Alan Cooper Poems

I know of men, of untold wealth
Who are as miserable as sin,
Whilst I, although in most unceratin health
Are surrounded by loving kin.
...

I think perhaps, the worst mistake,
It e'er befalls, a man to make,
In later years, when he has leasure,
Is to visit scenes of childhood pleasure.
...

Of all the senses, God gave man,
The sense of smell, is one we can
Least do without, for poor is he,
Who gazing, at some lilac tree,
...

To countless countries i have been.
Many's the wonderful sight I've seen.
The Taj Mahal, in moonlight's glow,
Majestic Alps, all crowned with snow'
...

Most objects here, do worthless seem,
Yet, within this shop, lies many a dream,
That Zulu shield some soldier brought,
From battlefield, where he gallantly fought.
...
