Beryl Harrison Poems

He's a cunning beast of nature
A denizen of the night
Who would want to tame him
This majestic awesome sight.
...

You walk under a ladder and the paint tin falls on you
I walk under a ladder, I get the painter too.
You fall off a building with a long long way too go
You fall off the building, guess whose stood below?
...

I wish I'd looked after my body before it got too old,
I wish when I was told too clean my teeth I'd done as I was told,
I wish I'd taken my codliver oil before it got too late,
before my joints and extremities went past there sell by date.
