Wayne Riley Poems

A bullfrog and a butterfly both chanced upon each other.

‘My dear, you are an ugly beast! ' the bullfrog dared to utter.
...

‘I luv my little puggy.'
I'd often would I say.
‘Luvvy luvvy puggy-
Forever and a day.'
...

Past umphle and some scatter beans

Past tickly cough we pass.
...

From claggy Bedders and Hornets hump,
From Cordell, Laws and Radar.
We trundle merry like a thump
To see Fab Adies sock.
...

I whispered lightly as a rose
To grease my oily bagpipe,
And sniffing with her hairy nose
A dwarf flew into sight.
...

‘I rant until i tattle.'
An old man said to me.
With boulders brass in battle
For Country, Queen and sea.
...

I came across a Jumpher
A jumphin' up at me.
It wasn't very springy
As far as i could see.
...

I softly went a huntin'
To find some softly sheep,
I cannot count without them
To lull me back to sleep.
...

I once awoke into a dream
And there I saw a sight.
Adrift, a draft of Daffodils
Breezed on a hard day's night.
...

If need be Norbert you could now
The asphyx of my flowers plough-
The silence of your boom aswell
Would hyde within my tree so well.
...
