It lives but a moment
Gloriously colour’d
Water soap and air

Early morning in the park
Rain has fallen early
Wet footpaths glistening
Strollers walk briskly
Midnight at St Pancras
Gothic towers glow
In the grey midnight gloom
London sleeps silently
Falling water
Ev’ry rain drop
Creates a ring of rippling
Wet but of quite short life
Golf club
A ball you flog hard
Over lawns smooth and green
A game called golf, you know
Cat alert
Eyes searching for
A tasty snack dropped by chance;
The hungry pussy cat
Osama and Obama

Squeaky clean
A cloud of spray
A dirty automobile
Soon will be squeaky clean
Dress code
There are times
When a bow-tie is de rigueur
But I hate wearing it
de rigueur, meaning ‘ required by etiquette or current fashion’, despite its many vowels is pronounced ‘de rig-err’
