Troth: An Anthology of Light Verse

Amicable numbers

===

Homemade clam pasta and a tiramisu that somehow tasted...erotic

===

Fedora felt a great rising heat, and she wasn't standing near an oven

The sea sparkles like a carpet of sapphires

Flowers bloom in an explosion of colour

Waltzers spin like whirling dervishes 

===

A demure non-fizzy mentos

The fine notes of bitterness make it perfect for a more mature audience

===

I can appreciate the heat
Contact lens boiling in your eye
Hot oranges; warm juice from a tangerine
A hedgehog really on fire
Two dolphins with flame throwers
The Backstreet Boys all lighting matches at the same time

===

Hairy boy dairy
Ripe juicy peach
Perfect for a picnic
Especially on the beach
If you find them too spherical
Just slice it with a knife
Put half in our pocket
And give half to your wife.

===

Monday: Dove grey
Tuesday: White
Wednesday: Powder blue
Thursday: Window pane blue
Friday: True blue

===

Earning a Masters in comparative political discourse in the plays of Shakespeare and Shaw

===

Creamed spinach over poached eggs and a dry martini with an olive

===
