Stegosaur Sonnet
Bringing out the dinosaur
Shall I compare thee to a stegosaur, pray?
Thou art more spiky and more ungulate.
Rough hands do take the darling spuds away,
When bangers'n'mash I want upon my plate.
Sometime too hot, your pepper breath doth sear
And tinged with gin and tonic, wine and beer.
And every fayre beware your entry there,
When often drunk you will appear.
For thy eternal boozing shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that slurring voice.
Nor shall Grace boast she lingers in your shade,
When striking her, a backhand was your choice.
So long as men shall live and eyes can see,
You'll bring about the dinosaur in me.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
