The Time Traveller

The Time Traveller

1

Emily Bronte, even prettier of late

Though your fabulous dress is a trite out of date

If we head to the shops the odd person may stare

Blind to the beauty beneath what you wear

Yet we can ignore them, I’ve plenty of cash

With the cheaper the item the more likely the trash

Or else there’s romancing; I’d much prefer this

For your absence has left me with no one to kiss

But naturally change is forever abound

So you can decide between trite and profound

Now for the good news

I’ve a bottle of port

If shopping sounds boring

Then be a good sport

Just ignore what is written

It will leave you distraught

And think like a kitten

Amounting to nought

Clearly I am smitten

And today it is taught

The best fruit can be bitten

Just as long as you avoid getting caught

2

What else can I tell you; I’m a writer myself

With a laptop computer I bought off the shelf

I did write a novel; it could do with a clean

To be honest our culture is becoming obscene

I can fetch you a snack, say spaghetti on toast?

Followed by coffee or the tea you love most

My servants are off for the day as you see

If you have any questions feel free to ask me

Of course I remember the last time we met

Such pleasure is something I cannot forget

But I was a poet that stood out from the crowd

While you were naïve to the ways of our world

Now for the good news

I’ve a bottle of port

If snacking sounds boring

Then be a good sport

Just ignore what is written

It will leave you distraught

And think like a kitten

Amounting to nought

Clearly I am smitten

And today it is taught

The best fruit can be bitten

Just as long as you avoid getting caught

The End
