And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.

***
Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?
***
If I could write words
Like leaves on an autumn forest floor,
What a bonfire my letters would make.

If I could speak words of water,
You would drown when I said
'I love you.'
