THE SMILE POEMS #46 - CODED LOVE SONGS

 I have a portfolio of features, reviews, poetry and short fiction published in all sorts of places - Belfast Telegraph, Tribune, Ireland's Own, Dalhousie Review, Fairlight Books, Reader's Digest, Reality, Lapwing Poetry, Ink, Sweat & Tears, Spillwords, Dear Reader, Amethyst Review, Black Bough, to name a selection.  Oh, and the odd BBC radio contribution. I wrote books on retailing, on dealing with job losses and a biography of film star Stephen Boyd.

This is a series of (hopefully) funny poems from hundreds I've written over the years (inspired by the likes of Spike Milligan and Roger McGough) to provoke a smile in these odd times.

CODED LOVE SONGS

 

Ob la di ob la da,

Shang a lang,

A wop bop a loo bop a wop bam boom,

Scaramouche, Scaramouche,

Be bop a lula,

De do do do, de da, da da,

Do wah diddy diddy,

Coo ca choo,

Sha la la la lee,

Da do run run.

 

Can I be any clearer, my darling?
