Another poem from the pen of my alter ego Barry Hodges Half asleep, I sense you rise from the bed Where we have shared love's passion, Your sweaty body glistening as the dawn's early light Peeks through the curtains of our ensuite bedroom. O! To think that our great love affair must end Now that your husband has threatened To asphyxiate your six dear children If you do not cast me aside like a worn out shoe. And when I awake fully I find you gone forever, The only souvenir of our last night together Being a small squashed **** lying on the stained bedlinen. O! How can I ever forget such a tragic awakening? *FOOTNOTE [I knew from bitter experience of similar occurrences that dear old Mrs Bloggs (Seaview Bijou B&B;, The Esplanade, Ramsgate, Kent) was bound to make a hefty surcharge to disinfect the bedding thoroughly. What an unromantic old ***** she was, may she rot in Hell forever.]*

Memories of a Spring Morning in Ramsgate at the End of A Great Love Affair
Another poem from the pen of my alter ego Barry Hodges Half asleep, I sense you rise from the bed Where we have shared love's passion, Your sweaty body glistening as the dawn's early light Peeks through the curtains of our ensuite bedroom.

And when I awake fully I find you gone forever, The only souvenir of our last night together Being a small squashed **** lying on the stained bedlinen. O!
