A Dog Who Had No Tail

A dog who had no tail
Made the poor vicar turn pale.
As the day turned dark
He would howl and bark
Until the devil returned his tail!

There Was a Young Lady Named Divine

There was a young lady named Divine
Who composed poems all of 1 line.
When drunk on strong beer
Her verse it would veer
But the critics all found her divine!

Swansong

There was an old man named Long
Who wept as he sang his swansong.
They took off their hats
And whacked him with bats.
And so ended that swansong of Long!

There once was a very droll troll
Who went by the name of Doll.
A young lady named Miss Wood
Said, “you’ll come to no good!”
Which greatly amused that droll troll Doll!

My friend who is so very clever
Knows how to avoid the bad weather.
His name it is Moat
And instead of a coat
That clever young man wears Miss Heather!

When a young lady tramping through barley
Said, “do you know old farmer Farley?”
They said, with a glare,
“Claire! Get out of there!
You are trampling old farmer Farley’s barley!”

Eternity

Shall I intrude

Into their quietude?

The wind sings

As I,

Alone

Pass by

Gravestone.

Time has stopped,

For those below.

I have the clock

And somewhere to go.

But the wind sings

Softly to me

In the churchyard tree.
