There once was a silly old Duck
Who drove around in a big truck.
When he drove into a pond
He got rescued by a blonde,
And they married in that big truck!

Sally and the Alley
I met a young lady named Sally
Who was loitering in a dark alley.
I’ve heard many a confession
And can show great discretion.
And Sally lives at 2, the Alley …!
Old Broken Bough
I recall
How an old bough,
Ready to fall,
Blocked the woodland path.
I passed
Pushing it away
On a winter’s day
As birds sang.
The bough still hangs.
It must fall.
And I will recall
How I passed
That old broken bough
On the path
And how birds sang.
Fay and the Hay
A most dissolute young lady named Fay
Pulls respectable gentlemen down in the hay.
In the farmer’s field
I had to yield
As she is very persuasive is Fay!
A Young Lady of Hong Kong
When a young lady of Hong Kong
Went and sang a very sad song,
A whale called gale
Raised her great tail
And beat on a large dinner gong!
Certainties
I duck as I go
For the wind has bent a bough low
And toppled a street sign.
A winter breeze makes random patterns with leaves.
The wind has no time
For our certainties and lines.
The Man and the Goat
There once was a man with a goat
Who went and wrote a very important note.
But the goat said, “I’m starving.
I will pay you 1 farthing!”.
So he did, and he ate that note!
Snooty Miss Glass
an extremely snooty young lady named Glass
Said, “you are so very working class!”.
My good friend Miss Kate
Said, “he owns an estate!”.
And now I am married to Glass!

She will bring her dress and heels.
He will ask about university.
They will talk of the winter weather.
He’ll wonder how she feels
As he takes pleasure
In her short dress and youthful caress.
And hot sugary tea.
