There was a young man named Parks
Who quoted the works of Karl Marx
To pretty young women,
Who thought of sinning,
Whilst Parks he thought of Karl Marx!

Shadows of the Past
My shadow in front of me.
Leaves fall from a nearby tree.
I think of an old England
I never knew.
Is all I understand
Or maybe half-see
The reality of me?
What is true
When the many/few
Call for Britain’s statues to fall,
And label me merely a reactionary?
Ghoul
On my way home late last night
I met a young lady in white.
She gave me a wave
And returned to her grave.
And the theatre was crowded last night!
The Perfumer
I met a beautiful young perfumer
Who had no sense of humour.
They say I spent
My money on scent.
But that’s just a wicked rumour!
Lou’s Footwear
When a young lady named Miss Lou
Threatened to spank me with her shoe
I said, “I really don’t care
What you do with your footwear,
But you’re exciting the old vicar Lou!”
The Vicious Old Goat
I met a vicious looking old goat
Who was dressed in a frock coat.
He said, “I will be level.
I am the wicked old devil!”.
So I skinned and ate that goat!
Rent Money
When a young lady who comes from Kent
Said, “sir, I can not pay my rent.
Lets have a quick affair!”.
I said to her, “Clair,
That’s great, but I’m not paying your rent!”
Bell
A young lady whose name is Bell
Has a reputation in a certain hotel,
Where she and Miss White
Provide their company at night.
And something more I have heard tell …
Miss Nell’s Hotel
A pious old lady named Miss Nell
Said, “I know of a most seedy hotel
Where fallen girls galore
Break God’s sacred law!”
But she refused to name that hotel …
—
A naughty young lady known as Nell
Frequents a most infamous and rundown hotel.
A policeman called Paul
Said, “all men fall”,
As he sat drinking tea with Nell …
Lou Who Composed a Poem to Her Shoe
There was a young lady named Lou
Who composed a poem to her shoe.
She took great care
Of her favourite footwear,
As all well bred young ladies do!
