When a daring young lady named Ria
Decided to swing from my old chandelier,
The good Bishop Paul
Feared she would fall.
But she fell long ago, did Ria.

Terse
A young man driving a hearse
Said, “my verse is very terse”.
There Was a Young Lady Named Yvette
There was a young lady named Yvette
Who caused many rich gentlemen to forget
Their duty and sense,
Which led to expense.
And a contented and very wealthy Yvette.
When A Young Lady Most Enigmatical
When a young lady most enigmatical
Said, “you are far too fanatical”.
And I failed to comprehend,
She called me her friend.
And then we discussed the grammatical.
For Tomorrow We Die
When a young man whose name is Jerry
Said, “let us eat, drink and be merry”.
And I said, “for tomorrow we die”,
He said, “sir, “that is a lie!”.
As tomorrow I am getting married to Sherry!”.
My Tory Friend
My friend whose name is Lou
Is a Tory through and through.
Being a young lady bold
She swims in water cold,
Which makes Lou turn bright blue!
Leaf Blower
The leaf blower blows.
But can not keep pace
With the fall of leaves.
The wise man knows
That the race
Of dead leaves
Must end in dust
For them.
And men.
The Policeman
When a policeman said, in a manner most mysterious
“Sir, are you treating this matter as truly serious?”.
I stood on my head
And with great gravity said,
“Officer, I am never anything other than truly serious!”.

Reading a Poem
It is a fact
That one may beautify
A lie,
Or other ugly act
In rhyme.
The good-time
Girl, becomes his lover true.
But, those who
Can read between a line,
May, correctly, construe his rhyme.
