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”.

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”,

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!

For them.
And men.

When a policeman said, in a manner most mysterious
“Sir, are you treating this matter as truly serious?”.

In rhyme.
The good-time
Girl, becomes his lover true.
But, those who
Can read between a line,
May, correctly, construe his rhyme.
Song
The wind is strong
At the start
Of the wooded path,
Which is not long.
As I pass
To it’s heart
There is no song.
But, near the end
Of the path
I hear your song
Again, my friend.
When A Young Lady Drunk On Strong Booze
When a young lady full of strong booze
Said, “have any of you seen my shoes?”.
And she danced on the table
They said, “my dear Miss Mabel,
“Are those your shoes, floating in our booze!.
