When a young man with a perm
Said, “truly you are a worthless worm!”.
I said to him, “Coker,
You’ve always been a joker!”,
As with shears I chopped that perm!

“Can I use your bathroom?”.

A young man whose name is Blair
Has a habit of calling me Clair.

When an Excitable Young Lady Named Lou
When an excitable young lady named Lou
Said, “I never thought I’d be here with you!”.
And I said, “my dear,
But now you are here”,
She said, “yes! That is undoubtedly true!”.
The Truth
I said
To my friend
That the waitress
Was aloof.
Perhaps shy.
But the truth
Is I
Wanted bed.
Rose and her Toes
I know a young lady named Rose
Who likes to show me her toes.
My wife Coral
Calls her immoral,
But she hasn’t seen Rose without clothes!
