The Lady of Shalott got
Caught up in virtual reality.
She spun
Her web
And found not fun,
But the sheer banality
Of the living dead.

When a Young Lady Riding a Cow
When a young lady riding a cow
Said, “please can you tell me how
To write good verse”,
I began to curse
As I landed on that there cow!

There was a young lady of Dundee
Who decided to climb a tall tree.
When they said, “are you high?”
She said, “that I emphatically deny!
There is no pot in this tree!”
A Talented Young Lady of Good Hope
A talented young lady of Good Hope
Is an expert in tying a rope.
Some men spend time blogging
About the pleasures of flogging.
As for me, I visit Good Hope …
