When a middle class lass
Met a collector of brass.
They discussed Furlough
And how far
Some young women will go.
And the failings of radar
When A Middle Class Lass
Leave a reply
The Kindly Judge
An extremely kindly old high court judge
Is famous for not holding a grudge.
When he sentenced Miss Gale
To a spell in jail,
He gave her a box of fudge!
As I Strolled By A Crystal Clear Stream
As I strolled by a crystal clear stream
A young lady offered me strawberries and cream.
When I said, “why are you nude?”.
She said, “surely you are no prude!
Besides, you know this is only a dream!”.
Art and Sin
He sees the mind behind
Those stilettos,
And her so short clothes.
There is bliss

Footprints will go,
Covered by snow
And this dear England of mine,
Is it all in my mind?
Racey Tracy
I know a pretty young lady named Tracy
Who has a reputation for being quite racey.
Dear readers, I must confess
I’ve oft seen her dress.
But rarely when being worn by Miss Tracy …

Pages from one of the first books ever printed in England were recently found by librarians at the University of Reading. The pages, which were hidden away for decades in the pages of a different text, were meant to tell priests how to plan feasts.
Sarum Ordinal
According to Atlas Obscura and The Independent, the librarians found two pages from a priest’s handbook called Sarum Ordinal or Sarum Pye, which had been pasted inside of another book to reinforce its spine. A librarian working to restore that book noticed and pulled out the pages from the priest’s handbook; they date to between 1476 and 1477.
