Table Dancing

I know a young lady named Spink

Who is extremely fond of a drink.

Her and Miss Mabel

Dance on the table

When we gentlemen buy them a drink …

 

When I Met the Devil in a Pub

When I met the devil in a pub

I said, “have you come in for grub?”

He said, “the barmaid is pretty

And you sir are most witty!

But alas! This pub it has no grub!

Red

When a young lady in red

Invited me to come to bed

I said, “dear Miss Moore!

This is a furniture store!

And the manager has turned red!”

My Literary Estate

I am marrying a young lady named Kate

Who will inherit all of my literary estate.

She says, “writers have money”,

Which I find really funny –

As she’ll inherit all of my literary estate …

Jacinta’s Splinter

When a young lady named Jacinta

Went and trod on a splinter,

She hopped all around

And said something profound.

And then she cursed that splinter!

The Man Who Liked to Eat Chalk

A man who liked to eat chalk

Said that it helped him to talk.

One day, feeling bored,

He swallowed a blackboard.

Which worked very well with that chalk!

 

Miss Fox and the Telephone Box

There once was a young lady called Miss Fox

Who placed lots of ads in a phone box.

An elderly vicar named Glyn

Spoke of wickedness and sin

As he called Miss Fox from that telephone box …!

 

Too Much Latin

There once was a great lover of Latin

Who had a job as a professional assassin.

Whilst reading great Virgil

He became very ill.

That’s what comes of reading too much Latin!

 

 

Gorgeous Miss Unity

The gorgeous and very talented Miss Unity

Is well known in the poetry community.

She reads her verse nude,

Which many find quite rude!

And then I go home with Unity …!

 

Midnight Poetry

As I sat reciting poetry at midnight

I spied a young lady dressed in white.

When I said, “are you a ghost!”,

She said, “no! I’m your host!

And your poetry woke me up at midnight!”
