When an Extremely Pushy Young Lady of Malaysia

When an extremely pushy young lady of Malaysia

Demanded that we all go and praise her,

A man from Liverpool

Called her a fool,

And got praised by the people of Malaysia!

 

The Importance of Discretion

A young lady of a very ancient profession

Is well known for her tact and discretion.

I’ve seen her in town

With her friend vicar Brown –

They think I possess great tact and discretion …!

The Naughty Nymph

I’ve just met a very naughty nymph

Who winked at me from a plinth.

Her name is Miss Follett

And she has my wallet!

Dear reader! Have you seen that nymph!

Perm

I met a man with a perm

Who called me a worthless worm.

I grabbed sharp sheers

And despite his tears

I cut off that worthless perm!

Whilst Engrossed in Wuthering Heights

Whilst engrossed in Wuthering Heights

I saw a young lady in tights.

I said to her, “Rose!

You are wearing no clothes!”,

She said, “no! I am wearing some tights!”

 

When a Man of the World

When a man of the world said, “Rose,

The wise young woman knows

That all men they are full of sin!”,

That girl gave a grin,

As she went in search of her clothes …!

Ron and the Scone

There once was a man named Ron

Who liked to go on and on!

A girl called Lin

Said, “forgive my sin!”,

As she brained Ron with a scone!

 

(The word “scone” is often pronounced as “scon” depending on which part of the UK one comes from).

The Poet’s Goat

There once was a poet named Moat

Who rode around on a great goat.

When they said, “your verse,

It grows worse and worse!”,

He would smile and blame that goat!

Voltaire

As I walked through Trafalgar Square

I met the ghost of Voltaire.

I said, “are you Candide?”.

He said, “no sir! Indeed!

I am Voltaire! haunting Trafalgar Square!”

Great Poetry

When a young lady known as Kate

Said, “I think your poetry is great!”,

I said to her, “honey,

Are you looking for money?”,

And she winked at me did Kate …!
