Ghoul on a Train

I met a ghoul on a train

Who showed me his very big brain.

I said to him “ghoul!

You are truly a fool!”

He said “no! I’ve a big brain!”

Lassoed

When a young lady whose morals are loose

Went and lassoed me with her noose,

And I said, “honey,

I don’t have money!”

That girl she cut me loose!

Miss Heart

I met a young lady named Heart

Who asked me to show her my art.

She was full of desire

And did greatly admire –

And then I showed her my art

Cecil Who Went to Sea in a Vessel

There once was a poet named Cecil

Who went to sea in a vessel.

As the boat sank

He penned verses blank.

But they never found them or Cecil!

Dave in a Grave

When I found a young man named Dave

Lying in a freshly dug grave,

And I said, “are you dead?”,

He said, “No! I am ted!”

I said, “No, you are most definitely Dave!”

 

Marr’s Bar

I know a young lady named Marr

Who works in a very rough bar.

I like to drink there

With a tough guy called Blair,

And we’re all terrified of Marr!

Vicar’s Table

When a young lady named Mable

Danced nude on the vicar’s table,

I said to Miss Hocking,

“That girl’s behaviour’s shocking!”

She said, “Yes! She’ll break that table!”

Crocodile

A crocodile on a log.

I sat. My dog nearby

And thought

Perhaps

I ought

To run away

To live another day

As the creature might be starving –

But it was merely carving,

A log,

Me, and my dog

On a spring day
