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!

 

Barking Up the Wrong Tree

When my dog friend said to me,

“You are barking up the wrong tree!”,

I said to him, “Mark,

I am unable to bark!

And you can not climb that tree!”

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 …!

A Young Lady of Malta

I know a young lady of Malta

And no-one is able to fault her.

But back at mine

She crosses a line –

But nobody knows that in Malta …!

Bill the Thief

There once was a thief named Bill

Who dated a young lady called Jill.

He stole her heart

And all her art,

So they locked him in a mill!

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!

Gwen and her Pen

There once was a student named Gwen

Who was fond of throwing her pen.

A teacher called Lou

Said, “that won’t do!”,

And threw that pen back at Gwen!

The Ferryman

When a ferryman who sailed the great river Styx

Went and pelted me and my mates with bricks,

Me and Moat

Sank his boat,

Which now lies at the bottom of the Styx!

Lost Shoes

A young lady who is fond of booze

Lost her stiletto shoes in the river Ouse.

Now a naughty nun

Wears them for fun –

We met on a round the world cruise!

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!
