When A Young Man of Stroud

When a young man of Stroud
Wrote, “death be not proud”,
A poet named John Donne
Sued him (just for fun),
And bankrupted that young man of Stroud!

(“Death Be Not Proud” was written by the English poet John Donne, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Be_Not_Proud_(poem).

A Young Lady Whose Name Is Lou

A young lady whose name is Lou
Married a billionaire who was 92.
But when he fell down the stair
A police inspector called Claire,
Couldn’t pin it on that young lady Lou!

Lou

When a young lady whose name is Lou
Behaved in a manner most blue,
I said, “you would look quaint
Covered in red paint,
But blue doesn’t suit you Lou”!

When a young lady by the name of Lou
Jumped in a vat of glue,
And I asked her why?
She made reply,
“Its just something I like to do”!
