There was a young student from Stroud
Who wrote “death be not proud”.
His teacher Matt
Said “Donne penned that!
You plagiarising young man from Stroud!”.

Caused that young man to cower!

Who lived in a narrow old alley.
When the moon shone bright
She would dance by it’s light
And sing of her childhood valley

There Was An Elderly Man Named Spink
There was an elderly man named Spink
Who drove his poor wife to drink.
He returned home very late
With his young mistress Kate
In a taxi the colour of pink!
We All Fall
We all
Fall
From time to time
And a few
(Not me and you!)
Hide our crime
From view
In rhyme.
