When a young man of Harrow
Escaped to a place called Jarrow,
And my friend Claire
Followed him to there,
He disguised himself as a marrow!

Who said, “one day I’ll break through
With my very quirky verse”.

When a religious young lady named Fay
Said, “sir, let us both now pray”.
I said, “we are full of sin,

I met a young lady named Ling

The Ad
Lonely at night?
You can delight
In the company
Of beautiful me!
There are no strings to tie.
You to me.

Can be
Whatever you wish me to be,
And I’ve uniforms galore
(and more),
so come visit me!
Or, if you prefer
My friend Claire
Can make it 3.
She has long blonde hair,
While I’m a brunette.
Please, come and see me,
And don’t forget,
The little matter of the fee …

When I said, “you are cruel!”,
He called me a stupid old fool,
And threw at me a marrow!
I Met A Young Lady in Victoria
I met a young lady in Victoria
Whose name was Louise or Gloria.
We went to a hotel,

I Met A Pretty Young Maid
I met a pretty young maid
Who said, “I’m far from staid!”.
I said, “my violin,
It speaks of sin,
And many a time I’ve played!”.
My Dog, Who I’ve Named Hegel
My dog, who I’ve named Hegel
Is extremely fond of a bagel.
Whilst my neighbour’s cat, called Marx,
Spends his days chasing fiery sparks,
And discussing dialectical materialism with Hegel!
A Young Lady Named White
A young lady named White
Advertises on a certain website,
Offering cream cakes and tea
With a girl called Leigh,
And I’m going round tonight!
