There was a young lady named Ling
With whom I had a fling.
I swear its true
That I love you.
But love is such a temporary thing …

Who lived in a narrow old alley.

She would dance by it’s light
And sing of her childhood valley

She heaved a great sigh
And said “I don’t know why
The spring it rhymes with Ling”.
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.
Valentine
Ah the joy of Valentine!
The loving words said
And the quaffing of wine,
Then waking up in bed
Beside your love divine.

(She’s so young and fair)
You think “upon my life
She is not my wife!”.

Said “all men’s delights are here”.
I looked really hard
And there in her yard
I discovered a barrel of beer!
