There Once Was a Slug From Slough

There once was a slug from Slough

Who said, “I really don’t know how

This lettuce tastes so good!

I wish that I could

Spend my days eating lettuce in Slough!”

Friends with Benefits

I know a young lady named Miss Kipps

Who is looking for a friend with benefits.

When I say, “honey,

I have no money”,

That Miss Kipps her sides she almost splits!

I’m Having a Bit of a Fling

I’m having a bit of a fling

With a girl who calls herself Ling.

My wife Moriah

Fancies the squire,

And the squire he likes to swing!

The Importance of Being Inclusive

When a young lady who is very inclusive

Said, “our love it will not be exclusive”.

And I said to Coral,

“Is that girl really moral?”,

She said, “no! but she is very inclusive!”

The Coming Halloween

Soon it will be Halloween.

I will hide behind gravestones

For a laugh. Jumping out as you pass.

But should cold old bones

Find me on Halloween, I will loudly scream!

My Strict Headmaster

I once had a very strict headmaster

Who said, “boy! You are a total disaster!”.

I said to him, “sir,

You must take great care!”,

As I drove his car much faster!

An Interesting Question

I know a young lady named Winning

Who spends all her days in sinning.

My girlfriend Coral

Calls her immoral

And asks how I know Miss Winning …

The Mad Old Professor

When I met a mad old professor

Who jumped out of my Welsh dresser,

I said to him, “Jim!

You are far from slim!

How did you fit in that dresser!”

 

When a Married Young Lady in My Bathtub

When a married young lady in my bathtub

Said, “can we go to a sex club!”.

I said, “Mrs Hocking!

Your suggestion is shocking!

But I hear the food there is good …”
