There was a young lady called Gale
Who drank 10 pints of ale.
When the barman asked “are you okay?”
She replied “tomorrow I will pay,
Without fail, for all of this ale …”!

Whispering
The breeze
Whispering in the trees
Does please me so,
But when people whisper on the train,
I am driven half insane,
For I wish to know
What makes them whisper so …!

Who kept a springer spaniel.
When it grew dark

In time with his springer spaniel
There Was A Young Lady Named Goose

Who’s morals where rather loose.

Of a summer’s night

There was a young Futurist named Page
Who was in love with the industrial age.

There was a young man named Hurd

Who throughout life spoke only one word.
But as he expired
He became inspired
And said “death is quite absurd!”
If All Our Fantasies Where Laid Bare
If all our fantasies where laid bare
For the world to see,
What would happen to you and me?
The bishop would no longer care
To have us round for tea!
Or if he did so
He might whisper low
“I have the same desires
But Hell’s fires
Are hot.
Besides I have got
A dragon for a wife,
But oh how I dream
Of whipped cream …!”

When she asked “do you mind?”
I replied “you will find
A letter from my lawyer named Magee!”

I feel so incredibly bitter!”
