The Alligator and My Calculator

I once met a very large alligator

Who asked could he borrow my calculator.

I said to him, “mate

Please go and eat Kate.

She’ll taste much nicer than my calculator!”.

A Young Lady Who is Really Nice

A young lady who is really nice

Is known for her love of spice.

Her name is Miss Lott

And she likes it hot.

And she also likes curry and rice!

The Importance of Hope!

There once was a man named Hope

Who jumped out of a large envelope.

He gave a great shout,

Which caused quite a rout!

Then returned by post to Good Hope!

When a Wicked Old Rake Known as Winning

When a wicked old rake known as Winning

Said, “I’ve lost count of all the women

I have taken to bed”.

Alexa Says it Won’t Rain Today

Alexa says it won’t rain today.

I put my coat on anyway.

Sure enough, it rains again.

Should I maintain

My faith in the reliability

Of modern technology?

No, today I shall pray

To the god of rain

And silently blast

The weather forecast!

 

Do that Again

When a beautiful young lady named Gwen

Said, “please go and do that again!”,

A writer called White

Smiled with great delight,

As again, he reached for his pen.

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!”

With a girl who calls herself Ling.

And the squire he likes to swing!
