My hair is thinning.
I drink and think
On sinning with women.
And, as I drink
I ponder on
Where my hair
Has upped and gone!

Gale Who Yanked a Poor Lion’s Tail

But the beast being artificial
This tale doesn’t end badly for Gale!

Who, being unable to master the Japanese tanka,
Composed a fine sonnet
Whilst Wearing a bonnet
As she danced on a large oil tanker!

A young lady who is sometimes sporty
Has a reputation for being very naughty.
When on the field
All the men yield,
But sometimes she likes to be sporty …

There was a young man named Ray
Who composed a fine poem each May.
For the rest of the year
He was drunk on strong beer.
