A man who liked to eat chalk
Said that it helped him to talk.
One day, feeling bored,
He swallowed a blackboard.
Which worked very well with that chalk!

I said, “dear Miss Ling
Do you fancy a fling?”,
She said, “I only read in my bed!”

Assaulted by a Tree!
In the churchyard, something fell from a tree
And nearly hit me

About graveyards and mortality.

But trees assaulting me!
That makes me run!

Being Discrete

Who said, “sir, do please show some discretion!”,
Her name is Miss Bess
And here is her address –
But no! I think I should show more discretion!
Too Much Latin
There once was a great lover of Latin
Who had a job as a professional assassin.
Whilst reading great Virgil

Dawn who Like to Eat Acorns
When a young lady known as Dawn
Went and swallowed acorns on the lawn,
And they said to her, “dear!
Trees will sprout from your ear!”,
She said, “pardon!”, and swallowed another acorn
