Gorgeous Miss Unity

The gorgeous and very talented Miss Unity

Is well known in the poetry community.

She reads her verse nude,

Which many find quite rude!

And then I go home with Unity …!

 

The Careless Young Guy

There once was a careless young guy

Who fell into some very sharp cacti.

He said with a squeal,

“These are the real deal!”.

Then sighed and died from those cacti!

 

Midnight Poetry

As I sat reciting poetry at midnight

I spied a young lady dressed in white.

When I said, “are you a ghost!”,

She said, “no! I’m your host!

And your poetry woke me up at midnight!”

 

Pistols in Bristol

There once was a man from Bristol

Who was famous for his antique pistol.

When he gave a great cough

That  old gun it went off!

There once was a man from Bristol …!

 

The French Dancer

I know a young lady from France

Who likes to dance on a high branch.

When she’s in the mood

I’ve seen her dance nude –

But not on a very high branch!

A Young Lady of Ill Repute

I know a young lady of ill repute

Who has great skill in playing the flute.

Her friend Miss Morgan

Plays the vicar’s organ  –

They say he’s a man of great repute …!

When a Beautiful Young Lady from Harwich

When a beautiful young lady from Harwich

Went and boarded a first class carriage,

And a ticket collector named Glass

Said, “this ticket is second class!”.

She said, “but I am proposing marriage …!”

A Critic Named Green

I once read a critic named Green

Who was famous on the poetry scene.

He wrote my verse

It grows steadily worse.

Now he’s vanished from the poetry scene …

When I Dated a Young Lady in Waiting

When I dated a young lady in waiting

Who said, “sir, are you fond of mating?”.

I said, “my dear Yvette!

We have only just met!”.

She said, “never keep a young lady waiting …!”

 

 

Sceptical Claire

When a sceptical young lady named Claire

Found a ghost sitting in her chair,

She said, “I must be drunk

As I’m imagining  a ghostly monk!”.

And that ghost he glared at Claire!
