There is no light
To brighten the night
As I pass
Along the churchyard path
Just gusting wind
Eternal as the rain.
There is No Light

My hair is thinning.
I drink and think
On sinning with women.
And, as I drink

Where my hair
Has upped and gone!

Who hung around the old music hall.
The great bishop Hocking
Found it real shocking
So he disciplined Ball in his hall …!
There Once Was a Poet Named Black
There once was a poet named Black
Who read his poetry in the outback.
When they threw rotten fruit
He played his old flute
And he threw that fruit right back!
Gale Who Yanked a Poor Lion’s Tail
There was a young lady named Gale
Who yanked at a poor lion’s tail.
That young woman was superficial,
But the beast being artificial
This tale doesn’t end badly for Gale!
