A Young Lady Wearing Only One Boot

A young lady wearing only one boot
Has great skill in playing the flute.
Her right foot, being bare
She waves in the air,
As she kicks me with her boot!

The Sweeper of Leaves

The sweeper of leaves
Sweeps at all hours.
He takes new flowers.
And sometimes he leaves
Half-dead leaves, which quiver,
And wish to wither
Away. And we say
“Why take blooming flowers
When half-dead leaves stay?”
He sweeps at all hours.
All meet him one day.

Winter’s Bleak Weather

You will fly
Home today
From far away
And I
May give in
To sin
In winter’s bleak weather.

I am no saint.
The idea is quaint
In these modern times.
But does Man’s pleasure
In composing rhymes
To slim young women
Equate to sin?

My Old Wardrobe

When a young lady named Wang
Out of my old wardrobe sprang
My friend Miss June
Struck up a tune,
And my neighbours they sweetly sang!

Boxing Day

When a young lady named Fay
Said, “its great Boxing Day today!”
And she clenched her fist
I said, “you must desist!”
But that didn’t deter Miss Fay!

When I Met Satan on Christmas Day

When I met Satan on Christmas day
And I said, “let us all pray”.
He said, “make no mistake,
I have a terrible headache!
I shall sleep off my hangover today!”

Miss Spink’s Christmas Drinks

When a young lady named Miss Spink
Said, “would you like a Christmas drink?”
It ended under the table
With Spink and Miss Mabel
And a bishop dressed in bright pink!
