When A Young Lady With Absolutely No Inhibition

When a young lady with absolutely no inhibition
Entered a rather prestigious competition,
And took off her dress,
Her sweet mother named Bess
Said, “but darling, this is a poetry competition!”.

When a Middle-Aged Lady Named Ann

When a middle-aged lady named Ann
Said, “have you seen my man?”.
I said, “he went off with Bess.
A blonde in a little black dress.
And why are you waving that pan!

When A Rather Vicious Looking Bunny

When a rather vicious looking bunny
Said, “give me all your money!”.
And I said, “are you a highwayman?”,
He said, “no, my name is Dan,
But my friends all call me Honey!”.

There Was A Young Lady Named Maude

There was a young lady named Maude
Who, feeling extremely bored
Said, to miss Bess,
Let us both undress”.
And the general unsheathed his great sword.

My Art

When a young lady by the name of miss Heart
Said, “I really don’t like your poetry, which you call art!”.
It is so very old hat,
And young women don’t like that!”.
I said, “the world’s going to hell in a handcart!”.
