Is fond of trampolining.
At dead of night
I received a fright,
When she jumped right through my ceiling!

A young lady under a red light
Said, whilst smiling provocatively at me,
“Are you looking for some company?”,
And the stars they shone very bright!

When A Young Lady Dressed As A Smarty

Said, “I’ve come about the party”,
And I replied, “Conservative or Labour?”,

And I’m inviting you to our swingers party!”.

When I Found A Young Lady Named Mable

Dancing upon my fine old dining table,
And I said, “do you know that’s an antique!”,
She replied, “good sir, late next week
I shall meet you in your father’s old stable”

A Young Man Named Snell

Owns an extremely dirty hotel.
When I said “you must clean!”,
He replied, “have you not seen,
The low prices in this hotel!”.

I found to my great delight,
The late author, Mr Charles Dickens
With a large flock of toy chickens,
And my Mistress who calls herself White!

On Opening My Large Old Wardrobe

On opening my large old wardrobe
And seeing a young lady’s earlobe,
I said, “have you seen my shirt?”,
At which she called me a flirt,
And said, “please put on your robe!”.

When An Extremely Fat Man Named William Paul

When an extremely fat man named William Paul
Fell with great force against my garden wall,
And I heard the wall crack
As he fell on his back,
I said, “Paul, shall pay for my wall!”.
