A young lady named white
Came round to mine last night.
There she stood in my bedroom
Scented with the sweetest perfume,
As she deftly changed my light!

The Poets Rest
A publican whose name is Best
Runs a pub called the Poets Rest.
It is full of great débauche
And I think that perhaps I ought,
To stop drinking in the Poets Rest!

Works in the Poets Rest.
It is full of great débauche
So I think that I ought
Not to tell the rest!

Tied me up in the budding spring,

Whose poems just do not make sense!
She writes them in latin
Whilst dressed in pink satin,
And I wish she’d mend my fence!

Invited me out on a date,
My good friend Miss Lou
Lost more than her shoe,
But we all enjoyed our date!
