Vicar Large and the Barge

When I saw the good vicar Large

Making love to young women on a barge,

I just couldn’t stop grinning

And spoke of his sinning!

He said, “you’re paid to steer this barge!”

 

When I Met the Devil in a Pub

When I met the devil in a pub

I said, “have you come in for grub?”

He said, “the barmaid is pretty

And you sir are most witty!

But alas! This pub it has no grub!

Chickens and Bottled Beer

There once was an author named Dickens

Who wrote a novel all about chickens.

It lay undiscovered for years

Among some old bottled beers

And a spinster who kept drunken chickens!

No Soul

There once was a young man named Mole

Who said, “I believe you have no soul!”

An old person called Neville

Said “I’m not the devil!”

And his eyes they blazed like hot coal …!

 

Cerebral

A young lady who is really most cerebral

Said, “your poetry it is so very terrible!”

I said to her, Jane,

You have a great brain,

But your manners they are really most terrible!”

A Young Lady’s Sock

A young lady drunk on Hock

Walked around wearing only 1 sock.

When they said, “you’re nude!,

Which is so very rude!”

She said, “I’m wearing a sock!”

Celebrity

A celebrity who appears on my TV

Is looking for a date with me.

Her name is Miss Spink

And I’ve seen her wink,

And I know that winks for me!

A Young Lady’s Hat

When a young lady wearing only a hat

Went and invited me back to her flat,

And I said, “Rose!

Where are your clothes!”,

She said, “You’re silly! They’re at my flat!”

 

My Literary Estate

I am marrying a young lady named Kate

Who will inherit all of my literary estate.

She says, “writers have money”,

Which I find really funny –

As she’ll inherit all of my literary estate …

If there is No Heaven or Hell

If there is no heaven or hell

Then one may as well

Give in to sin.

 

 

But they say Hell’s fire is hot

So perhaps better not

Play with pretty Miss Moriah.

 

 

Though I have heard the atheists tell

There is no hell.

So I’m going to heaven

With Moriah at 7 …
