The Joys of Sinning

When we met a group of young women

Who spoke of the great joys of sinning,

The good vicar Paul

Talked of the fall,

And the bishop he just couldn’t stop grinning!

A Bull in a China Shop

There once was a bull from Hull

Who said, “I am feeling quite dull.

I’ll go with Miss Hop

To that new China shop.

The one that’s just opened in Hull!”.

Lou’s Aesthetic

When a poet known as Miss Lou

Walked around town wearing only 1 shoe,

They said, “your verse is pathetic!

But we do like your aesthetic,

As you look great wearing 1 shoe!”.

Morbid Miss Beth

A most nervous young lady named Beth

Was known for her fear of death.

Her old aunt Louise

Gave a great sneeze,

And frightened that young lady to death!

Happy Easter!

A young lady who calls herself Honey

Likes to dress as the Easter bunny.

After food and wine

We crossed that line –

Then that bunny she stole my money!

 

Happy Easter to all of my readers!

A Young Lady Named Amanda

I know a young lady named Amanda

Who says that I don’t understand her.

She is slim and petite

And lives on my street

And I’ve seen her walking her panda!

A Young Lady of Uganda

I met a young lady named Amanda

Who comes from a place called Uganda.

She called me sweet honey

And spent all my money,

Then escaped whilst dressed as a panda!

Threatened with Chains

When a young lady brandishing whips and chains

Said, “do you like a girl with brains?”,

I said, “dear Lou,

I most certainly do!

But please can you stop brandishing those chains!”

Swinging

When I went to a swingers bar

With a girl who calls herself Marr

A police constable named Flair

Danced nude on a chair –

But you should have seen Miss Marr …!

Melancholy Polly

There was a young lady named Polly

Who was known for her love of melancholy.

Her verse was so sad

It drove us all mad

So we exiled that girl to a folly
