Miss Follett and Alice

As I strolled through London’s Crystal Palace

I met a young lady named Alice.

She and Miss Follett

Have borrowed my wallet.

Has anyone seen that Follett or Alice?

When a Morbid Young Man Named White

When a morbid young man named White

Said, “I may die this very night!”.

I said, “I’ll have your lover

The beautiful and talented Miss Glover”

White said, “yes, that is perfectly alright!”

Mole Who was Fond of Eating Coal

Who had a liking for eating coal.

Lit a great fire

Which quickly burned Mole and his coal!

I Found a Sock

I found a sock

Too small to be mine.

Perhaps, after wine

Some lover of mine

Forgot her sock. But what

Do lovers do

When missing 1 sock?

Do they wear 1 shoe?

Politics and Beer

When a beer loving Socialist named Grub

Went and entered a prestigious Conservative club,

And they said, “why are you here!”,

He said, “I came here for beer,

As the beer here is very good!”.

Debauch

Following a night of great drunkenness and debauch

I found a young lady on my porch.

Her name it was Lou

And she’d lost a shoe.

I wonder, was she part of my debauch?

The Bliss of Married Life

When I said to a girl called Lou

“Let us pretend that I’m married to you”.

And she said, you are always out drinking!

And at my girlfriends you are forever winking!”.

I said, “Lou, when did I marry you!”

On a Damp and Dark Halloween

On a damp and dark Halloween

I observed a most interesting scene.

The Devil did romance

A demon from France

As the banshee did loudly scream!

All Taped Up

A young woman in a dark cape

Wrapped me up with very thick tape

And posted me

To sunny Dundee,

Where I made a most daring escape!

I Once Met a Man Named Charles Dickens

I once met a man named Charles Dickens

Who was known for his love of chickens.

When I said, “do you write?”,

He said, “yes throughout the night.

But my writing is all eaten by chickens!”
