Gorgeous Miss Unity

The gorgeous and very talented Miss Unity

Is well known in the poetry community.

She reads her verse nude,

Which many find quite rude!

And then I go home with Unity …!

 

The Careless Young Guy

There once was a careless young guy

Who fell into some very sharp cacti.

He said with a squeal,

“These are the real deal!”.

Then sighed and died from those cacti!

 

Midnight Poetry

As I sat reciting poetry at midnight

I spied a young lady dressed in white.

When I said, “are you a ghost!”,

She said, “no! I’m your host!

And your poetry woke me up at midnight!”

 

A Young Lady of Ill Repute

Who has great skill in playing the flute.

They say he’s a man of great repute …!

When a Beautiful Young Lady from Harwich

Went and boarded a first class carriage,

And a ticket collector named Glass

Said, “this ticket is second class!”.

She said, “but I am proposing marriage …!”

A Critic Named Green

I once read a critic named Green

Who was famous on the poetry scene.

He wrote my verse

It grows steadily worse.

Now he’s vanished from the poetry scene …

Sceptical Claire

When a sceptical young lady named Claire

Found a ghost sitting in her chair,

She said, “I must be drunk

As I’m imagining  a ghostly monk!”.

And that ghost he glared at Claire!

Secrets

When a young lady named Miss Moon

Trusted me with all her secrets yesterday afternoon,

I told her about Lou

Who works in a zoo

And moonlights as a stripper on Saturday afternoons!

A Poet Named Cotton

There once was a poet named Cotton

Whose poetry has long since been forgotten.

I once met a pig

Who didn’t give a fig

For me or the poetry of Cotton!

Bill Who Lived on a High Hill

There once was a man named Bill

Who lived on a very high hill.

His young mistress Sally

Lived in a valley

And his wife she lived with Bill!
