when a young lady whose name is Rose
Composed a poem about crows,
A priest called Paul

Humorous Saturday

When a young lady whose name is Skinner
Invites me round for dinner,

I’m waiting still
And wonder will …

On my way through the churchyard at midnight
I met a young woman in white.
When I said, “who are you?”
She replied, “believe me, its true,
I’m a girl who dresses in white!

When A Young Man of Stroud

When a young man of Stroud
Wrote, “death be not proud”,
A poet named John Donne
Sued him (just for fun),
And bankrupted that young man of Stroud!

(“Death Be Not Proud” was written by the English poet John Donne, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Be_Not_Proud_(poem).
