There once was a young lady named Pearl
Whose reputation made the poor bishop’s hair curl.
I often used to go
To a place called Soho
To enjoy tea and cakes with that girl …

Louise and Her Fleas
There was a young lady named Louise
Who was extremely fond of pet fleas.
Her boyfriend called Hogg
Owned a large dog,
Where Louise kept all her pet fleas!
Ivy On a Churchyard Tree
Ivy on a churchyard tree
Reminded me of my mortality.
The vital cycle
Ending in eternity.
The Law of Averages
Given their profession
And the law of averages
It can probably be said
That many are now dead.
A girl writes her confession.
An average memoir
Of lost bras
And the price of vice.
But the dead
Write no memoirs
Of ripped bras
And average men.
Knocking
On awaking to a very loud knocking
I turned to the beautiful Miss Hocking
And said, “’tis time
To indulge in rhyme.
And why is your boyfriend loudly knocking?”
The Brotherhood of Man
When a religious old lady named Miss Ann
Announced her belief in the brotherhood of man.
I thought her real sweet
And asked for some meat.
But I was not the brother of Ann …
Mine for Tonight
Mine for tonight.
Oh sweet delight
Of skin
On skin.

My Date with Kate
When I went out on a date
With a gorgeous young lady named Kate,
That naughty Miss Rose
Took off her clothes.
And the police they stormed the gate!
There Once Was a Talented Old Beagle
There once was a talented old beagle
Who wrote for the great Der Spiegel.
Just last May
He passed away,
And was replaced by a golden eagle!
