There was a young lady called Michelle
Who entered that placed named hell,
But being extremely rude
And more than crude
The devil did Michelle expel.

When a journalist by the name of Lee
When a journalist by the name of Lee
Wrote a story about me
I threatened to sue
But my lawyer, named Lou
Said, “but sir, every word of it is true!”.
There Was a Young Lady Named Lou
There was a young lady named Lou
Who wrote a book all about glue.
It was a tome most vast
And it’s pages being stuck fast
I could not read that book …
Gentlemen in Business Suits
Gentlemen in business suits
Dream of girls who lose
Their boots
And …
To choose.
To command.
Who does what
When man’s blood is hot
And her’s is not?
Keeping the wolf away
Is, they say
The reason why
Some girls go with a random guy.
But many would rather die
Than choose
To lose
Their shoes …
Bare
Bare branch
Grey sky
And I
Elsewhere girls dance
While I
Have this grey sky
And branch bare.
There Was A Young Man Called Moat
There was a young man called Moat
Who wrote a poem about a goat
While out at sea
With a girl named Leigh
And a rather vicious stoat!
SittingHere in My Dressing Gown
Sitting here, in my dressing gown
I frown
At the dull sky.
Perhaps there is nothing to say
On this rainy winter’s day.

Who is too far gone
To turn back.
