When a young man named Dave
Tripped over a freshly dug grave,
A corpse lying within
Said, with a grin,
“Its not your time yet Dave!”.

When An Ambitious Young Journalist Named Nell

Said, “I have a story to tell,
But it isn’t true.
Does that bother you?”,
Her editor said, “will it sell, Nell?”.
A Young Lady Who Works In The City
A young lady who works in the city
Said, “you are neither witty nor pretty”,
But, when she found I had money
She called me sweet and her honey,
And moved in with me in the city!
In Youth
In youth
I played
And little thought on the truth
That ’twas a passing stage.
Now, in middle-age
Compliments are still paid
To me by young women,
Though my hair is thinning,
And I spend most of my time
In rhyme.

Who says she likes to swing.

With the great and the literati,
I saw not 1 single swing!
Early Afternoon Humour
When a young lady named Leigh
Said, I have a degree!”,
And I asked, “where did you study?”,
She said, “in fields very muddy,
As my degree’s in archaeology!”.

Being possessed of a poetic soul,
Recites dark and mournful poetry
To a young lady called Leigh,
Whilst wearing a washing up bowl!

A young lady named Megg
Says she’s layed an egg.
The tabloids have gone wild
And a patents been filed,
But Megg is pulling their leg!
When A Young Lady Named Rose
When a young lady named Rose
Said, “I shall a poem compose!”,
A police constable called Kate
Said, “that really is great,
But please, put on some clothes!”.
