A young lady whose name is Leigh
Asked me round for tea.
My girlfriend Lou
Came along too,
And spilled my cup of tea!

A Girl Gave Me Daffodils Today
A girl gave me daffodils today.
I said
“Thank you” (as I ought).
Some of them are, already, dead
“Can You Hear The Birds?” She Said
“Can you hear the birds?” she said
As we lay
In bed.
I pondered on our play
Of yesterday,
And On is and ought.
And on how she
And me
Have more in common than I thought.
A Young Lady Who Is Divine
A young lady who is divine
Invited me out to dine.

Called me a crushing bore,

She already had, and the short dress
To. Although I must confess
That I know not
What she thought. But, at any rate
Her recompense
Was great
Redress for any sense
That she was being abused
(And girls choose
To wear such shoes
Do they not)?
And his expense
Was huge.
As for the aftermath,
She took a bath,
While prior to sleep
He counted sheep
Its True That Double Beds Are Made For 2
Its true
That double beds are made for 2
But when tea
Turns into wine
3 can be divine.
Or so I understand
From a girl named Bland,
Who says that she
Can introduce me …
There Was A Young Man Named Glover
There was a young man named Glover
Who fell in love with a plover.
But when his love was unrequited
With a flighty young woman he united,
Which didn’t please his mother!

That foolish young man named Glover!
When A Young Lady Whose Name Is Heather
When a young lady whose name is Heather
Went out in windy weather,
She wore an extremely short dress,
Which I must confess
Was not exactly clever!
