“We know what was on his mind
When he composed a rhyme about time
And a flower who’s bloom to soon
Passed away”, they will say.
And I will make reply,
“Only the poet knows
The secret of the rose”.
But poets may lie.
A young lady known as Miss Page
Dances nude for gentlemen on the stage.
Her friend Nell
Slipped and fell
But I managed to grab Miss Page …!

A dog who had no tail
Made the poor vicar turn pale.
As the day turned dark
He would howl and bark
Until the devil returned his tail!
There was a young lady named Divine
Who composed poems all of 1 line.
When drunk on strong beer
Her verse it would veer
But the critics all found her divine!
There was an old man named Long
Who wept as he sang his swansong.
They took off their hats
And whacked him with bats.
And so ended that swansong of Long!
We are sparks
In the dark.
A brief light
Piercing the night.
But no spark
Conquers the dark.
There once was a very droll troll
Who went by the name of Doll.
A young lady named Miss Wood
Said, “you’ll come to no good!”
Which greatly amused that droll troll Doll!
My friend who is so very clever
Knows how to avoid the bad weather.
His name it is Moat
And instead of a coat
That clever young man wears Miss Heather!
