When a Vicious Young Man of Bristol

When a vicious young man of Bristol

Threatened me with his rapier and pistol,

A girl named Lake

Distracted him with cake,

And I whacked him with Miss Crystal!

When a Young Lady Wearing a Hat

When a young lady wearing a hat

Said, “tell me, do you fancy that?”.

I said, “Miss Coral,

I’m far too moral!

But I really do like that hat!”.

Churchyard Birds

These trees

Speak to me

Of mortality.

Touching old bark

And cold gravestone,

I hark

To the birds

Still heard

By me.

A Beautiful Young Lady Named White

A beautiful young lady named White

Brought delight to me last night.

In a backstreet hotel

That I know well

We composed poetry all last night.

When a scantily clad Miss Lyme

Said, “is this your first time?”,

A great poet I know

Said, “me and Miss flow,

We spend much time in rhyme”.

Pam

A young lady who is truly divine

Came round to mine for some wine.

Her name it is Pam.

Now she’s pushing a pram.

I wonder, will the baby like wine?

A Most Enterprising Young Lady Named Maddy

A most enterprising young lady named Maddy

Is looking for a rich sugar daddy.

When I had money

I was her honey.

But now I’ve been dumped by Maddy …

January seems dead.

Yet, in the churchyard birds

Sing.

 

 

And, come the spring

Birds will lay in boxes

To the delight

Of young children.

And foxes bark

In the depths of night.

A Most Forgetful Young Lady Named Lou

A most forgetful young lady named Lou

Has a habit of losing a shoe.

My dear old wife

Is waving a knife,

And my dog he’s found Lou’s shoe …
