There once was a young lady in waiting
Who, whilst watching the ducks at their mating
Got into very hot water,
While the vicar’s sweet daughter
Dated young men who she didn’t keep waiting …!
When I climbed into my bed last night
I found 2 young women named Miss White.
I said to Miss Jane,
“They have the same name!
And please can you turn out the light”.
An old author suffering from writer’s block
Drowned his sorrows in women and hock.
He found sweet delight
In pretty Miss White
But she didn’t cure his writer’s block!
I find my scalp flaking.
Bits of dead skin escaping.
But they are not me
For I am sweet poetry.
Yet my little sun
Shall one day become
Just dust.
There is no light
To brighten the night
As I pass
Along the churchyard path
Just gusting wind
Eternal as the rain.

As I strolled home on Valentine’s day
I met a young lady named Fay.
When I said, “you are divine.
Do say you’ll be my Valentine!”
Fay said, “its extra on Valentine’s day …”.
My hair is thinning.
I drink and think
On sinning with women.
And, as I drink
I ponder on
Where my hair
Has upped and gone!
Heels at night.
Delight and pain.
Her disdain.
His lust.
All dust.
Their mutual shame.
There was a young lady named Ball
Who hung around the old music hall.
The great bishop Hocking
Found it real shocking
So he disciplined Ball in his hall …!
