When A Young Lady Named Ann

When a young lady named Ann
Rattled a very large tin can,
And I said, “is that for charity?”
She replied, “no, its for me,
And my man, his name is Stan”.

There Once Was A Lady Named Lou

There once was a lady named Lou
Who made a rather delicious stew,
Composed of a shoe and a toad,
And some bits from the road,
And a dollop of very strong glue!

When A Young Lady Named Rose

When a young lady named Rose,
Who never would wear any clothes,
Went for a job interview
With a man called Drew,
She recited some very fine prose!

When a young lady named Rose,
Who would never wear any clothes,
Went for a job interview
With a man called Drew,
He fixedly looked at her nose!

Bits Of Paper

Poetry is bits of paper, blown
Away in the wind.
It is shouting into the breeze,
A voice lost amidst the trees.
It is arrogance overthrown.
It is the poet, who stands alone
Wondering what his legacy
Will be

When A Young Lady Of Rome

When a young lady of Rome
Lost a brand new golden comb,
It was found in Caesar’s bedroom
Scented with the sweetest of perfume,
Along with a naughty old gnome!

Hortense

A young lady named Hortense
Is quick to take offence.
When she said, “to rhyme
Is a most despicable crime,
I jumped upon her fence!

A young lady whose name is Hortense
Refuses to speak in the present tense.
She said, “I loved you yesterday
When your hair ’twas not grey,
But last week, please get thee hence!
