As I Lay In My Bath Soaking
As I lay in my bath soaking.
I felt a most painful poking,
Which caused me to glare
At a comedian named Claire,
Who maintains she was only joking!

Who said, “all empires, one day, fall”.
My friend Jill
Lives on a hill,
But that’s nothing to do with Paul!

But, fearing it would be deleterious,

‘Tis the quiet time
Before the sun
Does come.
I shall rhyme
Ere the day is done
And I become,
As one with the setting sun

Came up in court for battery,
A judge called Trish

Said, “tis bliss to Kiss”,
Her friend Moriah

But his wealth, it gives me bliss!”.

When the wife of a man named Ted
Found a young woman asleep in their bed,
Her face turned dark
And she made a remark,
But I dare not repeat what she said!
