Life After Death

There once was a young lady named Beth

Who said, “there is no life after death!”.

A ghoul called Nool

Called her a fool

Which frightened that poor young lady to death!

Maddy’s Sugar Daddy

I know a young lady named Maddy

Who is dating a rich sugar daddy.

I hear from Miss Heather

He’s neither witty nor clever.

But he’s rich and he’s dating Maddy!

Tight Leather

I met a young lady in tight leather

Who said, “my name it is Heather.

I go out on the town

All my sorrows to drown,

But pass out through wearing tight leather!”

Temporary

On my way home

I passed by street lights

On a winter’s night

And thought of glorious Rome

As their temporary sparks

Held back the dark.

When a Young Lady Who Works in Vice

When a young lady who works in vice

Went and slipped on some treacherous  black ice,

And a vicar called Paul

Said, “I’ve seen many fall!”,

She said, “help me up off this ice!”.

 

Shocking

I know a young lady named Hocking

Whose life is blameless not shocking.

Her friend Miss Coral

Is so very moral

And this poem is boring not shocking!

The Hungry Ghost

They say there’s a very hungry ghost

Who goes around eating all the toast.

A girl called Coral

Says that he’s immoral.

But I’ve seen her eat the toast!
