A Crushing Old Bore

And I asked her why
She heaved a great sigh,

Pushing new twins in her very large pram
I remembered all that wine

Have you ever been hit by a pram?
My New Year’s Eve Party
When the talented and beautiful Miss Ria
Wished us all a happy new year
That old rake Lord Mar
Said, “will you go far?”,
And he’s still washing off Ria’s beer …!

Forgetful Miss Brown
A most forgetful young lady named Miss Brown
Is in the habit of losing her gown.
My friend vicar Glynn
Says, “we all sin”,
When he returns that gown to Miss Brown …
London Bridge is Now Falling Down
When a young lady named Miss Brown
Said, “London Bridge is now falling down!”,
An old man called Guy
Said, “no! it’s the sky!
And there’s a chicken running about town!”
