There Once Was a Rather Famous Old PM

There once was a rather famous old PM
Who, on hearing the chimes of Big Ben,
Turned to his Special Adviser,
And said to her, “Liza,
Let us swing from that great pendulum again …”.

Heather

When a young lady who calls herself Heather
Spoke to me of the pleasure of leather.

On a Day of Great Heat

Of great heat

Hocking

A young lady by the name of Hocking
Engages in behaviour which is really quite shocking.
I still have the shoe
Of that wicked Miss Lou,
And I’ve oft worn those stockings of Hocking …

Art

Moral men condemn
The world’s sin.
And the devil does grin
For he knows the dark
Within their art.

A Talented Young Man Riding a Goat

A talented young man riding a goat
Said, “many a poem I have wrote
About young ladies from Ealing,
Who dance on my ceiling.
And can someone please stop this goat!
