A certain young gourmet of Crediton
Took some paté de foie gras and spread it on
A chocolate biscuit,
Then murmured, "I'll risk it."
His tomb bears the date that he said it on.
In New Orleans dwelled a young Creole
Who, when asked if her hair was all reole,
Replied with a shrug,
"Just give it a tug
And decide by the way that I squeole."
There was an old sailor of Crete,
Whose peg-legs propelled him quite neat.
"Strong liquor," he said,
"Never goes to my head,
And I know it can't go to my feet."
There was a young lady of Crete,
Who dreamed that she danced in the street.
Although it did seem
A peculiar dream,
There was mud on the soles of her feet.
There was an old fellow from Croydon,
Whose cook was a cute little hoyden.
She would sit on his knees
While shelling the peas,
Or pleasanter duties employed on.
To a newsgroup for rhymers I cruised,
Whilst the rest of my family snoozed.
Now it's here I'll deposit
The rhymes from my closet,
In hopes that you'll all be amused.
A young man who was self isolating
Thought he'd score with internet dating.
He dropped the idea,
When it became very clear,
It would be a long wait for the mating
Either…
A fanatic gun-lover named Crust
Was perverse to the point of disgust.
His idea of a peach
Had a sixteen-inch breech
And a pearl-handled .44 bust.
Or…
A fanatic gun-lover named Crust
Was perverse to the point of disgust.
His choice to despoil
Had zero recoil,
And a .44 magnum plus bust.
"Damn! Why are you naked?" he cursed.
"For my birthday… it's my sixty-first…
I thought I'd look cute
In a real birthday suit."
"Well, next time, please iron it first!"
What led to the crassness of Custer,
With hardly a unit to muster?
At the little Big Horn,
Sitting Bull gave a yawn,
And said, "You're a sitting duck, buster!"
A cute secretary, none cuter,
Was replaced by a clicking computer.
'Twas the wife of the boss
Who put this deal across,
You see, the computer was neuter.
A bunny just left, a real cutey,
Now another thing comes seeking booty.
Red fire in its eyes,
Dripping fangs of great size,
Quick, Igor! A stake! Do your duty!
There once was a young man named Cyril,
Who was kissed in a wood by a squirrel,
And he liked it so good
That he stayed in the wood
Just as long as the squirrel stayed virile.
