EAST OF KINTYRE

On the Mull of Kintyre

I stood atop the steep cliffs

On a day so crisp and clear

And looked out towards the east

And it was possible to see

The mystical Ailsa Craig

And the Ayrshire coast beyond 

ARE YOU WEARING A ONESIE? # 2

 

Are you wearing a onesie?

I didn’t know you were the type

But you have surprised me

And yes I like the tiger stripe

It’s rather a shapeless thing

Am I being picky and choosy?

To be honest I don’t like it

But I’d like to see your twosie

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 298

 

Taffy was a Welshman,

Taffy was a thief;

Taffy came to my house

And stole a piece of beef.

I should mention in the interest

Of political correctness

That not all Welshmen

Are called taffy

And not all Welshmen

Are thieves or indeed

Have a liking for someone else’s beef.

But this particular Welshman

In the 18th Century Nursery Rhyme

Was indeed called taffy

And he was a thieving bastard

 

“Taffy was a Welshman was an actual nursery rhyme

Popularised in the 18th Century, so don’t blame me”

YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

 

“You can’t take it with you”

That’s what they say

But at the end of the day

A Will is a dead giveaway

A BICYCLE COULDN'T STAND UP

 

A bicycle couldn't stand up

Alone it transpired

Because after a cycle

It was obviously two tired

WHEN I LIVED IN MELBOURNE

 

When I lived in Melbourne

I often used to wonder

Why the Local Area Network

Wasn’t called The LAN down under

COULD I TRY ON THAT PRETTY DRESS

“Could I try on that pretty dress

In the window?” she asked him

He replied “well I would prefer

That you used a cubicle madam”
