21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 4

Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie

Kissed the girls but didn’t know why.

When the boys came out to play

He had more fun because he was gay

A VOYAGE ROUND MY FATHER (3)

 

My dad told me

“Susan’s going to the west of India”

So, I said “Goa?”

“Well, that’s what they say about her”

WORKING LATES AND EARLIES

 

Why is it that the boss

Is in the office bright and early

Only on those particular days

When the rest of us are tardy

But is noticeably late

On the days that we are early

SHARING

 

We shared an umbrella when we first met

When caught in an April shower

We shared our first kiss

One night in the wee small hours

We shared a passionate embrace

And made love in culmination

Then we shared a secret

After we caught an unpleasant infection

THE IT GIRL

 

I had a first date with a girl

From the I.T. suite

Who for a computer nerd

Is really very sweet

It was a disaster

Not quite but almost complete

I wish that I could have hit

COMFORT EATER

 

Through a total lack of self esteem

I eat too much to ease my despair

And food has now replaced sex for me

So, I can't even get into my own underwear

I ONCE WROTE A NOTE

 

I once wrote a note

Writ on paper, hue of oat

Not of literary note

Worth less than a groat

Full of unimportant quote

Not worthy to promote

No ego should it bloat

No means to gloat

But it got my vote

 

The note I wrote

I put in my coat

The coat that I tote

The one on which I dote

The one with stoat

About the throat

My favourite coat

Now held my note

 

But I left the coat

That housed my note

Upon a boat

“The rampant goat”

That was afloat

In a bay remote

The note, the coat,

And the boat did float

 

So where was my note?

Memorized by rote

In my favourite coat

With throat of stoat

Floating like a mote

On some distant boat

With no shelter of cote

The note, the coat,

On that blasted boat
