ADOPT A WILD CAT

 

They want me to adopt a wild cat

Which is quite absurd

Where on earth am I going to keep

A fully-grown Leopard?

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 154

 

I love sixpence, jolly, jolly, sixpence,

I love sixpence as my life.

Well I don’t actually because it’s only worth 2 ½ p

And what can you buy with that?

ARE YOU WEARING MAKE UP?

 

Are you wearing make up?

You don’t usually wear a scrap

Well, you look prettier than ever

Are you going to meet a chap?

You’re not meeting a beau?

What, no one has set their cap?

But there is someone you like

Someone you’d like to entrap

Well, whoever he might be

He is definitely a lucky chap

Too be caught by one as lovely as you

In sweet loves tender trap

My you have a glint in your eye

Why are you climbing on my lap?

What are you doing to my ear?

Should we just slow down perhaps

It’s hard to concentrate when you do that

So please let me just recap

Am I right in assuming by your behaviour?

That I’m the lucky chap

WEST OF KINTYRE # 3

 

On the Mull of Kintyre

I stood atop the steep cliffs

On a day so crisp and clear

And looked out towards the west

Where it was possible to make out

Malin Head in Donegal

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"

OPULENCE

 

He was opulence itself

With his lavish display

Of wealth and affluence

By means quite ample,

His riches clearly abundant

To put it another way

And to use the vernacular

He was totally Minted
