A FOREIGN STUDENT FROM CALCUTTA # 1

A foreign student from Calcutta

Accidentally snorted curry powder

Thinking it was cocaine the silly duffer

He survived but he’s still in a Korma 

A MAN RAN SCREAMING FROM A BUILDING

 

A man ran screaming from a building

"It’s a boy, I don't believe it, it’s a boy!"

Which would have been quite touching

Had he not been running from a house of joy

Apparently, people in Dubai

Don’t understand the Flintstones

And that is the popular view        

But it’s not a cultural thing

Nor is it East versus West

As people in Abu Dhabi Do

Lost her holiday shoe:

What can little Betty do?

And she’s lost more than her shoe

ARE YOU WEARING TRAINER SOCKS?

 

Are you wearing trainer socks?

Tell me that you are Please do

Say you haven’t put an uncovered foot

Inside that sweaty training shoe

RED VELVET

 

I think a velvet suit

Especially one red hued

And I must choose my words

So not to appear rude

But it’s not the most slimming

For a rather portly dude

I WAS ONCE A MEDICAL STUDENT # 4

I was once a medical student

But they had to send me home

I thought that a “seizure”

Was an Emperor of Rome
