21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 246

 

John Cook was riding up

Shooter's Hill,

Pedalling fast

Pedestrians scattering to avoid being killed

ARE YOU WEARING A BUSTLE?

 

Are you wearing a bustle?

Well, who am I to condemn

I suppose everyone seems normal

Until you get to know them

MY ACUPUNCTURIST ATTACKED ME

 

My acupuncturist attacked me

When she proper lost her temper

She stabbed me with a needle

But you know, I’ve never felt better

MY FRIEND RAVED TO ME

My friend raved to me

About his orthopaedic shoe

But I think he built them up

Too much in my view 

ONE IN FOUR WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY

 

One in four women in this country

Are on meds for mental illness

So, the rest are running around

Undiagnosed more or less

I HAVE A VERY POLITE DOCTOR

 

I have a very polite doctor,

Nice to the point of folly

He won’t tell me I’m obese

He says I’m morbidly jolly

WHEN THE WINE BOX IS EMPTY

 

When the wine box is empty

I am one of the thorough types

I rip open the cardboard

To reveal the Pinots tripe’s

And squeeze it dry as I play

The alcoholics bagpipes
