72 Miles From The Sea

Wednesday, 5 October 2022

The devil landed on the church roof

The vicar said “Show him your cross”

So, the curate went outside and shouted

“Piss off you red horned piece of dross”

Mary had a little lamb

The sweetest lamb devised

But when all said and done

The midwife was surprised

Are you wearing a pith helmet?

Oh, the great white hunter yet

But that’s just a pose you strike

Great white tin opener more like

Are you wearing a Halloween Jumper?

Well, its contents are rather bumper

The skeleton motive I should mention

Is not needed to attract my attention

If the mountains of the world

Were to be put to the test

The most intelligent one

Would be mount cleverest

My Uncle has written an expose

It’s a real kiss and tell

About being a vet, it’s called

All creatures grunt and smell

Let me fulfil all your wishes

To shower you with kisses

But please don’t tell the Mrs
