72 Miles From The Sea

Sunday, 19 February 2023

Jack and Jill went up the hill

But not for a pale of water

Because they went up the hill

To do what they shouldn’t oughta

Are you wearing a little black dress?

In the coco channel style to impress

Even though it’s a very classic gown

You look more like Coco the clown

Hansel and Gretel’s little trips

Were always exceedingly fruitful

Because once deep in the woods

They became Handsy and Grateful

I went into hospital for minor surgery

And the anaesthetist thought he was funny

When the nurse dropped my notes he said

“Don’t lose them, we may need them at autopsy”

Apparently one in three kids

Are conceived in an IKEA bed

But thankfully two out of three

Wait until they get home instead

Teenagers are like Cavemen

With their inappropriate rubbing

Personal hygiene, table manners

And their penchant for clubbing

When they are stepped on

Their behaviour is quite benign

The Grapes never say a word

But they do give a little whine
