72 Miles From The Sea

The Chinese don’t want visitors to know

They are being spied on in Beijing

That why the Chinese government

Changed the city’s name from Peking

They said they had poppers at the party

But no evidence of them could be seen

There was no strands of confetti anywhere

And the carpets were spotlessly clean

Saturday's child

Works hard for its living,

(So clearly not a benefit scrounger)

Are you wearing a Dutch cap?

Not the contraceptive madam

A hat from Holland, I see now

That it reads “I love Amsterdam”

When asked what he did for a living

He replied furtively “I’m a spy”

When told he was dressed as a butcher

He added “I’m a mince Spy”

When Moses went to mount Olive

He bit off more than he could chew

As Moses thought it was just him

But he found Popeye was there too

You should never entertain

Lewd thoughts, whatever you do

You should close your eyes

And let them entertain you
