THE WHITE HORIZONTAL PLUME

 

The white horizontal plume

Streams in its wake

Like a long grey ribbon

As the locomotive powers on

A truly romantic image

Of the great age of steam

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 142

 

One misty, moisty, morning,

When rainy was the weather,

There I met a young man

All clothed in leather

All clothed in leather,

Fitted as tight as his skin

How do you wear it?

How do you move in it?

And what is that squeaking?

ARE YOU WEARING MOURNING CLOTHES?

 

Are you wearing mourning clothes?

Black really does look good on you

And I am very curious to know

If your underwear is black too

I HAVE MY FIVE A DAY

 

I have my five a day

Every day of the week

Just you have a peek

Two Fig Newton’s and

A banana milk shake

One chocolate orange

And a carrot cake

THE FIRE OFFICER’S INSPECTION

 

The fire officer did his inspection today

And he asked me “In the event of a fire,

Tell me what steps would you take?"

I replied "Bloody big ones" squire

I AM BLESSED WITH FRIENDS

 

I am blessed with friends

Some of them are fruity

Some are soaked in alcohol

Some of them are nutty

Some are sweet

Some add spice

Some add zest

Some smell nice

An abundance of riches

My friend’s numbers are Rife

And when mixed together

They are the fruit cake of life
