21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 217

Bessie Bell and Mary Gray,

They were two bonnie lasses:

They built their house upon the lea,

And were visited by flashers 

ARE YOU WEARING IT FOR THE CRAIC?

 

Are you wearing it for the craic?

Surely the convent will want it back

It’s your habit? Well, that’s a twister

Get away with you, you’re never a sister

Well, I say you’re too lovely to be a nun

But if I’m wrong, I’ll be getting none

PUT DOWN # 51

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

If he starts spinning you a line

Say to him if boredom persists

"The fact that no one understands you

Doesn’t mean that you're an artist."

THE WORLD HAS BECOME A SMALLER PLACE

 

The world has become a smaller place

And it will never be a big world again

But wherever you go things are the same

I wish I could uninvent the Aeroplane

SENT TO THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE

 

When I used to be sent to the headmaster’s office

I knew that the punishment would never be as bad

As having the ignominy of going and explaining my

Behaviour to my disappointed mum and dad

The internet can be a curse and not a blessing

For example, the gambling sites on the net

Where eager Gamblers don’t even need

To put on a shirt in order to lose it on a bet

EIDOTHEA

 

Sea-nymph Eidothea,

Gifted with prophecy

Daughter of Proteus

The shape-shifting sea God
