A young man who liked to rock boats
In order to get people's goats
Gave just one more rock
Then suffered a shock
A bubble the spot now denotes.

There was a Young Lady of Parma,
Whose conduct grew calmer and calmer;
When they said, 'Are you dumb?'
She merely said, 'Hum!'
That provoking Young Lady of Parma.

I was driving to work the day shift
when some guy asks 'Give me a lift? '
I said, 'Sure, I'll try...
You're a smart, handsome guy! '
Now why in the world was he miffed?

Short Mary did drink one hot beer
And thought her destruction was near.
She drank wine then thought
To read, write she God taught,
Then champagne and ne`er was her head clear.

and whenever he saw a mechanicah
with a sweet ride,

'On this stone we mourn his loss.
He's at peace beneath this moss.
and don't be worried
because he's buried
six down and three across'

Jack knitted a new pair of socks
In the deep red colour of hollyhocks
His friends formed a queue
They wanted some too
But Jack fell ill with chickenpox.

There was an Ol Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
But he cried, 'With a needle,
I'll slay you, O beadle!'
That angry Old Man of Quebec.

A President with far-reaching powers
Loved jogging in sunshine and showers
Whilst still in his prime
He made sure that he'd time
To stop and to smell all the Flowers.

Was krushed like a kar in a krashian.
Her Kris kried, "Not fair!
Why kan't I keep my share?"
But Kardashian fell klean outa fashian.
