    An old Aberdonian minister
    Kept a journal both lurid and sinister
    It was kept in a Box

    An old Aberdonian minister
    Kept a journal both lurid and sinister
    It was kept in a Box
    Chained up with three locks
    Contained in a kryptonite canister.

    A pretty young thing called Chantelle
    Really fancied herself as a belle
    She wore high-heeled boots
    And Savile Row suits
    And freesias in her lapel.

    It's my custom said dear Lady Norris
    To hitch rides from young men driving lorries.
    When they get down to piss
    I see things that I miss
    From the wheel of my two-seater Morris.

    There once was a person from Porlock
    Who always would tug at his forelock
    To giggling nuns
    As he ogled their buns
    So got burned at the stake as a warlock

    It upwards her bent
    Her real height it'd magically unlock.

    A lawyer of sterling repute,
    Made a habit of playing the flute!
    Whilst reading his briefs,
    Despite his beliefs,
    He'd also strum hymns on a lute!

    There was an Old Man of Hong Kong
    Who wrote quite a rather long song
    Which he soon starts to sing

    And caused us to bring

    Large bottles of gin
    To sustain us while he sang the whole night long.

    An oldie, but a goodie (like some of us on the Ship):

    There was a young fellow from Kent
    Whose too was so long that it bent
    In the middle
    Like a one-armed fiddle.
    And instead of coming, he went.

    There once was a man who said: "Truth,
    Though extolled by excitable youth,
    Is roundly ignored
    By the old and the bored
    Who find meaning in gin and vermouth."

    An ordinand, out on the lash,
    The head of a policeman did bash
    But the strength of the helmet
    Meant it wasn’t yet kismet
    The ordinand parted with plenty of cash.
