    A penguin, departing for France
    On a ferry got ready for dance
    He donned a smart tux
    Winked at some ducks
    In the hope of starting up a romance.

    A soldier, on leave for a time,
    Wondered what he could buy for a dime
    A smoke, or a sweet,
    Or the ultimate treat...

    Wondered what he could buy for a dime
    A smoke, or a sweet,
    Or the ultimate treat...
    A pint glass of soda and lime.

    A sailor, dressed up for a party,
    Thought his frock made him look a bit tarty
    But when a Rear Admiral came by
    And gave him the eye,
    He decided the party could starty.

    A young lady from Burnham-on-Sea
    Went out on a mad shopping spree
    She fell over her trolley
    And such was her folly
    It gave us quite something to see

    Ate so much garlic each day that he stank.
    His comrades in arms
    Risked all manner of harms
    To stay on his windward flank.

    There was an Old Person whose Nose
    Provoked a whole army of foes
    "Begone with your schnozzle!"

    Resembled an Old Garden Hose

  • stetsonstetson Shipmate
    Okay, I'll do a combo...

    There was an Old Person whose Nose
    Resembled an Old Garden Hose
    Whenever he'd sneeze
    We'd all catch the breeze
    It provoked a whole army of foes

    There was a Young Person of Moscow
    Who wouldn't let Jonathon Ross go
    He finally escaped
    In bedcovers draped
    Whilst being shot at with a crossbow

    One day, in the Forest of Dean
    The Dean of the Forest was mean
    He wouldn’t pay a sou
    To go to the loo
    So he sprayed all the marigolds clean.

    The Hosts all cry *Fie!*
    When a bad word they spy
    But the poets just go and ignorum.

    Is often of doubtful decorum
    The hosts, we despair,
    And tear out our hair
    But, as BF says, let's just ignore 'em.

    There was an Old Man on a Train

    When they shook him awake
    And he had to walk back in the rain.

    He saw his mistake
    When they shook him awake
    And he realized he'd made it to Maine!

    He couldn't decide
    Which ones he should ride
    Because he’d got porridge for brains.

    If ever you're stuck for a rhyme
  • BroJamesBroJames Purgatory Host
    If ever you're stuck for a rhyme
    For chimney or orange, it’s time
    To think till you’re purple
    And your poor wits do hirple
    And abandoning words go for mime.
