  • As I gobble my breakfast-time porridge
    Freshly garnished (like Pimms) with some borage
    I look at my spurtle
    Call up my friend Myrtle
    And look forward to a Wednesday in Norwich.

    While crossing the Pentland to Orkney
    A wee dog came along to accompany
    As he trotted along
    He burst out in song
    So I gave him a freshly-cooked pork knee.


    @Miffy - would you maybe start the next one?

    I needed three fillings :flushed:

    I needed three fillings.
    And that will mean billings.
    So, will I be able to pay?

    I'd rather spend money on beer.

    I'd rather spend money on beer.
    And I really don't want to be here
    But my teeth have been drilled
    and they haven't been filled
    So leaving's not my best idea.

    So my teeth may glow like clean chalk,
    But I cannot handle or walk,
    Whilst my choppers may dazzle
    I’m skint and I’m frazzled
    And my tongue doesn't move when I talk.

    We've had quite enough about teeth

    We've had quite enough about teeth
    So let me tell you about Keith
    Went to the chiropodist
    Now has feet which are copper disks
    And the price, it was beyond belief!
  • The chiropodist’s cat slept in all day
    It’s fur was long, mottled, white and grey

    The chiropodist’s cat slept in all day
    It’s fur was long, mottled, white and grey.
    Well trimmed were its claws,
    Exquisite, its paws,
    And for that, it had nothing to pay.

    The patients complained
    My feet are in pain
    And I can't hear the foot doctor's words!

    It might have worked better with a change to the last line (I've remembered the squiggly line this time) -

    *I'm not eatin' that!
  • EnochEnoch Shipmate
    One can say "I'm not eating that.
    It looks like road kill or splat,
    Like slush, mud or mess
    Or what could one guess?
    Has it been brought up by the cat?"

    At Boughton, a mansion near Kettering ....

  • I’m too old and creaky to camp,
    In the cold and the wet and the damp,
    If I've to sleep on an air-bed,
    I just shiver in dread,
    That I'll wake up immobile with cramp.

    You think you're a fish in the Wye.

    While strolling the banks of the Sound,
    Helen thought she had found
    The stream that she'd missed
    Because she was pissed.
    Tried to leap it with one single bound......

    As each day drew into night
    And the many nights turned back to light
    Her clothes she did sew
    Together. No more woe
    For she now has a fantastic kite!
