    St. Peter, while manning the gates
    Said "Here, I don't get many dates
    For all of the hotties
    Are souls without bodies
    And I end up like Billy No-Mates

    There once was a lady from Wrexham
    Who asked a young stud "Can ya flex 'em?"
    He said, ‘Yes, I can
    ‘Because I’m man.’
    She said, ‘Don’t like men so I hex ‘em!’

    St. Peter, while manning the gates,
    Had a beer and a chat with his mates
    Their eyes were averted
    From the poor unconverted
    Who slipped past, improving their fates

    And he had to resort to a spell.

    There once was in the eye of the beholder
    A beautiful plank that got bolder
    Then the Lord came along
    And the eye was among
    The parabels in Matt's scripture folder.

    Mixed his eyes with some figs
    Throwing them into the sty.

    Said the witch to young Hansel And Gretel
    Are there more of you, or have I met all
    For my oven fits two
    Which will probably do
    Or I'll have to plug in my new kettle.

    There once was, away with the fairies,
    A young man who worked in the dairies
    Cow's milk laced with gin
    Goat cheese with weed in
    He got sacked and now works in libraries.

    In the town, now a city, Dunfermline
    Sat the Lord Mayor, all dressed up in ermine
    But the weight of his chain
    Sucked air from his brain
    Which impressed all the rabble and vermin.
