A young antique dealer from Truro
Bought an old second-hand bureau;
It was his lucky day
Because deep, tucked away
At the back, he found one thousand Euro.

There once was a tenant from Dent
Who's nose was all battered and bent;
His Landlord was mad
And he felt rather glad
He'd attacked him for missing his rent.

There once was a man from Bengal
Who built a ten metre high wall;
His neighbours complained
That their views had been stained
And it all ended up in a brawl.

There was a musician from Delhi
His favourite composer? - Corelli;
It wasn't Sitar
But in every bar
There was music to tickle your belly.

There once was a skiver from Perth
Completely bone-idle from birth;
He said, 'I'm a singer,
I'll lift not a finger'
And he milked it for all he was worth.

An obsessive young fencer named Barry
Strongly felt the desire to marry;
But his poor wife to be
Was feeling that she
Couldn't handle the thrust and the parry.

There was a mad artist named Ben
Who painted a pretty white hen;
Then o'er it he pored
And, seemingly bored,
Proceeded to paint it again.

There once was an old man from Leeds
Who couldn't stop pulling up weeds;
'Til he made a mistake
When he stood on his rake
Now whenever he bends his nose bleeds.

There once was a silly old Colonel
Who read in an old battered journal,
That to keep warm in Wales
Keep out of the gales,
And make sure your undies are thermal.

There was an old actor from Bali
Who dreamt up, for his grand finale,
A thespian deed
That only succeeded
In making him look a real Charlie.
