There was a strange man from Tibet
Who had an unusual pet;
It's front was dog
It's back was a frog
And, it was lightning at playing 'go, get'.

There was an odd fellow named Fred
Who dreamt he had died and was dead;
And as strange as it seems
He was killed in his dreams
By his father, who'd 'gone on ahead'.

There once was a man from Goose Green
Who came home knowing not where he'd been;
The gig he'd attended
Had mixed up and blended
His brain - if you know what I mean.

A Dog, A Cat
A dog, a cat, a bird, a bat,
They all lived in a sailors hat;
One day he said 'I'll throw you out, '
He did, they fell
Split splat, split splat.

There once was a sailor from York,
Who never would eat with a fork,
Then he changed his whole life
When he slipped with a knife
Now his eyes are as sharp as a hawk.

There was a fine lady from Chester
Who's husband, with gems, did invest her;
But he'd stolen the loot
And did not give a hoot
'Til along came the cops to arrest her.

There once was a man from Hong Kong
Who spoke in a very strange tongue;
He was no use at all
'Til he spat out the ball
That he'd swallowed while playing Ping-Pong.

A naughty young pupil from Rye
After punishment, started to cry
But it wasn't the cane
That caused him the pain
Just the very tight knot in his tie.

There once was a man from Rangoon
Who played, in the late afternoon,
On his battered guitar
In the conservatoire
With a wish that it was a bassoon.

There was a thin conjuror from Limerick
In the whole of all Ireland, no slimmer-mick;
He said to his wife,
'In all of my life
I've never performed such a dimmer-trick.'
