There was a young man from Japan
who wrote verses that never would scan.
When told this was so,
he replied, "yes I know,"
"but I always try to get as many words into the last line as ever I possible can"
There was an old man from Dundee
who was stung on the nose by a wasp
When asked, "does it hurt?"
he replied, "no it doesn't,"
"but I'm thankful it wasn't a hornet".
There was a young lady from Bude
Who went for a swim in the lake,
When a man in a punt
Stuck his pole in the water,
And said, "You can't swim here, it's unhygienic."
