A man once went fishing for skate
With a knife and a fork and a plate,
Sense should have prevailed-
He abysmally failed

A man once went fishing for skate With a knife and a fork and a plate The skate swam off giggling The man started wriggling Then had to de-louse his cat, Kate. apologies to anyone with a cat called Kate. I'm sure she is entirely louse-free!  |

Things can only get worse,
As I said to the nurse

I was sitting one day counting money,
When I suddenly thought: "Coo, that's funny..."

Where has the English summer gone?
In olden days the sun did shon
Or shine, through every shower -
They happened each and every hour -
(there's no way this can be a Limerick, or even a Limick! Limericks are in a triple-time metre...)

Where has the English summer gone?
In olden days the sun did shon
Or shine, through every shower -
They happened each and every hour -
And were painted by Augustus John
But Augustus John felt great foreboding*
When his sister, Gwen, shacked up with Rodin
Pronounce it as though you were French
