Pants

-

-
A man who was very, very rich,
Nonetheless had an incurable itch,
He ripped off his pants,
And whirled in a dance,
Till he wasn't wearing a stitch.

Cezanne

-

-
A painter named Paul Cezanne,
Painted portraits of his paisan,
He made five or six,
Of these beautiful pics,
And said, "Peace be with you, my son".

Cucumber

-
-
A rector eating cucumber, burpless,
had taken home the leftover surplus,
He found with a start,
Beside his sacred-heart,
He had dropped a slice on his surplice.

Nanny

-

-
A man hired his aunt as a nanny,
He kissed her, and patted her fanny,
She knocked him flat,
She thought that was that,
Yet he insisted on upping the ante

Gentry

-
-


-
When the temperature's a hundred and twenty,
No sentry will shelter the gentry,
When a/c's go out,
It'll leave little doubt,
Sweat'll glow in the mansions of plenty.

Fulsome

-

-
He used to listen to Jethro Tull some,
And sit around and shoot the bull some,
His friends went South,
Because of his mouth,
They found him disagreeably fulsome.

Dormouse

-
-
Once there was a poor louse,
Who resembled a wee dormouse,
He often would roam,
For to find him a home,
At last settled down in an oarhouse.
