I have always enjoyed the wit & fun of these little poems & I suddenly thought I bet you forumites might know some good ones or even compose one or two for our entertainment.
Here's one to start with.....
Quoth a comely young lady from Norway
As she hung by her heels in a doorway,
"Although I'm proficient
In arts concupiscent
Thank God, I've discovered one more way."
I think it was collected (or written) by Ray Allen Billington
"The beautiful is as useful as the useful...perhaps more so."
from Les Miserables

There was a young man called Bob
Who landed himself with a job.
He said ' I'm more than willing
To work for a shilling'
They said 'No Bob, next weeks Bob-a-job'.
