I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you, anyhow,

I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

The bear met Algy.
The bear was bulgy.
The bulge was Algy.

Autumn leaves are falling down
Some are red, some are brown
Watch them twisting, twirling down
Laying rustling, on the ground.

To the lonely sea and the sky,
I left my vest ans socks there,
I wonder if they're dry ?

upon his favourite filly,

I've done so all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

What will you have
Said the waiter stood picking his nose
I'll have hard boiled you SOB
You can't get your fingers in those

Hey diddle diddle the cat did a piddle
All over the kitchen floor
The little dog laughed to see such fun
So the cat did a little bit more

Twas in the Month of Liverpool
In the City of July
The rain was snowing heavily

The life that I have
Is all that I have
Is yours.

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light

On CB some Bliss to share,
I met ABEd who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd stay away.......x

The elephant is a bonny bird
It flits from bough to bough
It lays it's eggs in rhubarb trees
and whistles like a cow.
