I am a dog.
And you are a flower.
I lift my leg up.
And give you a shower!

An elderly man called Keith,
Mislaid his set of false teeth.

But it keeps them on the knife!

She fell into the sink.
She fell into the raspberry jam,
And came out pink!

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
God made me pretty.
What happened to you!
The Young Lady of Kent
There was a young lady of Kent,
Whose nose was most awfully bent.
She followed her nose,
One day, I suppose,
And no one knows which way she went.

Who loved to play in the rain.
One day he tripped,
And broke his hip.
Now he is in serious pain.
