You’ve probably heard of Aunt Bea  
Who made lemonade out of her pee  
The whole town did thought  
It was the best lemonade they bought  
Until they all ended up with V.D.  
Miss Annie worked down by the dock…

A dentist’s apprentice named Smithers  
Caught a pre-coital case of the dithers  
With endurance to gain  
Shot his tool with procaine  
Now his pecker just droops there and withers.

There was a young man from Cape Cod  
Whose friends were quite easily awed  
So they ferried to Siasconset  
For a rave 'mongst the wan-set  
They all mooched 'til our Goth blew his wad  
A fey terrier named Proserpina

Jesus **Cid** , not making it easy on us anymore eh? 😉

A fey terrier named Proserpina  
Had an outsized red rocket wein-ah  
From the yard to the pound

so the dog never kept it clean-ah.

The once was a farmer called Ted…  
And to his own cousin was he wed  
The kids that they had  
Turned out pretty bad  
All three attached at the head.

Damn, got beat to it… oh well…

A comely young lady from Gloucester  
Desired to become a jouster  
She parried and thrusted  
Til her corset she busted  
And her bosom came falling all ouster.

There once was a large hairy bear  
Who felt shy 'cause his derriere  
Could never toot loud  
Except in a crowd:  
Bear farts aren’t real with no others there.

There once was a stand up comedian  
Whose jokes tended toward the quotidian  
He said “take my wife please”  
But this one drunken sleaze  
Tried to show her his trumpet of Gideon.

A mail carrier once went berserk…

There once was a stand-up comedian  
Who played a big gig in a seedy inn.  
The gig went so bad  
He ran out, raving mad  
And got run over on the highway median.

A man once went very postal…

A mail carrier once went berserk,  
Due to stresses encountered at work  
He vented his spleen  
Kicked a sorting machine  
Now his foot’s gone by air to Grand Turk.

There once was an aeroplane pilot,  
Who’d spy on the john’s through an eyelet,  
A lady who poked out his retna  
was removed by security in New Gretna,  
And now resides in Guantanimo, I bet.

There once was an aeroplane pilot,  
who was schtupping a stew name of violet.  
in the head they did screw  
while the first mate and crew  
passed out drinks and watched through the eyelet.  
Twas a young shooter named Willie…
