Pinkerty Binkerty, the inventor of cheese  
sniffed it once and immediately sneezed

Pinkerty Binkerty, the inventor of cheese  
sniffed it once and immediately sneezed  
Inspired, he had this flash of panache  
He’d add cheese to his Hungarian goulash  
But it tasted like shrimp and dead bees

While her boyfriend hid under the bed  
Nancy had sex with the man she’d just wed  
And Nancy felt sadness  
Because of her badness  
So she edited poems instead  
As I was saying, before I got drunk
