1.
There was a young man of Bengal
Who went to a fancy dress ball.
He decided to risk it
And went as a biscuit,
But a dog ate him up in the hall.
2.
There was an old maiden from Fife,
Who had never been kissed in her life;
Along came a cat,
So she said, “I’ll kiss that!”
But the cat answered, “Not on your life!”
3.
There was a dog-lover from Cork,
Who was taking his dog for a walk.
As it lifted its leg
He cried, “No, no, I beg.
Just think how the people will talk.
4.
I sat next to the duchess at tea,
It was just as I feared it would be.
Her rumblings abdominal
Were simply phenomenal.
And everyone thought it was me!
5.
An amoeba named Sam, and his brother,
Were having a drink with each other;
In the midst of their quaffing
They split their sides laughing
And each of them now is a mother.
