The old town clock said five to eight
and I'm here waiting for my lovely mate
he is a bit late
but I willl wait
then we will go on our planned date

There once was a lady from Hants.

There once was a lady from Hants.
Who was known for her very long rants,
She would go on for an age,
Would just rant bawl and rage,
And would send everyone off in a daze,

When Alice said i think its time to open up this box

When Alice said i think its time to open up this box
she asked Pandora if she thought inside were some Phlox
they hovered around
not making a sound
then decided to throw it out with some meat for the fox


In a glen not too far away

In a glen not too far away,
Where the Fairies and Pixies play,
Its rumoured to be true,
That when the Summers all but through,
They gather nuts and berries,
And make a potent brew,

Tanooma had a bicycle and kept in in her shed

Tanooma had a bicycle and kept in in her shed
she tucked it up at night into it's own little bed
In the daytime she got to ride it
on the lovely saddle she'd sit
in the evenings she'd tuck it up then go to get fed

One day in science the teacher said to me

Thought I'd pop in and say I enjoy reading all these so much
even though I can't write them. They sound like such fun.

One day in science the teacher said to me

One day in science the teacher said to me

One day in science the teacher said to me,
Today were going to open Rats, and have an Autopsy,
We will learn about Biology ,and just what makes us tick,
I said you open up a rat, and i think i will be sick,
She did the deed, and opened it, and how the smell was vile,
She took out all the rats insides, and made a little pile,

In deepest darkest Africa, lives a creature called a Thud,

*Very good Captain*


In deepest darkest Africa, lives a creature called a Thud,
he has four great big legs and is covered all in mud
his fur is blue and his eyes are green
infact the ugliest creature we've seen
but we saw he was lonely so we called him lovely Bud


Putting on the washer I heard a noise

Putting on the washer I heard a noise,
So i clubbed it with my hammer one of lifes Joys,
It spluttered and shook and started to rumble,
Shaking up the washing as it whirred around and tumbled,
Then with a bang the poor washer Died ,
So i beat it with my Hammer and threw the pieces outside,

Little Joe was bow legged, and his Sister was knock kneed,
