She was thrashing about in the waves
which is not how a lady behaves
but she cared not a hoot

which is not how a lady behaves
but she cared not a hoot
in her birthday suit
as she fled from the closest of shaves.

Now, this lass was as chaste as could be

Now, this lass was as chaste as could be,
even though her past loves numbered three.

So once bitten, now shy

She let chances pass by

she let chances pass by
and died friendless at seventy three.


But wait - here’s a cheerier story

But wait - here’s a cheerier story,
that's not in the slightest bit gory.
No-one got killed

In fact, dozens were thrilled

In fact, dozens were thrilled
so nobody raised a furore.

She waited for Buddy,
who turned up all ruddy,
for she was his bella amore.

Whilst strolling one day in a glade,
recalling what mother forbade.
I came on a nude

recalling what mother forbade
I came on a nude
with a coy attitude
and decided to go to his aid.

He was struggling with ladders and ropes

He was struggling with ladders and ropes,
since early childhood he had such high hopes.

since childhood he'd had such high hopes (sorry, I altered it to make it scan)
But now he was stuck

Now he’s one of life’s great misanthropes.


He asked – have you got any cheese?

and the smell would make elephants sneeze.
