There was a young man from the city
Who said "what a beautiful kitty"!
It was not a cat
But he didn't know that
So they burned all his clothes :
What a pity!

There was an old monk in Siberia
His days they grew drearier & drearier
Till he broke from his cell
With a hell of a yell
And eloped with the Mother Superior

There was an old maid of Nicaragua
Whose back hair was bit off by a jaguar.
The maiden said ah!
But the jaguar said Bah!
What a false artificial old hag-you-are.

There was a young curate of Kidderminster
Who once with good reason died a spinster
Because on the ice
She said words that weren't nice
When he quite accidentally
Slid against her.

The pangs of hunger held him fast
As through a restaurant he passed
A youth, who seeking food to eat,
exclaimed, on seeing shredded wheat,
"Excelsior"

The wife of a prominent banker
Lay in bed as her yacht lay at anchor
But she screamed with dismay
When she heard the mate say: -
"Come boys; up with the top shut & spanker"
