A Saint Bernard dog from St.Mawes
Was born with enormous great paws
His owner, named Pete
Tied rags to his feet
And used him for polishing floors

ANGELA JONES

There was a young man from Lamorna
Who reversed his new car round a corner
He hit a brick wall
Which was not hurt at all
But his poor little car was a gorner

SARAH SURGEONER

There was a young man from New Mills
Who looked rather white round the gills
He said,"Oh for lummy
I've a pain in my tummy
It must be those laxative pills"

P. M. BONNEY

There was a young man from Newquay
Who spent most of his time in the sea ,
He caught such a chill
And got terribly ill
Now he stays at home watching T.V.

M. M. BATE

A lady who'd been to the Lizard
Thought that the Lizard was wizard
She had heard that the view
Was remarkable, too-
But she couldn't see that for the blizzard

MEG BUXTON

A gardener from Morwenstow
Had an acre of grass left to mow
He slipped on his sickle
It did more than tickle
Now he's only got one little toe

SKIDS

Our `Loyal an Ancient' Saltash
Years ago lost our ferry toll cash
And now this deep funnel
Going down to the tunnel
Has slashed us this terrible gash
