There was an old sleuth from Lesneuth
Who couldn't tell falsehood from truth
At solving a crime
He was well past his prime
In fact, far too long in the tooth

DAVID GILES
A man whom I know at St. Gennys
Invited some friends to play tennis
But before the game he
Lost his balls in the sea
And he still does not know where his pen is

ANON
There is a young maid from Penzance
Whose beauty each year does enhance
She's a charming miss
Who may give you a kiss
But much further, you don't stand a chance

ROGER WAKEFORD

A musician living at Par
Bought his wife an electric guitar
She started a band
With two drunks from Hallsand
And were known as `Three Beats to the Bar'

JEAN CHARMAN MARGARET MORGAN

A committed young feminist from Stibb
Was a supporter of gay women's lib
She thought that God's plan
Shouldn't have included man
But made much more of the rib!

S. WIGHTWICK

A Devonport diver called Purvis
Is causing concern in the Service
As he dives ever deeper
He sends up on his bleeper
"I'm not coming up, I'm too nervous"

Col. J. M. GRANT

There was an old man from Rosecare
Who hardly had any hair
He tried all sorts of potions
Shampoo, creams and lotions
But he's still got the least anywhere
