Nonsense Verse

SING SANG SONG
(a tribute to Spike Milligan)

At the sing sang song
Where the words go wrong
And the audience all go BOO!
There’s a song sang sing
It’s a teacher’s thing
Where they all go jibber jabber joo
At the song sing sang
All the students bang
On the piano, till spanked blue
So its sing sang song
Words go wrong
Song sang sing
Teacher’s thing
Song sing sang
Students bang
A raucous squeal of a song
It’s the sing sang sing sang song!


THE SAD DEMISE OF THE VEGETABLE

I lost my head the lettuce said
A bounteous mop of green
And someone even spilled
An agitated string of beans
Then Potato lost an eye
And Corn Cob lost an ear
A pink and sentimental onion
Shed a lonesome tear
A mushy heart of artichoke
Welled up with such compassion
A hand of bananas was chopped off
In such a ruthless fashion
No rib of celery was spared
No neck of squash released
And sad to say, this was the way
The vegetables deceased.
