There was a young lady from Ealing
who hung upside down from the ceiling
She dressed really random
whilst riding a tandem
singing opera with consummate feeling

Bruno was really very pleased with his new SUV.
It wasn’t the precise colour he’d wanted, but the layout was superb, and the extras far surpassed any other make.
It was the first car to be fitted with a bathroom.
Bruno could now answer the age old question with “No, in the car!”

There was a young lady from Brent
whose leg was incredibly bent
she walked with a crutch
but it didn’t do much
she invariably came as she went

They had been at it for hours!
They didn’t seem to mind who heard them, and, in the glare of the lights, who saw them!
She’d never heard such grunting and groaning. It was all rather embarrassing!
Tomorrow she will adjust the security lights so they are not triggered by hedgehogs!

Earwigs make marvelous Mums
have pincers on the end of their tums
with 2000 species
and real smelly faeces
it’s best to stay clear of their bums!

Simon forced his eyelids apart, licked his dry lips, and looked down, with a sigh, at his wallet, now devoid of cash!
The last thing he remembered was staggering out of the club.
He looked up, and could see, immediately, that he and the Beetle had an identical problem.
Piston broke!

If you have to explain a joke, it ceases to be a joke, but I’ll risk that.
In British English:
“Pissed” does not mean “very annoyed”, but it does mean “drunk”.
“Broke” means “having completely run out of money”.
There, one joke ruined, just like the piston!

A quail who had wobbly legs
produced most malodorous eggs
They sold fairly well
in spite of the smell
and came with a free pair of pegs

A walrus of gigantic size
was also incredibly wise
It hardly surprises
she won lots of prizes
but worried about her large thighs

An X ray of Susan the spider
showed hundreds of apples inside her
Her doctor said hey
we can cure you today
As a bonus we’ll make lots of cider
(Susan is a VERY big spider, and features today because X is rather difficult when it comes to animals, insects, and arachnids.)
