The Black Cat Wet In the White Cat’s Eye
“OH” Said the Black Cat
“Do You Want Some More”?
“NO” Said the White Cat
“My Eye is Too Sore”
There was a young man from the Clyde,
who fell down a sewer and died,
his brother, they tell,
fell down one as well,
and now they’re interred side by side!
There once was a man from Woonsocket
Who had a large hole in each pocket.
He stuck in his hands
And fondled his glands,
And said,“Till you’ve tried it, don’t knock it!”
The Big Dripper.
In a valley remote lived a fluter of note
And his drive caused the session to fly
But robust exhalation promotes condensation
…and his neighbour was never quite dry.
Phonetic fun! Prayer book=missal, but “dismissal” wouldn’t have been punny.
Got curious and did a web search. The only ref. to “mistle” I could find was “Mistle Thrush” (a British bird previously unknown to me) and “Mistletoe.”
As a recovering Baptist and confessed epistolarian, I’m highly unlikely to become a nun.
To a weepy young woman from Thrums,
Her beau remarked “This is what comes
Of allowing your tears
To fall into my ears:
I fear they have rotted the drums.”
----Edward Gorey
A crusty old whistler named Bloo
Said, “Friends! (and Nano, you too)
Last night I did find
A thought in my mind:
Under the sun, [u]there is nothing noo[/u].”
Pa followed the pair to Pawtucket.
(The man, and the girl with the bucket.)
Pa said to the man,
“You are welcome to Nan,”
But as for the bucket, Pa tuck’it.
Ok…one more along that line, from the Anthony Newley musical
Stop the World I Want to Get Off:
There once was a girl from Nantucket,
Who got her head stuck in a bucket.
People started to say,
“You look better that way.”
She said, “So does Nantucket, so…forget it.”
I think this is to the tune of The Irish Washerwoman:
Finnegan’s dead and his brother don’t know it.
His brother is dead and Finnegan don’t know it.
They’re both of them dead and they’re in the same bed,
And neither one knows that the other is dead.
