She said, "I have tried"
"But my arms don't go that wide"
Said Larkin, "You should be wider, not leaner"

She said 'no I can't'
But I can squash an ant

In France, Hippos don't explode

Errrrr....

At which news, Larkin became even keener...

In France, Hippos don't explode

Not surprising, it aint their abode

but where they blow up

Observers throw up

And reach for their favourite commode

It's easy, you know, to lose track

When you keep all your pigs in a sack

What day of the week

did you last hear them squeak?

If they're broken, you should take them back...







A whimsical young badger named Rodger

Met up with a dirty old codger

They went out for lunch

Of bananas and punch

Which was served in the room of their lodger

I've met some strange men in my time

Some past it, but some in their prime

but none stranger than Peet

("I thank you...")

For, to me it's a feat
To be better than him at rhyming.
