Pardon me for butting in here, but that last rhyme - a tough one, and not entirely successfully overcome, I trust you won't mind me saying - reminded me of trying to compose a limerick using my surnam - er, I mean MY FRIEND'S surname - Killingworth.
The best I could come up with was:
There once was a gardener called Killingworth
and he was forever tilling earth...
Sorry, Delph - back to yours:
She downed it in one...

After MadK's remarks on my imperfect rhyming, I am sorely tempted to start the next one with "There once was a poor little orange".
But I'll be nice. On with the next:

Sorry, D.O., didn't mean it as harshly as it sounded. Any more rhymes for Killingworth? I thought maybe "thrilling girth" (you wanna see the size of me, I mean my friend).
