A handsom cabman said, 'Look here' To policeman who was standing near 'I've driven a gent from Regent street And he's left a baby on the seat.' 'That's all right,' said the policeman bold 'Lost property you cannot hold Go to Scotland Yard and explain the cause And if it isn't claimed - well the baby's yours. A mouse into a milkshop ran And fell into a large milk can Chock full of milk. he was nearly drowned So he did the sidestroke round and round. Do you want to know the reason why Well that mouse was far too cute to die So in the milk he swam about Churned it into butter, and then walked out. A fond papa with looks of joy Showed a candid friend his baby boy He was full of pride, as fathers are And he proudly asked, 'ain't he like his Pa?' 'Everyone says he's just like me' Then his friend replied 'yes, it's plain to see That he's got your face and he's got it pat But I shouldn't fret, he'll grow out of that.' A man received this wire one day 'Your mother-in-law has passed away' So the torment of his life had fled Then farther on the message read 'Will you please instruct, which do you prefer Shall we embalm, cremate or bury her?' So he sent them back this answer brisk 'Do all three at once please, take no risk.' |
