There was a very very drunk man
Who met a nun in Manhattan
He knocked her out
And said, quite proud:
"I thought ya were stronga, Batman!"

There was a man who wanted to bet
On baseball scores on the Net
'Twas quite silly
He lost all his money
You know why now he's in debt...

There is the Y2K buggey
That's driving GATES crazy
He is quite scared
That the bug, not repaired
Will blow up all his silly PC...

There was Microsoft & Marijuana
Still waiting for a new stupid buyer
At last, asked a client:
"Between them, what's different?
- Nothing. Both of them crash your system, yeah!"

There once was a girl from Great Britain
Who carelessly sat on her kitten
Imagine her surprise
And the look in her eyes
When on the behind she was bitten...

There was a young lady from Gloucester
Whose parents thought they had lost her
From the fridge came a sound
And at last she was found
The trouble was how to defrost her...

There once was a man named McKay
Who was making explosives one day
He dropped his cigar
In the gun powder jar
And that was the end of poor McKay...

There was an old man from Peru
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe
He awoke in the night
In a terrible fright
And found it was perfectly true...

Another man from Peru
Found he had nothing to do
So he sat on the stairs
Started counting his hairs
And found he had seventy-two...

There was an old woman from Kent
Whose nose was remarkably bent
One day they suppose
She followed her nose
And nobody knows where she went...

There once was an old man of Esser
Whose knowledge grew lesser and lesser
It at last grew so small
He knew nothing at all
And now he's a college professor...

There once was a boy named Tom
Who had a very big bomb
It blew in his face
He flew into space
And that was the end of poor Tom...

There once was a boy named Tom
Who swallowed a very big bomb
The doc said cough
The bomb went off
And that was the end of poor Tom...

There was a young boy called Nick
Who bought a ticket for the Titanic
The ship hit some ice
The rest wasn't nice
And now he's somewhere in the Atlantic...

A fortune-teller from Baltimore
Predicted the future of her tailor
"You'll live happy
Until 93
If you don't get hit by a truck before..."

There was a skateboarder called Mike
Who wanted to race a motorbike
What bad luck!
He ran into a truck
And that was the end of crashed Mike...

A desperate man called Ted
Wanted to make himself dead
He didn't feel fine
Called Suicide Online
"Too many people... Hang on..." they said...

There was a Granny very unlucky
Who'd tasted a disgusting toffee
She threw it in the dustbin
And noticed with a grin
That her false teeth were stuck to the toffee

There was an old Granny from Cliffheath
Who'd one day lost her false teeth
When she sat carelessly
On her favourite settee
She discovered that they were beneath...

There was a cat called Ed
Who enjoyed sleeping in his bed
One day he lay
On the highway
I quite understand why he's dead...

There was a cat called Goo
Who was covered with glue
One day, he got stuck
On the wheel of a truck
And that was the end of flat Goo...

That thing, at 80 miles/hour
Was turning with a strange colour
Some red, some green
And also some pieces of skin
Well, that was a frog in a mixer...

There was a young woman named Bright
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

An epicure dining at Crewe
Found a very large bug in his stew.
Said the waiter, "Don't shout
And wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too."
