HANGING ABOUT!

There was a beginner called Paul

Who decided to climb up a wall

He found as he swung

That he dithered and hung

And he just didn't like it at all!

So he cried out 'I just cannot bear

Being dangled way up in the air!'

Then he started to yelp

'Please give me some help!

I'd climb down but I simply don't dare!'

So his partner, a fellow called Fred

Yelled out 'Please don't fall on my head!

I'm certain you will

For you haven't much skill,

And the crashing is something I dread.'

But Paul said 'I can't take much more'

And they both ended up on the floor!

A Steep Drop!

And a Full Stop!

WHAT THE BUTLER SAW

There once was a Butler called Bertie

Who couldn't stand anything dirty.

If he saw a smudge

He'd be bearing a grudge

From lunch-time till after eight thirty.

He'd use his spy glass, ascertaining

Which small speck of dust was remaining,

His back grew quite bent

For wherever he went

He was always intent on complaining.
