The janitor locked the door to the cell
That held the silk flag and kept in the smell
Of the cowpat that was left after the departure of Daisy
Trying to open this yogurt pot is driving me crazy.

pygmy

cohort
unshaken
I love to watch a pygmy shrew and his wife
Eating fast, and living their elemental life;
Cohorts of predators may steal past
But, unshaken, the shrews continue to eat very fast.

Guillemots come in black and common and have a sqeaky voice
But the desirable Brunnich's with its white gape is the hardened twitchers choice.
With faux fur on my parka, bins and button down hems.
Id do a little jive and jig if one arrived in Pembs.

That day I forsook the elevator for the stairs
And tripped over a vicious reptile and two deckchairs.
There was a stirrup pump on the fourth floor
And a degenerate at Miriam Boznik's ever-open door.

I've never been to Hungary or to Birmingham.
I've never eaten birds nest soup or savoured red plum jam.
I've got no gas or electric on which my food to cook.
I live in a cave in Wales with my trusty shepherds crook.

That last clerihew was social realism, Roddy.
But who lives in the high Cairngorms? Somebody?
He sits aloft, sipping a cappuccino
Scouring his atlas for somewhere to put a new casino.

Mix basil with the tongues of lizzards
Boil tarragon with chicken gizzards
Raise Beelzebub in the early morn
And watch the plague of locusts swarm.

With a bloody big bang the world began
Albuquerque, Mombasa and Azerbaijan;
As merry as a grig early man danced and sang-o
Tot the penny-whistle and the drum - big bang tango.

I like to samba after I dine
On a ketchup sandwich with red wine
It's a masterly way of digesting your tea
Like using Skype instead of BT

herring
justification
I drowned the bagpipe player in a butt of malmsey wine
While the bells of St Clement's chimed nine.
The judge was a herring and the jury all fishy types,
And the only justification I gave was not being able to stand the sound of the pipes.

The Angling Times preview of the annual fishing race
Listed points for catching trout as six but only one for dace.
An interlude for food was to be between eleven and twelve fifteen
But JR Hartley had a face like a pug and thought a break obscene.

She travels on the narrow-gauge railway at Llanberi(s)
But prefers to cross a lake by ferry.

The goatherd sat all alone wishing his life away
When suddenly 7 elves appeared saying we grant you one wish today.
He'd always wanted a kipper tie but decided to go for the full kit
But as his rising sign was Taurus he ended up with bull sh*t.

There is a Crazy Frog at the side of my screen which is only a computer graphic,
And if I weren't on a sickbed I'd send it to play in the traffic,
Or burn it to a crisp on my frog grill
Or smash it on the terrazzo flooring. But I'm too ill.

Who's ringtone is horrenous and leaves me agog
I'd like to put it in an hive 'til it's swollen and dumb
And send it to Kenilworth never more toWales to come.

I swear on St David's head in tones arrogant and fierce
I have never read about Dido and Aeneas.

Well I'm not vomiting with shame, I'm glad.

Beside the harbour, watchin' them unload cargo,
I sat on the beach and started to strum
The ol' guitar and took a swig of high-class rum.
