There Once Was A Librarian Called Grumpy

There Once Was A Librarian Called Grumpy

There once was a librarian called Grumpy
Whose favourite singer was Bumpy
He said I've heard 'Truths And Tights'
Over many long nights
And also the one 'Water Pumpie'.

Peter L Simons - January 2006

I nearly alway spell Johnny Osbourne incorrectly.

I am currently working on a fragment that begins

There once was a poet named Jah Reel
Who was oft mistaken for John Peel
One day at Glastonbury ...

I must get back to work now that the boss is back from lunch, but before I do...


There is a fine writer called Reel
and some squeal that he has no appeal
and yet they post as him
on noticeboards passim
and their real moniker they conceal

The bulk of ex-baffers are Brits,
Consider themselves sparkling wits,
But as I read postings,
Defamings and roastings,
The Sierra board gives me the creeps.

I reckon its easy to post on this thread when your name is Stamina! and nothing rhymes with it :-)

Respect

Baldy (henceforward to be known as 'orange')

There one was a poster called "Stamina!"
Whose favourite meal was ham in a
Sesame seed bun
And to add to the fun
Eaten listening to "Girl from Ipanema"

Flamen, Flamina

There was a young yankee named Stamina
Who set himself up as an examiner
Of the feeble wits
Of the ex-Baffer Brits
But his own wit was as thin as a lamina

(Poetic licence, purely, my dear chap. Nothing personal intended by that last line. In fact enjoyed your squib immensely).
