Too Many Mixed Up Cans

Benican said he could,
Jerrican was quite full,
Pellican catch a fish,
Jellican wobble in a dish,
Daisican grow a flower,
Wellican provide a shower,
Barbican cut your hair, 
Terrican eat a pear,
Jonican throw a lance,
Cancan is an exciting dance,
Billican boil some tea,
Would you sit and have some with me,
..............can you?................

G'day John... quite amusing John and original. A friend of mine and I once contemplated writing a poem about a place called buggery. Hot as buggery, wet as buggery; high as buggery etc. We didn't get around to it but you might. Thank you John - Lindsay

Hello Lindsay, This was experimental poetry. I wasn't too sure how it would go down. It looks like it might work. I will take your thoughts on board but only if you're absolutely sure you don.t want to do it yourself. Thanks Lindsay-John
