Long Mable Poems

Who could drink men under the table
She’d tell folks of her gout
Sup up six pints of stout  -
then stagger to the loo when able!

My Composition of Poems

Had been eating a biscuit
And admit I could not quit
Was good with butter and brown
Did swallow until it went down
Found experience to be exquisite.

Till Fred’s back got twisted,
They best stick to sleeping instead!

Ethel was mad...

The feet of twenty cousins were trampling and pounding the floor
As my Aunt Pearl's house trembled and suddenly became smaller.

Ticks imperceptibly further from tocks

Perusing the papers in yesterday's socks
One eye on the news on the old goggle box
