No pease porridge for me if you please
neither hot nor cold
especially not if what's in the pot
is nine days old
for when in Parma Palermo or Pisa
(no pottage slop)
I'm predisposed and have the propensity
to pour a potent potable
(pink plonk)
and prefer to partake of a piece of pepperoni pizza
with pancetta pomodoro peperoncini
porcini plus a peck of pecorino on the top
even the penchant for a piccante prosciutto panini
or pass me a plate of penne puttanesca
with the proclivity for a platter of pinoli pesto
possibly pasta with parmesan
and I'm pleased to wine and dine al fresco

To go to Palermo,
I should take the train,
It seems to me, Miss
It won’t take as long with you.
With you miss
It would be shorter,
I would see the beautiful Sicily,
See it, under the flowers of your smiles.
To go to Palermo,
We must not have worries,
That’s why, Miss,
That I will surely kiss you
Like a gentle olive.
Pour aller à Palerme,
Il me faut prendre le train,
Il me semble mademoiselle
Qu'avec vous, ce sera moins long.
Avec vous mademoiselle
Ce serait moins long,
Je verrais la belle Sicile
Sous les fleurs de vos sourires.
Pour aller à Palerme,
Il ne faut pas avoir de soucis,
C'est pour ça mademoiselle
Que je vous embrasserai
Comme une gentille olive.

TED
A cheating farmer called Teddy McClure
Thought that his wife knew but he wasn't sure
Oh boy she knew alright
Cos when he took a bite
Of his sandwich it contained pig manure...
AMY
A flat chested girl called Amy Sparrow
Went for a boob job down in Palermo
Now cant keep her back straight
Because of the dead weight
And she now has to use a wheelbarrow...
FLYING HERD
Have you ever thought what if cows could fly
Imagine ducking as a herd flew by
You'd have to wear a hard hat
Or risk being hit by a pat
And goggles in case you're hit in the eye...
THE LOVERS
Two lovers went in the woods all alone
Lots of oohing and aahing and a moan
They're on Utube on show
And what they didn't know
Someone filmed them from above with a drone...
FRED DYER
Did you hear about poor Freddie Dyer
Fell and mangled his manhood on barbed wire
His bits they couldn't save
But opera fans rave
His falsetto singing in the choir...
