The Fishing Bridge

THE FISHING BRIDGE

One feels that life's a gentle thing

When the Powers That Be take the trouble

To build an extra little bridge,

Making the crossing double.

The higher bridge is for traffic,

The lower one for fishing!

Would that all of life were as civilised!

Oh well! Only wishing.

SHE LOST HER HEAD!

She lost her head over Billy Best!

I always said he was a pest!

But no! She couldn't see his faults!

She kept on turning somersaults!

Showing-off and being silly

Every time that she saw Billy.

Just because he had a tan

She felt he was her chosen man!

Just because his muscles bulged

She felt that he should be indulged!

Just because his hair was curly

She phoned him late, she phoned him early.

Just because his teeth were flashing

She thought him debonaire and dashing!

Just because he was so tall

She felt that they should have a ball!

Just because his voice was mellow

She thought he was her sort of fellow!

View this picture and realise

Going overboard isn't wise.

Give affection with discretion

And never give the wrong impression.

Never lose your head, my love,

Or you'll end up like her above!
