EPAULETTES

If your'e nursing an ambition

To rise to some great heights,

And on a mighty mission

You decide to set your sights,

Track-down a dress-designer

Before you make a move.

For you need an out-shiner

If you have a lot to prove.

It's no good looking dowdy

If you want to rule the earth,

The people will get rowdy

And treat your aim with mirth.

A Dictator must look bigger

Than all the other men;

He must seem to have a figure

That earns ten out of ten.

His shoulders must look broader

Than shoulders really are;

When he calls his folk to order,

They must know that he's a star.

So, for Dictatorial Dressing

I suggest The Epaulette;
When you set-about impressing,
They are the best thing yet.
Underneath you may be bony,
A scrawny little chap;
We wont guess that you're a phoney
And we'll fall into your trap.
You'll be a great Dictator,
Dine with Crowns and Coronets.
(You can reward me later
For advice on epaulettes.)

POSH MADE EASY!

People who're posh always have big brains,

Or so they like to think.

They can go to Eton and schools like that,

If they happen to own a mink!

The most difficult crosswords devised by man

The posh can do with ease,

Because they're so terribly upper-class.....

We only come up to their knees!

So why this crossword collection?

Maybe it's full of 'posh' words.

Like 'mater' and 'pater' and things like that.

Seems it's only for the birds!
