Persuasion

PERSUASION

A fellow who tried to persuade

His girl-friend to stop being staid

Was thrilled to the core

When she shouted out 'Sure!'

And took off her clothes and obeyed!

FRAUD

Once, when I was a little lad,

It happened I'd done something bad.

So the Vicar asked me round to tea,

And spoke, with stern sobriety,

About his life as a boy in school

Where he had learned the golden rule.

He told me he'd never picked a quarrel,

Being so utterly, utterly moral.

He said that he would always look

For guidance to the Holy Book.

And, true, I saw it there myself,

Prominent on his shining shelf.

But further along I also found

Another tome, all leather bound.........

If you're going to steal from the library

Don't leave the sticker for all to see!
