THE SLIMY DOOM

At the first sign of Slimy Doom,

Hie you to your hotel room!

Take a dose of Syrup of Figs

And dance some vigorous Highland Jigs.

If the slime is very acute

Strip off down to your birthday suit!

Oh yes, of course, if you're really doomed

You will have to be exhumed!

Bridges of glass are not for you,

Even though there's a lovely view.

Many a tourist has reached his tomb

By way of the dreaded Slimy Doom!

HARD PRESSED

One day a kindly gentleman was walking down the street

When he saw a scene he considered to be touching and quite sweet.

A little boy, not very tall, was standing near a door.

But he couldn't reach to ring the bell, though he tried more and more.

Up on his tippy-toes he went, and then he jumped up high,

But the door-bell still was out of reach, however he might try.

The kindly gentleman crossed the road; 'I'll help you, sonny' he said,

'That naughty doorbell's much too high; way above your head!'

The gentleman pressed the doorbell, the ring was loud and clear,

And he heard a sound from inside the house; footsteps coming near.

The gentleman smiled as he said to the boy 'Now what, my little man?'

'Don't you know?'  the boy replied  'You run as fast as you can!'
