An index of congressmen, stating
Their party and honesty rating,
Would focus complaints
On the rascals, not saints,
But the list would need constant updating.

A snail's locomotion is slow;
It's probably longing to go
At a much faster rate,
But you can't defy Fate,
As any failed athlete will know.

A folly, a grand waterfall,
And a fountain a hundred feet tall
Will show that you're wealthy,
But pride is unhealthy.
Be modest, and build something small.

The key to investment success
Is always to make a shrewd guess
And then hold your nerve,
But to keep in reserve
An alternative you can finesse.

There was a young fellow from Kent,
Who sold apple pies from a tent.
They were topped with a cherry
And made people merry,
For the yeast in them made them ferment.

When they get to the age of majority,
Some folk like to challenge authority.
They mimic the speech
Of their elders who preach,
But the rebels are just a minority.

If you make a long peregrination
In search of divine inspiration,
Like knights, monks or lamas
In period dramas,
I hope that your soul finds salvation.

A good varied diet, with allium
(Like garlic) will wean you off Valium.
Take note: if you fret,
So bad can you get
That you jump off a cliff, or take thallium.

A caveman decided to make
A spear to catch herring and hake.
This wooden harpoon
Was carefully hewn,
But turned out to be a mistake.

The infantry soldiers were meant
To be steadfast, and never relent.
But sometimes the standard
Was dropped, or meandered,
Or even got left in a tent.
