DIZZY - DODO
The dodo, which lived in Mauritius, Was placid, and not at all vicious; Then hunters got busy And made it feel dizzy. The urge to control is pernicious.

The Queen's coronation was grand; The central events were well planned. Ceremonial skill And punctilious drill Are old royal strengths in this land.

LUBRICATE - LUNCHTIME
At lunchtime, I find milky tea Sufficient to lubricate me. My friends enjoy wine Or gin when they dine - One guy likes a blend of all three.

When Wellington won Waterloo By vanquishing Bonaparte's crew, The weeping was drowned By a great cheering sound. They made him Prime Minister too.

I saw Liberace once play A rhapsody based on My Way. He wore a gold suit, With ribbons so cute That they shook when he reached to top A.

There are some architectural styles That many a critic reviles, Like a cupola built At a ten-degree tilt, Or a cumbersome slab seen for miles.

Continual urbanization Has spoiled this once peaceful location. There are few things so drab As a fake ashlar slab Or asphalt, in my estimation.

Ventriloquists 'speak from their tummy' (Or so the word means), while their dummy Moves his or her lips To make merry quips. One pair were dubbed 'Jock and the Brummie'.
