Old-timers, when hunting a whale, Would aim at its head, not its tail. They found it a boon To whet each harpoon On a rough block of sandstone or shale.

I have taken the liberty of using 'uniquely' rather than 'unique'...
The Liverpool players were plucky But finished uniquely unlucky, For Manchester City Proved even more gritty. My Scouse friend said "Life's a bitch, ducky".

There was sleet in the streets of Khartoum. Slender lass took a lad to her room. "But," she said, "you must know If it works out...just so... Then my father will threaten your doom..."

He claimed to be psychokinetic, But I found his performance pathetic. He used a thin string To pull everything! Mind-power remains theoretic.
