The judge of the contest gave praise To the ladies' quaint floral displays, But injured their pride With a flippant aside: "We're all a bit withered these days!"

An ugly riparian weed Kept spreading, and scattering seed. But a rigorous drill Of 'trample and kill' Proved very successful indeed.

In Austria's capital city, The woods and the lanes are so pretty. You can feast on cream cakes And caramel bakes, But they cost quite a lot, more's the pity.

A dullard who lived in Dundee Watched quizzes and games on TV. He found it too boring To follow the scoring – He just liked the clapping, you see.

When we bombed German cities by air, The moralists didn't much care, But if dwellers were shot By troops on the spot, It was classed as a war-crime affair.
