An athletic young man called Grundy

played rugby every Sunday.

He’d pick up the ball,

run past one and all,

and never stop going till Monday.

There was a vain man from Kildare

who bragged he’d a full head of hair,

till one windy

his toupee blew away

and revealed his head to be bare.

A frusty old crone from Kirk Ella

returned late one night to her villa.

A burglar therein

set her hopes in a spin

but one look and he ran out in terror.
