Verses by Ted

Moby Dick

Lord Cantilever Garstang Froodge
And Sir Scaggliwag-de-Boodge
Were swallowed by a simply huge
Whale.
The found themselves in a sort of hall
Surrounded by a curving wall.
One end was narrower near the creature's
Tail.
And this was how it had come about:
They'd been in a boat and fallen out
The monster came up near to spout.
Gale
Warnings on the BBC
Said naught of monsters in the sea
But only that the wind was free.
Gaol
Is perhaps the name to give
To a whale's inside where two men live
They drowned. He leaked just like a sieve.
Wail!
