Was going about her affairs,
When she took a great leap,
And she died, in a heap,
At the foot of the dining room stairs.
--- Cap'n Bean P2006

Louise's career as a nanny was stopped,
When a baby she sat for was dropped.
So much for Au Pairs,
And toys on the stairs,
And instead of walking, she hopped.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

Down the stairs she went head over heels,
With thumping and rumping and squeals.
So take care where you tread,
Or someone will be dead,
If you walk downstairs in high heels.

Fell off his roof on his head.

Soon reduced them to paste,
A sad fate they now shared with their gems.

Whose trunk is incredibly hard.

And I bought the ranch.

As he fell from a height,
When he grabbed for a flyaway squeegee.

At the thought of that long-ago maggot
Whose words did intend
To start a new trend:

British cigarettes do share the name
And the sticks from the earlier claim.
But I cannot abide
By the use to deride...
Though my friends are all homos who flame.

And used as a term of abuse?
The definition of this
Is a bundle of sticks,
Not a guy who likes other guy's juice.

They'll applaud even in the caboose."

Was sat on the electric chair;
They pulled a switch,
He gave a twitch,
And then he was no longer there.

And the lights would go down
There in Ossining town;
Sometimes way-up to Bear-Mountain Bridge.

Then they wouldn't have had to cope.

For feeding his huge appetite.

Who regarded himself as a martyr.
Phonics might help his reading,
But won't help his breeding,
And he's not gonna get a bit smarter.

Than hooking inmates on a phonic?

On the gallows stood, hooded and strung.
Though everyone saw
A miscarriage of law,
The ladies liked how he was hung.

With her religion and prayed,
On how to bring back
Those souls that she hacked.
Too damned bad if she was dismayed.
