There was an old man from Belgrade

Who kept a dead whore in a cave

He said "I'll admit

I'm a bit of a shit

But think of the money I'll save".

Always use the green cross code

Because I wont be there when you cross the road.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I’m a schizophrenic

And so am I !

The Firewood Poem

Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut’s only good they say,
If for logs ’tis laid away.

Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be;
But ash new or ash old,
Is fit for a queen with crown of gold.

Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
it is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E’en the very flames are cold
But ash green or ash brown
Is fit for a queen with golden crown

Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom

Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter’s cold
But ash wet or ash dry
a king shall warm his slippers by.

Kipling could write a lovely poem…, and apparently also makes exceedingly good cakes.
