I love to stroll through a garden
If private - I beg your pardon
I dance round the pond
Touch each leafy frond

There was a young man from Dundee
Who loved Arbroath Smokies for tea
With hot, buttered toast
It’s what he liked most

Who loved Arbroath Smokies for tea
With hot, buttered toast
It's what he like most
He balanced his plate on his knee.

His girlfriend came from Aberdeen

His girlfriend came from Aberdeen
Her hair had a coppery sheen

GoldenLady Mon 03-Oct-22 15:53:19

His girlfriend came from Aberdeen
Her hair had a coppery sheen
Though Scotch was her drink,

Yammy Mon 03-Oct-22 16:39:27

She'd accept port with a wink

His girlfriend came from Aberdeen
Her hair had a coppery sheen
Though Scotch was her drink,
Or port, with a wink
She’d only get drunk on Poteen.

And, whilst we’re in Scotland, Loch Ness

GoldenLady Mon 03-Oct-22 23:26:48

And, whilst we’re in Scotland, Loch Ness
Is the scariest lake, I confess!

And, whilst we’re in Scotland, Loch Ness
Is the scariest lake, I confess!
Twas Nessie I saw

And, whilst we’re in Scotland, Loch Ness
Is the scariest lake, I confess!
Twas Nessie I saw
I stood there in awe

And, whilst we’re in Scotland, Loch Ness
Is the scariest lake, I confess!
Twas Nessie I saw
I stood there in awe
'Cos his hair was really a mess.

I swan up the lake to meet him

Squiffy Tue 04-Oct-22 11:17:22

I swam up the lake to meet him
The water was icy and grim

lovebeigecardigans1955 Tue 04-Oct-22 11:40:25

I swam up the lake to meet him
The water was icy and grim
He dived down below

Mollygo Tue 04-Oct-22 11:55:33

I swam up the lake to meet him
The water was icy and grim
He dived down below
Where I couldn’t go

GoldenLady Tue 04-Oct-22 14:00:07

I swam up the lake to meet him
The water was icy and grim
He dived down below
Where I couldn’t
And the water was awfully dim.

So I never got close to the beast

Mollygo Tue 04-Oct-22 18:07:13

So I never got close to the beast
He didn’t get me for a feast

crazyH Wed 05-Oct-22 01:09:27

So I never got close to the beast
He didn’t get me for a feast
Many false sightings

GoldenLady Wed 05-Oct-22 15:33:13

So I never got close to the beast
He didn’t get me for a feast
Many false sightings
Daytimes and nightings

lovebeigecardigans1955 Wed 05-Oct-22 16:32:53

So, I never got close to the beast
He didn't get me for a feast
Many false sightings
Daytimes and nightings
He could pop his head up at least.

There was a wee beastie called Thomas

There was a wee beastie called Thomas
‘Twas our favourite, specially Momma’s

Mollygo Wed 05-Oct-22 20:57:26

There was a wee beastie called Thomas
‘Twas our favourite, specially Momma’s
He looked like a train

crazyH Wed 05-Oct-22 23:39:51

There was a wee beastie called Thomas
‘Twas our favourite, specially Momma’s
He looked like a train
Not much of a brain

GoldenLady Thu 06-Oct-22 14:06:13

There was a wee beastie called Thomas
‘Twas our favourite, specially Momma’s
He looked like a train
Not much of a brain
But, at least, this line, has plenty of, commas.

The scariest Halloween beast

The scariest Halloween beast
A spider, which daily increased

Squiffy Thu 06-Oct-22 17:31:02

The scariest Halloween beast
A spider, which daily increased
Its size was immense

crazyH Thu 06-Oct-22 18:22:06

The scariest Halloween beast
A spider, which daily increased
Its size was immense
A foot and nine- tenths
