So, just read them and make your time entertaining.     

1. A woman who my mother knows

Came in and took off all her clothes.

Said I, not being very old,

'By golly gosh, you must be cold!'

'No, no!' she cried. 'Indeed I'm not!

I'm feeling devilishly hot!'

2. I met a man with seven wives

Said he, 'I think it's much more fun

Than getting stuck with only one.' 

3. The most important thing we've learned, 

So far as children are concerned, 

Is never, NEVER, NEVER let 

Them near your television set -- 

Or better still, just don't install 

The idiotic thing at all. 

4. I guess you think you know this story.

You don't. The real one's much more gory.

The phoney one, the one you know,

Was cooked up years and years ago,

And made to sound all soft and sappy

just to keep the children happy.

5. This famous wicked little tale

Should never have been put on sale.

It is a mystery to me

Why loving parents cannot see

That this is actually a book

About a brazen little crook.

6. When little Snow-White's mother died,

The king, her father, up and cried,

'Oh, what a nuisance! What a life!

'Now I must find another wife!'

(It's never easy for a king

To find himself that sort of thing.)

He wrote to every magazine

And said, 'I'm looking for a Queen.
