An incautious young woman named Venn
Was seen with the wrong sort of men;
        She vanished one day,
        But the following May
Her legs were retrieved from a fen.
                -- Edward Gorey

An indefatigable woman named Bavel
Had often occasion to travel;
        On the way she would sit
        And furiously knit,
And on the way back she'd unravel.
                -- Edward Gorey

An ingenious young man in South Bend
Made a synthetic ass for a friend,
        But the friend shortly found
        Its construction unsound,
It was simply a bother -- no end.

An innocent maiden named Herridge
Was cruelly tricked ito marriage;
        When she later found out
        What her spouse was about,
She threw herself under a carriage.
                -- Edward Gorey

An inquisitive virgin named Dora
Asked the man who started to bore 'er :
        "Do you mean birds and bees
        Go through antics like these,
To suppy us our fauna and flora?"

An irate young lady named Booker
Told her husband, "You beast, I'm no hooker!
        If you want it queer ways,
        Go to whores for your lays!"
So he packed up his tool and forsook 'er.

An octagenerian Jew
To his wife remained steadfastly true.
        This was not from compunction,
        But due to dysfunction
Of his spermatic glands -- nuts to you.

An old couple just at Shrovetide
Were having a piece -- when he died.
        The wife for a week
        Sat tight on his peak,
And bounced up and down as she cried.

An old electronic designer
Had designs on a minor named Dinah.
        He couldn't carry them out
        For his prick was too stout,
And too small was the minor's vagina.

An old gentleman's crotchets and quibblings
Were a terrible trial to his siblings,
        But he was not removed
        Till one day it was proved
That the bell-ropes were damp with his dribblings.
                -- Edward Gorey
