They had come in the fugue to the stretto
When a dark, bearded man from a ghetto
        Slipped forward and grabbed
        Her tresses and stabbed
Her to death with a rusty stiletto.
                -- Edward Gorey

Though his plan, when he gave her a buzz,
Was to do what man normally does,
        She declared, "I'm a Soul-
        Not a sexual goal!"
So he shrugged and called someone who was.

Though most of the crewmen are whites,
Uhura has full equal rights.
        Her crewmates, you see,
        Love De-mo-cra-cy,
And the way that she fills out her tights.

Lay all of his life on his back,
        His wife got her share,

To bear offspring, Noah's snakes were unable.
Their fertility was somewhat unstable.
        He constructed a bed
        Out of tree trunks and said,
"Even adders can multiply on a log table."

To his bride a young bridegroom said, "Pish!
Your cunt is as big as a dish!"
        She replied, "Why, you fool,
        With your limp little tool
It's like driving a nail with a fish!"

To his bride said a numskull named Clarence :
"I trust you will show some forbearance.
        My sexual habits
        I picked up from rabbits,
And occasionally watching my parents."

To his bride said economist Fife :
"The semen you'll launch as my wife,
        We will salvage and freeze
        To resemble goat's cheese,
And slice for hors d'oeuvres with a knife."
