Verse and worse

There once was a bloke called Wilberforce Schneider
Who slid down ALL banisters (and was nicknamed The Slider)
He did blackflips and star jumps and 360-spanglers
But his mother complained that he ruined his Wranglers

  1. Wilberforce Schneider
    Whose Mum searched the Web
    Was named The Spider
    And his father was dead!

    She'd wrapped him in silk
    Then she ate him up
    She brought in the milk
    And proceeded to sup.

    Sorry!

    Nuts in May

  2. So his mum started with her rants
    That he'd ruined his costly pants
    She said, "You've got a tear
    And your bottom is bare!
    You're clumsy, just like elephants!"

    'E said, "Sorry my dear mother
    I'll have to ask me dear brother
    If I can borrow his jeans
    'til we mend mine and they're cleans
    And next time the rail I will cover."

  4. When Wilber was way back in his teens,
    He had a knack for destroying his jeans,
    Now he's all grown up and in the marines,
    Capt. Schneider now blows things to smithereens.

  5. Maybe, Maggie - she was the old woman who lived in a shoe. You've got me thinking now!

  6. Eddie, I love how comments take the rhyme further, with their own interpretation - this one put a BIG grin on my face.
