+ PORRIDGE POETRY
+
+
+
+
+ THE PORRIDGE POET
+
+ Dear Children, I would have you know it:
+ That this is me, the Porridge Poet,
+ My inspiration’s in the ice-box;
+ My rhymes I pick out from the spice-box.
+
+ My verse is very free and easy,
+ Its flavour sometimes slightly cheesy;
+ But that, my friends, is no great crime in
+ The gentle art of kitchen rhymin’.
+
+ I’ve made delicious maccaronics
+ From peelings off spring philharmonics.
+ And as for comic songs or ballads,
+ I turn them out like summer salads.
+
+ ’Tis to the cook-book that I owe it,
+ My reputation as a poet.
+ And if you’ll watch my pot a minute
+ I’ll show you how I mix things in it.
+
+ Now take a pint of vermicelli
+ And pound it to a nice smooth jelly;
+ If necessary use a hammer.
+ Then add a pinch or two of grammar.
+
+ Shake in an ounce of sifted syntax
+ And half a teaspoonful of tin tacks,
+ Then flavour with eggstravaganza,
+ And there you have a lovely stanza!
+
+[Illustration: THE PORRIDGE POET]
+
+
+ VERA VIRGINIA
+
+ Oh, what a popular person I am!
+ My full name is Vera Virginia Ham.
+ The barn-dance, the two-step, the sausage-roll trot,
+ The pig-jig, the hog-jog, I dance the whole lot.
+
+[Illustration: VERA VIRGINIA]
+
+
+ THE LOLLIPOPINJAY
+
+ On lollipops I live. I’m gay;
+ I leap and swirl, I spin and sway.
+ Come join me in the dance, I pray!
+ Let’s go!--Slap-bang!--Hip, hip, hooray!
+
+ For I’m the lollipopinjay.
+ I loll by night, I dance all day.
+ I jump, I crouch and pop away
+ Skip! Hop!--Tip-top!--Hip, hip, hooray!
+
+[Illustration: THE LOLLIPOPINJAY]
+
+
+ LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES
+
+ ’Twas in the tropic latitudes
+ That we were talking platitudes,
+ Just sailor-like chit-chatitudes,
+ As any ship-mates might.
+
+ We forgot to take our longitude
+ (Which was a grievous wrongitude)
+ So we didn’t reach Hong-kongitude
+ Till very late that night.
+
+[Illustration: LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES]
+
+
+ THE FLEDGELING AND THE BUG
+
+ “Are you the kind of insect, Sir,
+ “My mother calls digestible?”
+ Enquired the little fledgeling of
+ The Sweet Potato Bug.
+
+ “I’m nothing of the kind, my friend.
+ “My taste is just detestable--
+ “And so is yours--Such impudence!”
+ He answered with a shrug.
+
+[Illustration: THE FLEDGELING AND THE BUG]
+
+
+ PICNIC
+
+ Ella, fell a
+ Maple tree.
+ Hilda, build a
+ Fire for me.
+
+ Teresa, squeeze a
+ Lemon, so.
+ Amanda, hand a
+ Plate to Flo.
+
+ Nora, pour a
+ Cup of tea.
+ Fancy, Nancy,
+ What a spree!
+
+[Illustration: PICNIC]
+
+
+ SCALLYWAG AND GOLLYWOG
+
+ Scally Wag and Golly Wog
+ Took their bag aboard a log
+ And started off to cross the ocean blue.
+ They’re still at sea, I have no doubt,
+ For all they do is fight about
+ Which shall be the Captain, which the crew.
+
+[Illustration: SCALLYWAG AND GOLLYWOG]
+
+
+ THE PALM FAMILY
+
+ Nearby an African lagoon
+ Beneath the silent yellow moon
+ All safe from worries and alarms
+ There dwelt a family of palms.
+
+ It was a peaceful life they led
+ Mr. and Mrs. and little Fred;
+ And when the wind blew soft and low
+ They’d whisper tales of long ago.
+
+[Illustration: THE PALM FAMILY]
+
+
+ THE FOOD-HYMN OF THE
+ COOK-GOBLINS
+
+ Down where the glow-worms faintly glitter,
+ Down where the fire-flies gleam and flitter,
+ Come listen to the sausage twitter,
+ Sizz and crackle in the pan!
+ Tripe or truffles, fancy fishes,
+ It doesn’t matter what your wish is;
+ None prepare such luscious dishes
+ As we, the gay Cook-goblins, can.
+
+[Illustration: THE COOK-GOBLINS]
+
+
+ SCRUBBY CHUBBY
+
+ Such a scowling and a growling, howling yowling for a toy,
+ You grubby, snubby, tubby, chubby, scrubby little boy!
+
+[Illustration: SCRUBBY CHUBBY]
+
+
+ OOM-PAH
+
+ Oom-pah, boom-pah, oom-pah boom!
+ Like roses soon our cheeks will bloom.
+ We only ask for elbow-room
+ Oom-pah, boom-pah, oom-pah boom!
+
+[Illustration: OOM-PAH]
+
+
+ MISTER BEERS
+
+ This is Mister Beers:
+ And for forty-seven years
+ He’s been digging in his garden like a miner.
+ He isn’t planting seeds
+ Nor scratching up the weeds,
+ He’s trying to bore a tunnel down to China.
+
+[Illustration: MISTER BEERS]
+
+
+ THE PIRATE OF THE KITCHEN SINK
+
+ And who might this be, should you think?
+ Why, the pirate of the kitchen sink!
+ A dish-rag sail, a spoon for oar,
+ Could any captain wish for more?
+
+ Aboard his racing coffee-pot
+ He roams an ocean steaming hot.
+ No cup or saucer stays afloat
+ That dares to bump into his boat.
+
+[Illustration: THE PIRATE OF THE KITCHEN SINK]
+
+
+ THE MILLINERY BIRD
+
+ A friendly Arctic Puffin asked
+ The Millinery Bird,
+ “Aren’t the styles they’re wearing now
+ “A little bit absurd?”
+
+ “Oh well,” sarcastically said
+ The other with a snigger,
+ “That will depend, my squatty friend,
+ “_Entirely_ on your figure.”
+
+[Illustration: THE MILLINERY BIRD]
+
+
+ MR. PARRY AND MRS. PRINGLE
+
+ Said Mrs. Pringle to Mr. Parry,
+ “Tell me why you never marry?”
+
+ Said Mr. Parry to Mrs. Pringle,
+ “Life is so much simpler single.”
+
+[Illustration: MR. PARRY AND MRS. PRINGLE]
+
+
+ WEI HAI WO
+
+ A sage there was long, long ago,
+ A mandarin named Wei Hai Wo,
+ And at his window all day long
+ He sat and softly hummed this song
+ “How silly, Lily, lackaday!
+ “Deary daisy me!”
+
+ Said young Sin Ching to Wei Hai Wo,
+ “Please tell me why you sit there so?
+ I never chance this way to come
+ But that I always hear you hum,
+ “How silly, Lily, lackaday!
+ “Deary daisy me!”
+
+ “Well listen, friend,” said Wei Hai Wo,
+ “I love to watch the passing show,
+ “I take things easy, good and bad.
+ “Why should I rush through life like mad?
+ “How silly, Lily, lackaday!
+ “Deary, daisy me!”
+
+ “If others wish to run about
+ “Then let them. But let me look out.
+ “I’ve found that peace, my good Sin Ching,
+ “Is quite the most important thing.
+ “You see now why I sit and sing,
+ “How silly, Lily, lackaday!
+ “Deary, daisy me!”
+
+[Illustration: WEI HAI WO]
+
+
+ THE VEGETABLE SCHOOL
+
+ Teaching school is not so easy,
+ Be it big, or be it small,
+ With a Spring term class made up of
+ Vegetable scholars all.
+
+ Make the turnips turn their toes out.
+ See the pumpkins punctuate.
+ Have the parsnips parse correctly.
+ Let us, Lettuce, start at eight.
+
+ Lima Bean’s been most provoking.
+ Send him to the garden bed.
+ Artful artichoke, I see you
+ Beating beet upon the head.
+
+ Spinach, spin your tops outside, please.
+ Take two sevenths from a whole.
+ Carrot, carry one and add, dear.
+ Cauliflower, call the roll.
+
+[Illustration: THE VEGETABLE SCHOOL]
+
+
+ THE WAFFLE-KITE
+
+ This is the Waffle-Kite
+ And oh, what an awful sight
+ He looks when he digs in the marsh with his beak.
+ Mud pies it’s fun to make
+ To set in the sun to bake
+ When you’ve got the right kind of face, so to speak.
+
+[Illustration: THE WAFFLE-KITE]
+
+
+ CHRISTMAS DOUGH
+
+ For Christmas Day the Christmas dough
+ Is kneaded high and kneaded low.
+ Punch it thick and thump it thin,
+ Flatten it out with a rolling-pin.
+
+ In the kitchen’s lots of fun
+ When Christmas pie and Christmas bun
+ Are kneaded high and kneaded low
+ From lovely, squodgy, Christmas dough.
+
+[Illustration: CHRISTMAS DOUGH]
+
+
+ LOOSE IN THE MIDDLE
+
+ Hey diddle, diddle,
+ I’m loose in the middle.
+ Why can’t I get on with myself?
+ It’s not my digestion--
+ That’s out of the question,
+ ’Cause I left it at home on the shelf.
+
+[Illustration: LOOSE IN THE MIDDLE]
+
+
+ THE BOTTICELLO
+
+ In Florence Signor Quaverello
+ Would play the four-string botticello
+ Every single Sunday night, ’tis said.
+
+ Until his wife upstairs would bellow
+ “You noisy, good-for-nothing fellow!
+ “Hello!
+ “Quaverello!
+ “Put that thing away and come to bed!”
+
+[Illustration: THE BOTTICELLO]
+
+
+ THE TOFFEE ANALYST
+
+ “Oh, I’m the Toffee Analyst
+ So learned and sophisticky;
+ I’m making out a candy list,
+ It’s going to be statisticky.”
+
+[Illustration: THE TOFFEE ANALYST]
+
+
+ UP WRIGHT AND DOWN WRIGHT
+
+ Long ago the Brothers Wright
+ Were men of odd but great renown,
+ As different as day and night,
+ The neighbors called them Up and Down.
+
+ Now Up Wright was devout and lean,
+ Proper, virtuous and prim.
+ Whenever he felt low or mean
+ He merely sighed or sang a hymn.
+
+ A queerer pair was never made;
+ For Down Wright, short and thick,
+ Who always called a spade a spade,
+ Loved to argue, fight and kick.
+
+ Yet through the ups and downs of life
+ Through thick and thin, through good and ill,
+ In spite of all their constant strife
+ The brothers lived together still.
+
+[Illustration: UP WRIGHT AND DOWN WRIGHT]
+
+
+ THE LEGEND OF THE SEA-SICK SEA-GULL
+
+ Once there was a herring gull
+ Who found the ocean very dull
+ Said he, “I’m always sea-sick on the silly rolling sea.
+
+ “I’ll go ashore and settle down
+ In some peaceful country town
+ And wear my carpet-slippers when I drink my china tea.”
+
+[Illustration: THE SEA-SICK SEA-GULL]
+
+
+ JIM NAST OF PAWTUCKET
+
+ Here’s little Jim Nast of Pawtucket
+ Who slid down the stairs in a bucket.
+ He has more understanding
+ Since reaching the landing.
+ Just look at the hole where he struck it!
+
+[Illustration: JIM NAST OF PAWTUCKET]
+
+
+ CLIPPETY CLOP!
+
+ Clippety, snippety, clippety, clop!
+ A pretty pernickety barber’s shop!
+ Walk up! Walk in and have a shave,
+ A dry shampoo--a marcel wave,
+ Your whiskers trimmed in any style.
+ Come in, sit down and stay a while.
+ Soon the barber chimpanzees
+ Will bow and smile and say, “Next please!
+ “We’re always busy--never stop.
+ “Clippety, snippety, clippety, clop!”
+
+[Illustration: CLIPPETY CLOP!]
+
+
+ PETROLEUM AND TURPENTINE
+
+ “Oh won’t you be my Valentine
+ “This wintertime, sweet Turpentine?”
+
+ “How can I be, Petroleum?
+ “I’m promised to Linoleum.”
+
+[Illustration: PETROLEUM AND TURPENTINE]
+
+
+ THE MILK AND HONEY HONEYMOON
+
+ The Milky Way was made for you,
+ The Honey-Moon for me.
+ If we could only mix the two
+ How happy we should be!
+
+ With a milk-and-honey honeymoon,
+ You see, my charming wife,
+ We’d only need a table-spoon
+ And we’d be fixed for life.
+
+[Illustration: THE MILK AND HONEY HONEYMOON]
+
+
+ GIBBERISH
+
+ Sing a song of gibberish,
+ For this is rhyming day;
+ Hasty pudding, stirabout,
+ A goulash roundelay.
+
+ Sing a junket rigmarole,
+ A shindig jamboree,
+ Catalogues or doggerels,
+ They’re all the same to me.
+
+[Illustration: GIBBERISH]
+
+
+ MRS. VAN DER HOOK
+
+ There was a little lady and
+ her name was Mrs. Van der Hook.
+ She lived upon the main street of
+ the town of Amsterdam.
+ And when the neighbors told her it
+ was very rude to stand and look,
+ All she ever answered was,
+ “Well that’s the way I am.”
+
+[Illustration: MRS. VAN DER HOOK]
+
+
+ THE RAT AND GUITAR
+
+ You’ve heard of the Cat and the Fiddle,
+ Well, I am the Rat and Guitar.
+ I play by the moon
+ Such a beautiful toon
+ The Cat goes on sleeping--Ha! Ha!
+
+[Illustration: THE RAT AND THE GUITAR]
+
+
+ BETWIXT AND BETWEEN
+
+ Betwixt and Between were two betwins,
+ Their father’s name was Twoddle.
+ They’ve been alike as a pair of pins
+ Since they could scarcely toddle.
+
+[Illustration: BETWIXT AND BETWEEN]
+
+
+ THE KITCHEN KALENDAR
+
+ Pastry and Bun day
+ Ought to be Monday.
+ Then Irish Stews-day
+ Falls on a Tuesday.
+
+ Dine-out-with-friends day,
+ Let’s make that Wednesday.
+ Next, Apple-pie day
+ Should always be Friday.
+
+ Sausage-in-batter day,
+ Put that down Saturday.
+ But what about Sunday?
+ Oh, take a rest one day.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+ THE HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE
+
+ The Household Drudge
+ Was making fudge
+ In a great big china basin.
+ Alas! Alack!
+ She turned her back
+ And the poodle dipped his face in!
+
+[Illustration: THE HOUSEHOLD DRUDGE]
+
+
+ GOOD MORNING CORNUCOPIA
+
+ Good morning Cornucopia!
+ Your face looks even soapier
+ Than when I met you walking yesterday.
+
+ I know it, dear Symposium,
+ My complexion got so rosium
+ I covered it with lather and I left it there to stay.
+
+[Illustration: GOOD MORNING CORNUCOPIA]
+
+
+ GIMCRACK AND GEWGAW
+
+ Gimcrack and Gewgaw
+ Were riding a see-saw
+ And Gewgaw was up in the air.
+ There popped up a rabbit,
+ And Gim ran to grab it.
+ Said Gew, “Oh, that’s not playing fair!”
+
+[Illustration: GIMCRACK AND GEWGAW]
+
+
+ LULU GUBRIOUS
+
+ Said Auntie Macassar to Miss Lulu Gubrious
+ “Isn’t the weather just simply salubrious?”
+ “Why, no,” answered Lulu, “I think it’s monotonous.
+ “Just think if the rain should have gone and forgotten us!”
+
