Humorous and serious rhyming verse, funny poems,
limericks and valentines written by David Axton.

He stared at the waxwork and thought
The likeness was perfectly caught
Which was certainly proved
When it suddenly moved
And asked for the ticket he'd bought

There was an old drunk from Kilblane
Who wandered for miles in the rain
His hat it did shrink
Which then made him think
His head was too small for his brain
