There once was a lady from Exeter And all the young men threw their sex at her One day to be rude She posed in the nude And her parrot, a pervert, took pecks at her. New version: A once sober lady from Bali Who hacked her forensics on Kali Was surprisingly smitten By some bug she was bitten Hit the bottle like old Malcolm Lowry -- “True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.” – Kurt Vonnegut
