Peter and Janet ran into Susie,
Who looked pale and kind of woozy.
She'd been at the sherry
And the cider and perry,
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Peter and Janet ran into Susie,
Who looked pale and kind of woozy.
She'd been at the sherry
And the cider and perry,
And, looking at Pete, she said, "Oo's ee?"
He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green.

I was wondering if we were going to be able to get through that one without using "boozy" and/or "floozy" (although the booze got into it anyway)... :mrgreen:

How about:

Taking his golden specimen jar.
He went over a bump,
And soon got the hump,

He went over a bump,
And soon got the hump,
When people got splashed, near and far. :shock: :shock:

The rest of the bars
Were they in glass jars?

Were they in glass jars?
Or up the chimney, covered in soot?
