OLD NONSENSE POEM

[fleigerhauptman]

I jumped aboard a tramway car
to cross the raging sea
then i asked the skipper
to punch my ticket
but he said that he'd punch me.

Now I fell in love with an Irish lass
she could do the highland dance
and she lived in tiperary
just to be my girl in france

Her father was converted
for he drove a big stem boat
and used to send the boys for coal
to feed fat mulligans goat

now the goat was sick next morning
for it'd died three weeks before
so I think this poem's gone far enough
and I wo'nt write any more.
