Dave ~~No, that wasn't one of mine, tho part of same Folk Review series. Nice one tho.

Have found all mine now. Here are a few --

If Ross
Is at a loss
Gilfellon
Will fill in

Peter Bellamy
Bound a full set of Kipling in vellum. He
Just thought
He ought

It's not true that Pentangle's
Bert Jansch suffers from the strangles
The origin of such a fiction
Must be his peculiar diction

If you should hear
Of the famous Morris of Oxfordshire
The dancers would thimk themselves slandered foully
If you mistake them for the products of that large works at Cowley

I wish I had time
To think of a rhyme
For Little Sir Hugh
Other then Jew

One has to applaud
The way the Son of God
Got Joseph over a barrel
In the Cherry Tree Carol

But even to an atheist like me it is a little scary
To think of the Virgin Mary
Administering the birch
To the posterior of the founder of The Church

I've always felt sorry
That Eppie Morrie
Was reduced to the use of force
To tease the Cock of the North

Pentangle's rendering of Jack Orion
Was a terrible try-on
And their calling the tune Traditional must have annoyed
Bert Lloyd

That's enuff grotty old clerihews - Ed
