I don't think these favorites are mentioned above:

There once was a poet named McNamiter,
Whose tool was of prodigious diameter;
But it wasn’t the size,
That gave the gals the surprise,
T’was his rhythm – iambic pentameter.

There was a young lady from Bangor,
Who fell asleep while her ship lay at anchor;
She awoke with dismay,
When she heard the mate say,
“Hoist up the top sheet and spanker!”

There was a young widow named Brice,
Who kept her dead husband on ice;
She said, “T’was hard when I lost him,
But I’ll never defrost him;
He's rather cold comfort but nice.”

There was a bold Sumurai called Sanjo,
Who fought in duels with his banjo;
He said "I never fret
When a challenge I get;
I’d rather fight duels than tango!"

There was a young man from Bombay
Who sailed to China one day,
Of the pox he did worry,
So he dabbed on some curry,
And for Ship Street his anchor did weigh!

There once was a praying mantis,
Whose love-life was hit or miss;
When her lover gave head,
She would eat it instead,
And that was the end of their tryst.

There was a young man from the Calais
Who used to sing chanties all day,
He'd sing "Down Trinidad",
"Eight Bells" and "Sailor Lad,"
"Stormalong John" and "Ranzo Ray!

Cheerily,
