Oh who remembers this one (sung to the tune of Mary from the Mountain Glen, obviously!!)
Mary from the Mountain Glen
Seduced herself with a fountain pen
The pen did break
The ink went wild
And she gave birth to a blue black child
And she called the b-----d Stephen
She called the b-----d Stephen
She called the b-----d Stephen
Cos that was the name of the ink.
My mum used to recite a rhyme about a woman who married a “darkie”
I can’t remember the actual rhyme, but the last line was
One black, one white, one khaki
Ok let’s raise the level a little. Anyone remember spouting the following? I learnt this around the age of 13 - we all used to feel so clever reeling it off
Are you insinuating that I should tolerate such diabolical insolence from such an impertinent person as you, when your mind is not sufficiently sophisticated to comprehend the verbosity of my remarks?
There was a young woman named Starkey
who fell in love with a darkie.
The result of her sins
was three sets of twins -
One black, one white, and one khaki.
Of course I did not know that - had to ask the cat!
Oh, I remember my mum spouting a similar wordy reply if we asked her a question, she would reply…
“Not knowing cannot say…
Not being sufficiently interested, cannot reply with that degree of verisimilitude which alone could satisfy your insatiable curiosity”
