For grown-ups: listen & read

FOUR LORDS

Four
lords
were taken to court
for courting
young ladies
and peeping at doors

They wore
velvet suits,
chain-watches,
a monocle
and black stockings

The four
were tall
and good sports,
they blamed the Port
for courting
young ladies
and peeping at doors

After all,
 all we saw
 were ladies undressing
 for unloved lords

The judge
was a dwarf.
He wore
a wig because
he was bald.

He too was a good sport,
but he had a weak spot,
his weakness for Port


They thought
of offering
him a glass of port,
just to get warm.

They had plenty in stock

The judge
tasted the port
and asked for more;
he was soon on the floor
of the court.

-Now, my lord,
 you can judge,
 as you're as sober 
 as a lord
 and we're as drunk
 as a judge.

-After all,
 it isn't your fault,
 my lords,
 I find guilty the Port.
 By George! 

 It's such  good Port!

So he blamed the cordial
instead of the lords
