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
