My love sent me a Valentine
From this very box,
But she was messing with my friend
The handsome Michael Cox,
Who sat across the road from here
At a table with his coffee,
He liked it hot, he liked it sweet,
And always very frothy.

"You f'coffee?" the chancer said,
Flashing his knavish blue eyes.
"It comes nice and hot with a frothy head,
Much better than Old Studley's pies!"

Sorry to spoil the flow
But this is a terrific shot,
The post will come the post will go,
as e-mails blow it all to pot.

There's nothing like Quink on Basildon Bond
For sending sweet nothings to those who are fond.
Some say S.W.A.L.K. and others say N.O.R.W.I.C.H.
But fun to read whilst you're eating your porridge.

Flamin' Norah wot could be better?
Said the delightful Miss Lee.
I've got an e-mail but not a letter
And I ain't even got a PC.

Miss Lee had always fancied a cop,
One who would be quite meticulous,
So she grabbed a young bobby and gave him a whop,
And he had to take down her particulars.

"Holy PC! Can it get any better?"
She said as he snapped on the cuff.
"I've got a he-male attached to this fetter,
And the action is gunna get rough!"

"You must be a poet, and yet you don't know it,"
Miss Lee said all of a quiver,
"You get me outta here, take me to La La Land,
And I might even make that thing bigger!"

"You're under caution," the cop replied,
"So you'd better not come it with me."
I'm not going to be your bit on the side
When they finally set you free.

"Ha Ha Ha, Hee Hee Hee" quoth she,
full of gnomes and David Bowiee,
with as much decorum as she could muster,
She fell with a swoosh to his knee.
She struggled to rise,
fell over twice,
and said ... Dearie me.

"Just do a strip search!" she said with a lurch
As they both toppled onto the floor.
So with some compunction, he got out his truncheon,
And appropriate back-up was called for.

The charge sheet was long, the court case was messy.
Lord Denning enjoyed himself lots.
But when asked to explain herself to the jury,
She tied herself up in knots

No-one was sure where she'd found the string
With which to perform such tricks,
But the copper was there with his leg in a sling
And a face like a bilberry cake mix.

Miss Lee was strung up (there was nothing else for it)
And justice was not seen to be done.
But at the last minute, Michael Cox ate a biscuit
And decided to reach for his gun.

What was in that flapjack
We can only guess,
But Michael got the kickback
And he was out to impress.

He went up in the public gallery
(making eyes at the lovely Valerie)
And posted a selfie on Twitter
As he sprayed His Lordship with glitter.

Andy Rodker March 02, 2017, 10:11 PM
Can you picture the scene, all mayhem and flurry
and Valerie swooning like mad?
His Lordship was led away in a hurry
but what a great time he'd just had.

Slick Mick was sent down for contempt,
And his sentence should serve as a warning,
As he found that he wasn't exempt
From slopping out in the morning.

His charms were now less beguiling,
Since his coffee was laced with bromide,
And Studley came out of it smiling,
With Valerie back at his side.
