Mors Morsel

That apocryphal cause of her death -

That sandwich they found by her side -

Alas, you’ll be wasting your breath

Explaining that’s not she died.

You can prove that it’s simply untrue,

Repeat and repeat ‘til you’re weary,

But you’ll have to acknowledge that you

Can’t beat a conspiracy theory.

Poor Wandering One

Rex Smith had looks,

But not much talent.

To bring it up

Might be ungallant,

But if you’re doing

G and S,

You should learn to sing,

I’d guess.
