Dear All,
The Pittsburgh Pirate of Penzance
“I’m adrift to say a thankful thanks to you
for ACW’s epaulets and sailor’s top hat too
with a horny hornpipe toot”
Taran Tara, Taran Tara
I am the perfect model of a model perfect birthday gift
Full of generosity / without pomp-os-ity or thrift
I’ve taught a school of fish, and know the mysteries of the sea
I sail the ocean blue in a pink and blue tu-tu
And eschew a tattoo on my chest
And celebrate a nautical piece of cake
With Billy Budd in my bed
I rant Taran Tara / Taran Tara
I’ve information subliminal / animal and vegetable
And sip me hearties hard-on treat / a seashell brine so TERRIBLE
Anchors away with this motley crew
Ahoy ahoy, I say Adieu
I walked the plank / while the ship sank / without a single thanks / or howdy do.
I joined an admiral overboard
Where we became shark stew.

Dear All,
Ninety
We number 3 are 1 + 2 equal you.
Oh say can you C, 4 equals 5 while I’m alive.
Minus 3 and we are back to 2 = 4
Close the door, number 10,
pick up sticks again, WHERE?
8 close the gate,
too late the cat got out and ate 9 mice,
not nice if you’re a mouse.
Listen, listen again,
I hear mother calling,
It’s time to eat soup.
It must be 7 o’clock.
