Gifted Typist

Since you’re liking like this recent slide into scatological humour, here is the famous Spike Milligan poem Maverick Prowles. It was originally offered up by GT star commentator Tonardo Tognetti.

Maverick Prowles
Had Rumbling Bowels
That thundered in the night.
It shook the bedrooms all around
And gave the folks a fright.

The doctor called;
He was appalled
When through his stethoscope
He heard the sound of a baying hound,
And the acrid smell of smoke.

Was there a cure?
‘The higher the fewer’
The learned doctor said,
Then turned poor Maverick inside out
And stood him on his head.

‘Just as I thought
You’ve been and caught
An Asiatic flu -
You musn’t go near dogs I fear
Unless they come near you.’

Poor Maverick cried.
He went cross-eyed,
His legs went green and blue.
The doctor hit him with a club
And charged him one and two.

And so my friend
This is the end,
A warning to the few:
Stay clear of doctors to the end
Or they’ll get rid of you.
