Well, as I seem to be playing by myself (where are you, Nell?) I offer the
following:-
Sir Walter Raleigh's Auntie Joan
Called him on the telephone.
"Walter, you're hopeless, you really are
The worst explorer in the world, by far.
Those potatoes you brought, they just won't light.
I tried and the cat got an awful fright.
That tobacco won't boil, its really no good.
I can't even use it as a pud.
Bring something better from your next trip.
Fill every space on each mighty ship.
Don't want a repeat of all this mayhem."
(Now, I wonder what else I can do with them?)
