Some people say that you’re a dear,

yet dear is far from cheap.

A jumper is a thing you wear.

yet a jumper has to leap.

It’s very clear it’s very queer,

and pray who’s to blame

for different meanings to some words

pronounced and spelt the same?

A little journey is a trip,

a trip is when you fall.

It doesn’t mean you have to dance

whene’er you hold a ball.

Now here’s a thing that puzzles me:

musicians of good taste

will very often form a band -

I’ve got one round my waist!
