As the android strolled down the street,
A junk man he chanced to meet,
"A heart please, sir I beg
"I'll trade you a spare leg,
"That is surplus, but not obsolete."

Such are the feeble bases on which many a public character rests.
Construction of illegal outdoor Privvys on common land a speciality. Our customers always come back.

So, now he'll regale
with "Ye Astronowtes Tale"
And, his 'bum' jokes will be somewhat coarser.
If you hang your butt out of a window.

That little flying saucer/Chaucer episode reminds me of an advert that appeared in a magazine (Flight, I think) back in the late '50s or early '60s. It's one of those silly little rhymes that seemes to become lodged in one's brain…
A squadron leader name of Chaucer
One day observed a flying saucer
And as it was the first he'd met
He followed after, in his jet.
At last ran his prey to ground
And to his great delight he found
Hedge-hopping over several spinneys
His quarry was A FLYING GUINNESS!
Here's hoping that you find one, too
Guinness, you'll find, is good for you.
I now return you to your scheduled limerick feature.
