Spike Milligan Poems

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
...

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
...

'Help, help, ' said a man. 'I'm drowning.'
'Hang on, ' said a man from the shore.
'Help, help, ' said the man. 'I'm not clowning.'
'Yes, I know, I heard you before.
...

Through every nook and every cranny
The wind blew in on poor old Granny
Around her knees, into each ear
(And up nose as well, I fear)
...

A young spring-tender girl
combed her joyous hair
'You are very ugly' said the mirror.
But,
...

Say Bazonka every day
That's what my grandma used to say
It keeps at bay the Asian Flu'
And both your elbows free from glue.
...

'Twas midnight in the schoolroom
And every desk was shut
When suddenly from the alphabet
Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!"
...

Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
...

There must be a wound!
No one can be this hurt
and not bleed.
...

My sister Laura's bigger than me
And lifts me up quite easily.
I can't lift her, I've tried and tried;
She must have something heavy inside.
...
