And speaking of Spike Milligan, I've just remembered this one (not in the least bit funny)...

A baby Rabbit with eyes full of pus
Is the work of scientific us.

My diagnosis
Myxomatosis.

And this one (much funnier)...

There was a baboon who one afternoon
Said "I think I will fly to the sun".
So with two great palms strapped to his arms
He started his take-off run.

Mile after mile he galloped in style
But never once left the ground.
"You're running too slow" said a passing crow,
"Try reaching the speed of sound."

So he put on a spurt (by God, how it hurt!)
The soles of his feet caught fire.
There were great clouds of steam as he raced through a stream
But he still didn't get any higher.

Racing on through the night both his knees caught alight
And smoke billowed out from his rear.
Quick to his aid came the fire brigade
Who chased him for over a year!

Many moons passed by, did baboon ever fly?
Did he ever get to the sun?
Well I've just heard today that he's well on his way,
He'll be passing through Acton at one.
