Dry Chameleon <\/b><\/p>\n
On a street in Bristol<\/p>\n
I met a woman<\/p>\n
With a dry chameleon<\/p>\n
In her pocket<\/p>\n
It had not rained that day <\/i><\/p>\n

Taken Away by Carl <\/b><\/p>\n
In Exeter I met a man named Carl<\/p>\n
He removed the flowers<\/p>\n
From my summer fields<\/p>\n
And the clouds<\/p>\n
From the warm skies<\/p>\n
I was left destitute at the railway station<\/p>\n
With no-one to care for me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dartmouth Ferry <\/b><\/p>\n
I have travelled on the ferry<\/p>\n
For forty-three years<\/p>\n
One day I will step ashore<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reculver Towers <\/b><\/p>\n
On the beach at Paignton<\/p>\n
My wife told me the story<\/p>\n
Of the Reculver Towers<\/p>\n
Which could be seen<\/p>\n
Just to the left of the pier<\/p>\n
On clear days<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kingswear Souvenir \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
On the occasion<\/p>\n
Of the Queen Mothers ninetieth birthday<\/p>\n
I purchased a mug<\/p>\n
Celebrating her hundredth year<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Devon Soil \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
As an experiment<\/p>\n
My grandfather dyed<\/p>\n
The county soil red<\/p>\n
Whilst this was a success<\/p>\n
It proved to be an unsuccessful venture<\/p>\n
