My dad wrote this piece of Nonsense Verse many years ago - still love it to this day

'Twas the fifty first day of Septober
In the year Eighteen Fried Fish and Chips,
When a burglar had stolen a tunnel
To ruin rich people's cheap trips.
I turned on the light in the parlor,
And as I sat there in the dark,
A voice call out "Man the lifeboats!"
For a ship had been sunk in the park.
