Total Sconsense

In the desert depths of Dorset
Where the avacados roar
And a cactus in a corset
Makes the cephalopoda snore,
There’s a lady who politely
In her sweet soprano tones
Serenades a man who nightly
Spreads the cream upon her scones.
Now this clotted-cream-and-jammer
Sometimes seems supremely vexed,
So he utters with a stammer
That he’s “feeling quite perplexed”.
For he’s never come in second,
Nor won gold, just gained the bronze
Yet by many men he’s reckoned
King of creaming ladies’ scones!
