My nephew, he knows a thing or two…

About all the words that rhyme with shoe

There’s being at the front of the queue and ‘how-do-you-do?’

And please give me a ride on your brand new Skidoo!

There’s Hugh and his crew from Kathmandu

And dad’s cousin who’s suffering from deja vu

There’s the well-to-do, who only eat stew

And the kangaroo who eats vegetable ragu

The Zulu warrior on sundown curfew

And a Guru with a black belt in kung-fu

There’s ‘ooh’ and ‘boo’, we’ll add both of those too

And Lou from Corfu with a large IOU

So Auntie, he says, it is time you outgrew

Your need to rhyme everything, with the word ‘poo’
