We’re not allowed to mention Uncle Edward
Nor “farmyard assignations” (quote, unquote)
In our family tree, our uncle’s dead wood,
Since Aunt Matilda caught him with that goat.
It would be a fantastic anecdote
(Sodomy with any quadruped would)
But the tale remains unspoken in my throat
‘Cos we can’t even mention Uncle Edward.
(Ostracised for bestial compulsion,
He set up home with Nanny on St. Kilda.
Oh stranger, you might well express revulsion,
But then, you haven’t seen our Aunt Matilda)
