The tally of Lister pieces is mounting it seems. 'Defenestration' was included in J.M.Cohen's Yet More Comic And Curious Verse Penguin 1959, reprinted 1964, but there is no acknowledgement to the New Yorker, where it appeared in the issue for Sept 16th 1956.

'Taxidermy' was in Punch in April 1965, but I don't know the exact issue date.

His New Yorker heyday seems to have been the 1950s, with 58 poems in the decade. There were 12 in the 1960s up to 1966, and then a solitary straggler in 1973.

Those collections might be worth looking for.
