Downfall of a Duke
The Grand ol’ Duke of Porkies
He had ten million pounds.
He took it off to Jeffrey’s
And started on his rounds!
The Randy Duke of Porkies
His antics hit the skids.
He said he was in Woking
At Pizza Hut, with kids!!
The Creepy Duke of Porkies
Who said he couldn’t sweat
But when he left the dance floor
Was looking rather wet!
The Pompous Duke of Porkies
Finally got comeuppance.
He had to pay ten million pounds
And now is left with tuppence!
Poor old Duke of Porkies
No money left to spend.
Just plain old Andy Windsor
An ignominious end!!
Mozz
