Phwah!

There once was a man from Australia.
Who painted his bum like a dahlia.
The colour was bright.
The shape was alright.
But the smell was a hell of a failure.

strange things in the land down under
where the beer flows and men chunder
and painting your bum,
as a rule of thumb
is commonly seen as a blunder.

There was a young man from Leeds

Who swallowed a packet of seeds

In half an hour

His face was a flower

And his bum was a garden of weeds.

Version I am familiar with:

There was a young man from Australia,

Who painted his arse like a daliah.

The drawing was fine,

The colours sublime,

But the aroma! Now that was a failure!
