Miss Pettiffer the Lower

Knew more than

Miss Pettiffer the Higher

She could tell onyx from jesse

And gold from spite

Once a month

She would meet a Mr Turner

And they would spend hours

Discussing the Margate light

Miss Pettiffer the Higher

Was of the opinion

That Aberystwyth

Was the shiniest town in Wales

But Mr Turner disagreed

Noting that Red Rhyl was shinier

And that neither held the licence

To criticise Margate
