Baa baa black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the Colonists,
One for their Dames,
One for Victoria
Who lives by the Thames
- Ibnay Muneeb ("Nursery Rhymes for Grown Ups")
------------------------------------
Note: although the British normally insist on reading "Thames" as "Temz" (rhyming with gems), we do not have to follow them any more :P . Also there does seem to be some precedence of such use in poetry, as the seventeenth century English poet Richard Lovelace says in the famous poem "To Althea, from Prison"
"When flowing cups run swiftly round,
With no allaying Thames,
Our careless heads with roses bound,
Our hearts with loyal flames"
