He replied furtively
“I’m a spy”

Minsk Spy”
TO HAVE VOICES IN MY HEAD

However, if I were to

After mating, before

It’s to stop the
snoring before it starts
EYES BIGGER THAN MY BELLY
Eyes bigger than my belly
Especially for cake
and jelly
My appetite no one
could stifle
I FEEL SUCH PRIDE
I feel such pride
As I watch my fledglings
Leave the nest
And learn to fly
There is grace in learning,
With crashes out of sight
Not submitting to scrutiny
In their stumbling indignity
But they persevere
On their plan of flight
Keep taking chances,
And making their advances
And make their own way
Slowly but surely they
achieve
For real heroes
Needn’t soar like eagles
To have a purposeful
life
And fulfil their dreams

Is that you look like a
trout
YOU CANNOT LIVE YOUR LIFE IN PARK
You cannot live your life in “Park”
Nor can you reverse to
happier times

On life’s hard
shoulder and go forward
And see what more life
has to offer
I LOVE FRIDAY, IT’S A SPECIAL DAY

That it’s still
actually Thursday
MONEY TALKS IS THE SAYING
“Money talks” is the saying
I’m not quite sure why
If my money could talk
It would only ever say
good-bye
THE OLD SAYING GOES
The old saying goes
“If you can't beat
them, join them”
But a rethink is
called for,
“If you can't beat them”,
Rather than joining them
You should “beat them”,
Because they will be
expecting
You to “join them”,
As a result you will
take them
Completely by surprise
WOMEN MIGHT BE ABLE TO FAKE ORGASMS

whole relationship
MY SISTER SAYS THEY ARE BOTHERED BY A RACCOON

their garbage Panda

Times are bad and getting worse
And I’m shocked at the
severity
As the light at the
end of the tunnel
Has been turned off
due to austerity
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
Everything happens for a reason,
Is the generally accepted
view
Unfortunately, you
must admit
That sometimes the
reason is you

MY GRANDMA TOLD ME HER JOINTS TROUBLE HER
My grandma told me her joints trouble her
And elaborated, saying

make her life brighter
If she was just to
roll her spliffs a bit tighter
WHEN I TAKE THE TIME TO PONDER MY SITUATION
When I take the time to ponder my situation
I consider myself to lead
a very lucky life,
Because the fine cognac
that I drink is older
Than the woman I’m happy
to call my wife
MY WIFE AND I ALWAYS COMPROMISE
My wife and I always compromise
That’s the secret to
being happy
Our compromise is,
that I admit
ONE DAY A COMPUTER
One day a computer
Actually, beat me at
chess,
I didn’t take it well,
I was a total mess
So, we had a rematch
To go tit for tat
But he was no match
for me
With a baseball bat
ALTHOUGH IT HAS BECOME A FAMILY TRADITION
Although it has become a family tradition
Not everyone over eats
on Thanksgiving
And of course I’m referring
to the Turkeys
Because they were stuffed
in the beginning

ARE YOU WEARING A SENSUAL AIR?

you everywhere

To quench a thirst, for
me
On a hot summers day
THE SWEET SCENT OF FRESH MOWN HAY
The sweet scent of fresh mown hay
Carried on the evening
summer breeze
Makes her look at me
and smile
As she knows it will
make me sneeze
I AM NOT A HOUSE PROUD MAN
I am not a house proud man
By any means or measure
I find it too much of
a chore
I am more a man of leisure
So, for me a clean flat
is
The sign of a broken computer
I USED TO BE INDECISIVE
I used to be indecisive
At least I thought so
But I am now quite
sure
That I don’t actually
know
SHE WAS A REAL NATURE GIRL
She was a real nature girl
Dancing happily in the

Like a flitting summer

With no thought of
cares and woes
As she frolic’s like a

Till the lengthening
of the shadows
I MET MY PROSPECTIVE FATHER IN LAW AT THE WEEKEND

I NEED YOU TO DELETE ME FROM YOUR ADDRESS BOOK
“I need you to delete me from your address book”

HIS LIFE WAS LIKEN
His life was liken
To a candles flame
But his flickering
glow
Did not sputter or
gutter
For his tapers story
Was to burn in all his glory
Though in short duration
It was an intense light
But the flame that burns
Twice as bright,
Burns half as long
I THINK IT’S PROBABLY A MYTH
I think it’s probably a myth
Regarding multitasking
women
Like the Loch Ness
Monster or
Shy retiring used car salesmen
BURNING AWAY
Once lit the candle of life burns
Hour by hour, day by day
As the candle's wax melts away,
the hours of your life melt with it
A peaceful quiet life
Produces a gentle flickering light
But burning the candle at both ends.
Causes a tongue of flame
But by flicker or
blaze
The hours of your life
will burn

it turned out
That the vicar said raspberry
pavlova
I ASKED CAROLINE OUT ON A DATE
I asked Caroline out on a date
At the start of the
summer break
Neither of us had dated
before
So, there was quite a
lot at stake
We met at the entrance
to the park
And walked to the café
on the lake
We sat at a table in
the window
Where she had a
strawberry milk-shake
Which she drank
through a straw
But my choice proved
to be a mistake
As I tried to be more
grown up
And ordered coffee and
cupcake
The coffee was bitter
and something
In the cake caused a
hives outbreak
Our second date was
less eventful
But was far more memorable

Witnesses are required
for
Criminal acts, accidents

Marriages, so need I say
more?
I NEED TO START PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION
I need to start paying closer attention
To things, every
detail of this and that
Because I found out
today that my wife
And I, have different
names for our cat
WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING I LOVE
Why is it that everything I love
Is either unhealthy,
addictive
Or has taken out more
than one
Restraining order
against me

21st century is great,

More important than

ahead even a bit
Because I started out
with nothing,
And I find that I
still have most of it

RISKY BEHAVIOURS
She woke up on Sunday morning
And regretted her
risky behaviours
Muttering as she
looked at her partner
“I should have gone to
Specsavers”
A VOYAGE ROUND MY FATHER (5)
I’m from a big Family
And my dad said to me
“Your brother is going to Italy
With his new lady”
I said, “Oh really, Genoa?”
“No, I haven’t met
her”
TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY EIGHT LOVERS
“Two hundred and eighty eight lovers”
Was not what I
expected, not even close
But that was what my
mum confessed
And to be honest that
was just two gross

AT THE ST PATRICK’S DAY PARTY
At the St Patrick’s Day party
A guy was playing the Ukulele
But he didn’t know
when to stop
Until he was hit with
a Shillelagh

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
But no one could be
bothered
To put him back together
again
ARE YOU WEARING PATENT LEATHER SHOES?
Are you wearing patent leather shoes?
Do I think they suit
you? In truth no
As you’re a thirty four
stone woman
Who is never going to
look like Poirot
ARE YOU WEARING SHAMROCK?
Are you wearing shamrock?
And Patrick is patron
saint, but why?
Did he drive the
snakes out of Ireland?
Or did he just have a
great PR guy?
ARE YOU WEARING A SHAMROCK?
Are you wearing a shamrock?
Ireland’s national
emblem
The young clover symbol
Displayed out of
patriotism
ARE YOU WEARING GREEN?
Are you wearing green?
My pretty young Coleen
And that’s everything
so?
Well that’s nice to
know
And is an image to
bewitch
If you do mean every
stitch
ST PATRICK'S DAY PICK UP # 1
When you’re on the pull
If you want to break
the ice
Say something funny
Or say something nice
Be complimentary
Or just lie in your
endeavour
Be devastatingly witty
Or say something clever
“Do you have any Irish
in you?”
Ask her, on St
Patrick's Day
And if she answers
yes, reply
“You can have some
more today”
ON ST PATRICK’S DAY
On St Patrick’s Day
You know an Irish rover
Has had enough to drink
When they’re Dublin
over
I GOT VERY DRUNK ON ST PATRICKS DAY
I got very drunk on St Patricks Day
So, I took a bus home
to save any fuss
This may not be a big
deal to most
But I had never before
driven a bus

You can drink green beer
On any St Patricks Day
It counts as a vegetable
And one of your five a
day
THE IRISH CELEBRATE ST PATRICKS DAY
The Irish celebrate St Patricks Day
And I have always
wondered why
As they have three
patron saints
Perhaps Patrick had a
better PR guy

Or just lie in your
endeavour
Be devastatingly witty
Or say something
clever
“Do you have any Irish
in you?”
Ask her, on St
Patrick's Day
And if she answers no,
reply
“Do you want some
today?”
ST PATRICKS DAY IS AN EXCUSE
St Patrick’s Day is an excuse
For girls to dress inappropriately
That’s why St Patrick’s
Day
Is the best holiday
for me
ST PATRICKS DAY FANCY DRESS
My friend asked me
What I was going to be
For St Patrick’s Day
I said “Drunk will do me”
ST PATRICKS DAY IS ONE OF THE FEW
St Patrick’s Day is one of the very few
Acceptable times to
wear body glitter
When you have a
reasonable expectation
Of not being mistaken for a stripper
THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT PATRICK
The feast day of Saint Patrick
Is Ireland’s National Day
When the Irish people
Celebrate Saint Patrick's Day

Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a crumble
Would that make Greggs
Customers grumble?
ARE YOU WEARING PATENT LEATHER BOOTS?
Are you wearing patent leather boots?
Well, I’m as open minded
as any other
But really? Thigh length
leather boots
When we’re burying your
mother
WHAT NOT TO DO IN HORROR MOVIES # 7
If you value your life avoid places
That might make your nerves jangle
A certain geographical location
For example the Bermuda Triangle
HAIR OF CHESTNUT
Hair of Chestnut
Tumbles unchecked
Over freckled skin
In perfect complement
Like forest fronds
In a dappled glade

One secret to a happy life
Is this and nothing
more
Once a year, go
somewhere
You’ve never been
before.
AN ARTIST SHOULD BE ADMIRED
An artist should be admired
Treasured and inspired
And encouraged to
create
Art to which we can
relate
THE PAINTER AND HIS MODEL
The painter and his model
Were smitten from the
very start
And every stroke of his
brush
Said “I love you with
all my art”
MY SON TOLD ME HE PLAYED IN A BAND
My son told me he played in a band
And I’m afraid I did
have to mock
Because they are called
the Pilgrims
So I asked if they
played Plymouth Rock
MEDICINAL REJECTION
“I can't be your valentine
For medical reasons”
said Nick
“God is it serious?”
he asked
“No you just make me
sick”
HOOCHIE COOCHIE
I really like to smooch
With my hoochie cooch
And the times I am in
bliss
Is when we hug and
kiss
Because I’m just a sucker
For my honey’s pucker

Why not on a chair?
The silly mare

When you’ve got that much cellulite
WHAT NOT TO DO IN HORROR MOVIES # 6
If you value your life avoid places
Famous for a murderous creature
Like a certain geographical location
Yes I’m talking about Transylvania
HAIR OF JET
Hair of jet
Falls untamed
Over alabaster skin
Stark in contrast
Like a ravens wing
Against fresh snow

Don’t let a little dispute
Injure a great
friendship
Swallow your pride
And quickly make up
