INN TROUBLE

A mate of mine and his new wife

Stayed in a hotel in the town of Fife

Just for one night with time to kill  

And he got a two-hundred-pound Bill

“Two hundred pounds? for what?”

My mate said, “That seems to be a lot”

“That’s for your room and board sir”

Answered the odious hotel manager

My friend said, “Room and board?

We didn't even eat here.” He roared

The manager said, “Well it was here

If you missed it, that’s bad luck I fear”

I’m not paying the Bill” My friend said

“You can take a hundred quid instead”

“I'm deducting a hundred as a fine 

For sleeping with this wife of mine”

“I never touched a hair on her head”

“She was there though,” My mate said

A QUESTION BEFORE I GO

 

A husband and wife were lucky to have four sons

The youngest boy was different to the older ones

The older three were tall had light skin, and red hair

While the youngest was short blue eyes and was fair

When the father took ill and was lying on his deathbed

With all his strength he turned to his wife and said

“Darling, before I die, please be totally honest with me

Is our youngest son mine as he’s not like the other three?”

“I swear on everything that's holy that he is your son.”

The wife replied, and then with a smile he was gone

The wife then muttered to herself almost silently

“Thank God he didn't ask me about the other three.”

NOBODY LIKES A SMART ARSE

Death is I would say

Just simply God's way

Of telling you or I 

Not to be such a wise guy

FRIEND OR FOE

Your friends may come

And your friends may go

But your enemies just

Seem to accumulate so

LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE, #3

Thought in his day

Things which can’t

Fail, will anyway

BACK IN SMOGGY BERMONDSEY

 

When we were back

In smoggy Bermondsey

And all the money was spent

We looked back fondly

On our September holiday

Picking hops in Kent

ARE YOU WEARING JUST A SMILE?

 

Are you wearing just a smile?

Beneath your uniform all the while

Though outwardly well uniformed

You stand there unadorned

Beneath your starchy exterior

You are naked front and rear

Nurse, nurse check my breeches

I’m about to pop my stitches
