It always takes longer
Than
you expected
Even
when Murphy’s
Has
been accounted
It always takes longer

Even

For the world at large Shrove Tuesday
Precedes
Ash Wednesday
For
my unfortunate family stove Tuesday
Precedes

I thought I would try tossing a pancake
Well,
that turned out to be a big mistake
The
first three didn’t leave the pan at all
The
next two were sliding down the wall
The
only one dispatched with any grace
Then
splashed hot fat right in my face
Tossing the pancake
How
hard could it be?
Well
quite difficult
Which
surprised me
What
an awful mess
After
the first three
I
gave up after four
That
landed on me
Tossing a pancake
I
can do that
Just
get a fry pan
Heat
up the fat
Mix
up the batter
As
easy as that
One
on the ceiling
One
on the cat
One
on the door
One
on the mat
One
on my head
Like
a sweet sticky hat
After an accident on the motorway
Involved
a number of vehicles today
A
trailer jackknifed and shed its load
Of
tights and stockings in the road
The
spokesperson for the traffic cops
Has
announced there may be holdups
A white horse walked into a pub
And
ordered a pint and some grub
The
barman was taken by surprise
At
first, he couldn’t believe his eyes
And
although at first, he was unsure
He
soon recovered his composure
Not
used to a horse in this location
He
tried a to start up a conversation
He
said, “I don’t know if you knew
We
have a whisky named after you”
“Really?”
the horse asked curiously
“You
have a whisky named Jeremy?”
