A COUPLE OF WOMEN

 

A couple of women

Live next door to me

One is middle-aged

And teaches PE

The other a social worker

In her mid-twenties

They go everywhere together

If you please

And I’ve never seen a man

Either enter or leave

I’m beginning to think

That they might be Lebanese

YOU ARE TRULY MIDDLE AGED

 

You are truly middle aged

When your twilight is dawning

And you still believe you will

Feel better in the morning

AGED IN THE WOOD

I think that I can say

With some certainty

That age is too high a price

To pay for maturity

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING OLD

 

You know you're getting old when I bet

You have too much room in the Maisonette

And not enough in the bathroom cabinet

WIND

 

Now trapped wind can be

A problem apparently

A thing to overcome

And a real worry to some

While not endangering

It does cause suffering

But keep it in they ought

Despite any discomfort

As its when they get leaky

That really concerns me

CAPITAL MODE

 

A super model named Bimbette one day

Was bragging to her model friend Soiree

About her knowledge of world capitals

While sitting round with some model pals

She said proudly, "Go ahead and ask me”

“I know them all just you wait and see"

So, Soiree asks for the capital of Germany

Bimbette replies, "Oh, that's easy its G"

POVERTY TRAP

I think the simplest way of defining Poverty

Is when you have too much month left, you see

When you have come to the end of the money
