WETTY KITTY

 

If you can answer this

I will eat my hat

How can you describe

The smell of a wet cat

WEDDING BAND

Marriage is a thing

Which will put a ring

On a woman's finger

And two more under

The men's eyes

The poor guys

BRAINY BLONDE

The brain cells

Of a blonde crone

Will almost inevitably

Die all Alone

Murdered his three children and his wife Megara

The Delphic oracle punished him for the murders

By ordering him to perform the Twelve Labors

The hero overpowered it despite its flaming breath

And sent it to Athens were Theseus inflicted death

NATURE’S WAY

Time is merely nature’s way

Of assurance

And stops everything happening

At once

Took one look and wondered what they’d done

He was horrified it was the ugliest kid he’d ever seen

He said there was no way that he could be the dad

“Look at the two beautiful daughters we’ve had”

Then he gave her a very stern look and asked her

“Tell me honestly Ellen have you had an affair?”

But Ellen just smiled sweetly at her husband Joe

Then she looked at him and said, “Not this time no!”
