MY GIRL IS TEACHING ME A LANGUAGE

 

My girl is teaching me a language

Natalia is from Russia you see

But it is not going very well at all

She tried with simple things for me

Asking the Russian word for napkin

Soviette is not the answer apparently

SITTING ON THE BACK ROW

 

Sitting on the back row

When the cinema’s dark inside

With your left-handed girl

Try to keep on her right side

MOBILE COMMUNICATION 2013

 

“I want to buy a mobile phone,

No I don’t want a camera,

Not even video,

No I don’t want movie downloads

Screensaver’s, internet access,

Or downloads of any kind

I don’t want WAP or WiFi

G3, G4 or G5

I don’t need 100 ringtones

10000 free minutes

Or unlimited texts at weekends

I don’t need a I GB data allowance

I don’t want to play games

I don’t need an MP3 player

I don’t want a tracker,

I neither want nor need

Blue tooth

Sharks tooth

Hounds tooth

Or dog tooth.

I do not require the world at my fingertips.

In short, what I want is a device

To make and receive phone calls

And to send and receive texts

I just want to buy a BLOODY PHONE”

“Thank you that one will be perfect

Does it have a torch?”

FOOD SCARE

 

I have just found out

That in the meals I buy

That there is sea horse

In my fisherman’s pie

GERIATRIC DOCTOR

The Doctor on the geriatric ward

Placed his stethoscope

On the chest of an elderly patient

By the name of Mrs Hope

She was quite a bit deaf

So, he said “big breaths,” loudly

“Well Doctor they used to be,”

Mrs Hope replied proudly
