MY GRANDPARENTS HAVE LOADS OF SAYINGS

 

My grandparents have loads of sayings

“There’s no place like home” being one

But I’ve decided that they’re hypocrites

As they won’t let us put them in one

WE ALL HAVE A SKELETON

 

Let’s be honest we all have

A skeleton in the cupboard, or two

But some people let theirs

Walk the catwalk for the public to view

DAREDEVILISH # 1

 

To do something daring

That is my wish

Like eating cup-a-soup

From a dish

WARNING TO DRINKERS # 2

 

New health warnings should be

On bottles and tins for us to see

Warnings clearly on display

That the consumption of alcohol may

When you don’t know how many you’ve had

Lead to you dance like your Dad

I HAVE BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED

I have been happily married

For five years to my wife Terri

Unfortunately, we’ve just celebrated

Our golden anniversary

I WORK FOR A COMPANY

 

I work for a company

Supposedly exploring

But if truth be told

It has me snoring

I drill all day for water

And it’s well boring
