72 Miles From The Sea

The old saying goes

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

But surely it should be

Or was it don’t put both legs in one gusset

It was Foghorn Leghorn’s birthday

And he celebrated with his mates

When they threw him a great party

And served up his favourite coop-cakes

Adversity makes for strange bedfellows

Is how they put it proverbially

But in my house estranged bedfellows

Makes for a good deal of adversity

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool

Than to speak and remove any and all doubt

I wish I had heard that proverb before I spoke

Keeping quiet would have been a very good shout

Anyone who actually believes

That cheats never prosper

Have never seen defenders

Preparing to defend a corner

Women will dress up to go shopping

And for doing chores and errands too

Whereas Men will dress up for Weddings

And funerals, but only if they have to

I really like twenty five

Letters of the alphabet

I don’t care for the other one

I don’t know y, I forget
