HUMEROUS HAIKU # 9

 

My next-door neighbour,

The catholic converter,

Worships exhaust pipes

I RESISTED GETTING A MOBILE PHONE

I resisted getting a mobile phone for a long time

But I gave in and was told I’d never regret it

Now if I leave home without the thing, I panic

And I have to turn around to go back and get it

WHO LED THE ISRAELITES

 

Who led the Israelites?

On their collective toeses

Through the semi-permeable

Membrane? It was Osmoses

MY GRANDCHILDREN LIVE IN THE CITY

 

My grandchildren live in the city

And they seem to be happy there

The youngest just started at cursery

That’s where small kids learn to swear

OUR STAR SPRINTER IS NOT A LOOKER

 

Our star sprinter is not a looker

But that doesn’t bother us

We still cheer him to the rafters

But we do call him Fastidious

OMNIBUS ETIQUETTE

 

“When I was on the bus with Dad,

He told me to give up my seat to a lady”

A little boy told his mum, "good boy"

You were right to listen to your daddy”

“But mum you don’t understand”

He said “I was sitting on daddy's knee”   

CERTIFICATION SMALL PRINT

Kate asked, “What are you doing?”   

And her husband replied “Nothing”

“But you’ve been studying our

Marriage certificate for an hour”

He said “Well to be honest Kate

I was looking for the expiration date”
