HOLMES HAD OVERDOSED

 

Holmes told Watson that he had overdosed

Which caused something of a shock

Holmes then told him it was on Imodium 

And Watson exclaimed “No shit, Sherlock”

IF I DISCOVERED A NEW SPECIES

 

If I discovered a new species,

An animal to suit the agrarians

I would have to name it Quorn

To really mess with vegetarians

INSIDE EVERY RUSSIAN DOLL

 

Inside every Russian Doll

There’s another Russian Doll

And yet more without doubt

All of them screaming to get out

IN OUR AMATEUR DRAMATICS GROUP

 

In our Amateur Dramatics group

I was performing in a pantomime

Which was actually rather crappy

And I argued with one of the dwarfs

I’m don’t know which one he was

But I know for sure he wasn’t happy

MY FATHER WAS A MAGICIAN

 

My father was a magician

Well, not really a magician

But he did disappear a lot

To avoid the law like as not

CREATIVE DIFFERENCES

 

I broke up with my girlfriend,

Creative differences apparently,

I thought I was rather creative

But she thought differently

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)

“Young Frankenstein” is a comedy, written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder, based on characters from the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Directed by Mel Brooks.

A young neurosurgeon, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous Dr. Victor von Frankenstein.

He has always tried to distance himself from his crazy grandfather and his insane obsession with reanimation, but he nonetheless leaves his fiancé Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) and travels to Transylvania.

When he reaches the castle he finds a funny hunchback called Igor (Marty Feldman), a pretty lab assistant named Inga (Teri Garr) and the old housekeeper, Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman).

Young Frankenstein also discovers the book where the mad doctor described his reanimation experiments, and he suddenly changes his mind about his grandfather and creates a monster (Peter Boyle).

A brilliant film, with Mel Books and Gene Wilder at their very best, shot in monochrome to capture the atmosphere of the classics of the horror genre, and with fine cameos from Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp, Richard Haydn as Herr Falkstein and Gene Hackman as the blind Hermit.
