PICKUP # 20

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

“Hey I'm no photographer”

You can say to her

“But I think I can definitely

Picture us together”


DIFFERENCES # 3

 

The difference between Santa Claus

And a serial philanderer, as it goes

Is in essence a total lack of self-control

Because Santa stopped at three ho’s

HUMEROUS HAIKU # 1

 

I heard about the

Claustrophobic astronaut

Who wanted some space

A SEPTUAGENARIAN PIRATE CAPTAIN

 

A septuagenarian Pirate Captain

Sailed the warm waters off Haiti

And on his eightieth birthday

He said to his crew, "Aye matey"

The sequel to Die Hard follows on from the terrifying events in Los Angeles, NYPD cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is about to go through it all again as he goes on another Christmas vacation to meet his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) and he is in Washington where he is at the airport meeting Holly off the LA flight.

As part of that plan they have seized control of all the control systems affecting all aircraft, with no runway lights available, and no means to contact them, all aircraft have to remain in the air, with fuel running low, so if McClane is going to save the day again he will need to be fast.

It’s another great action thriller with Willis still at the top of his game.

POLYGAMY

 

I was stunned when I was accused of Polygamy

It made me drop the bags I was holding

But then I was relieved to find it meant bigamy

And not as I thought the art of parrot-folding
