COMMUNICATION IS A CONSTANT WORRY

 

Communication is a constant worry

And which form works without fail

So is the e-mail of the species

Really more deadly than the mail

AS I’VE GOTTEN OLDER I HAVE FOUND

As I’ve gotten older I have found that

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Which is something of a challenge, plus

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

 

IT'S SCARY WHEN YOU START MAKING

It's scary when you start making,

During any kind of undertaking

The same noises and exclamations

As your coffee making contraption

Mary had a little lamb

Which she named Teagan

And it would live free

Because Mary was a Vegan

DESICCATED WIFE

 

Henry the Eight desiccated his dead wife

Though she had always been a paragon,

Then she was finely chopped and put in a jar

And that’s the tale of Catherine of tarragon

Mary had a little lamb

And she loved that lamb a bunch

But she wasn’t sentimental

So they ate it for Sunday lunch
