THE GIANTS GRANDLY FEAST

 

The Giants grandly feast

In their great dominion

And the favourite delicacy

Among them is pickled minions

I GOOGLED MY SYMPTOMS

 

I Googled my symptoms

As I had an irritated eye

And found Conjunctivitis.com

That’s a site for sore eyes

THE HEART OF A LION

 

My granddad has

The heart of a Lion

And a lifetime ban

From Woburn

WHY DID THE CHICKEN GO TO THE SÉANCE?

 

Why did the chicken go to the séance?

Rather than stay where he resides

The reason he went to the séance

Was so he could reach the other side

MY CROSS EYED TEACHER WAS DISMISSED

 

My cross eyed teacher was dismissed

The governors have no scruples

They said it wasn’t her disability

But that she couldn't control her pupils

PUZZLED AUNTY

 

Bimbette wouldn’t buy

Her niece a jigsaw

For Christmas even though

She’d asked for it before

It was Because it was labelled

6-8 years

So not finishing it in the two week

Holiday was her fear
