A BRIDGE TOO FAR

 

A truck driver was driving along

At a furious rate

When the "Low Bridge Ahead." Sign

Appeared just too late

He braked hard but got stuck

And traffic backed up for miles

Then a traffic cop arrived

Got out of his car and smiles

The cop said “did you get stuck”?

Treating him like a fool

“No, I was delivering this bridge

When I ran out of fuel"

SENIOR APPEARANCE

 

Time may be a great healer

As people often say

But time is a lousy beautician

Is all I have to say

A WHALE OF A TALE

 

Little Maya was talking to her teacher About Jonah and the Whale

Her teacher said it was physically impossible and it was just a tale

Little Maya insisted to her teacher Jonah was swallowed by a Whale

Her teacher reiterated it was not possible and that it was just a tale

The Little Maya said "I will ask Jonah When I get to heaven."

Irritated the teacher replied “what if Jonah didn’t go to heaven”

“What if Jonah went to hell instead how will you ask him then?”

Little Maya smiled and then she said “Well you can ask him then"

PICTURE THIS

 

The school had been photographed

All of the children and all the staff

The proofs had come back promptly

And the teacher’s task was simply

Persuading them to buy a copy then

"Just think how nice it will be when

You will be able to look at it one day

When you are all grown up and say,

'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or

‘that’s Michael, he's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back then said

"And there's the teacher, she's dead."

DON’T LET MUM

When you are a child

You will soon discover

That when your Mum

Is in a mood with your father

It’s a bad idea to let her

Brush your hair ever

SENIOR WISDOM

 

Wisdom comes with age

Is a saying that is sage

What isn’t always known

Age sometimes comes alone

LIFESTYLE CHOICE

 

The experts tell us,

Which makes me a little uneasy

We are what we eat

So, I’m fast cheap and easy
