HOSPITAL DUDE

 

The coolest dude at the hospital

Is the ultra sound guy

But when he is on holiday

It’s the hip replacement guy

THE ANGEL OF THE NORTH

 

The angel of the north

Standing tall and erect

That androgynous monument

To the politically correct

Disproportionate in aspect

On a hill it was put

But it has sunk in the ground

To the depth of a foot

Definitely no room

For complacency though

As there are still another

Sixty-five feet to go

PC COFFEE TIME

 

Black coffee

That’s all I crave

Nothing fancy

Just coffee, black

Not latte

Skinny or otherwise

Not espresso

Cappuccino

Mocca

Mocca choca

Macchiato,

Americano

Just coffee, black

But now I’m told

It’s not PC

To order black coffee

Apparently

To be perfectly PC

When ordering black coffee

I must request

Coffee without milk

ASK A STUPID QUESTION

A local reporter

Asks an old lady at her leisure

“What part of being 104

Gives you most pleasure”?

She simply replied to him

“No peer pressure” 

50 SOMETHING

So, you’re 50 something

No need to feel so glum

True you’re no spring chicken

And you’re the mom of a mom

You’re nearer the next milestone

Than you are the last one

But don’t fret about the numbers

Celebrate each day with aplomb

You truly are now a “WOW”

A “wiser older woman”

See the positive in the situation

Try to hold onto that if you can

Don’t think of the loss of youth

Focus on the gaining of wisdom

And if you believe all this rubbish

Then you really are undone

TERMINAL CONCEIT

 

Do you hold yourself in high esteem?

Are you the answer to your dreams?

Then you probably go through life, like as not

Thinking you are slicker than snot

Served hot on a silver platter

You really think that you actually matter

While in truth you’re likened to a cold bogey

Dried out, smeared and unsightly

Stuck to a “pound shop” paper plate

This is a truer reflection of your state

So take heed of this little ditty

And learn a little humility

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 7

 

I had a little hen,

The prettiest ever seen,

Which happily made

For such versatile cuisine
