IT’S THE QUIZ OF THE WEEK # 1

 

I laugh in the face of quiz shows

With their supercilious so and so’s

I scoff at the “Mastermind” chair

And “Who wants to be a millionaire”

I spit on Ken Bruce’s “Pop Master”

The “Brain of Britain” or “The Krypton factor”

The only quiz worthy of its name

Is the excellent “Keithy’s guessing game”

 

Keith is a guy that I work with and he entertains us with his amusing daily quiz, Keithy’s guessing game.

It’s predominantly a music quiz but invariably branches off into other areas.

IS THERE ANY GREATER PLACE ON EARTH?

 

When June comes fourth upon us

Is there any greater place on earth?

Than England’s green and pleasant land

Surely nowhere of similar worth

 

When the breeze gently stirs the grass

And the sun is in the clear blue sky

Is there any greater place on earth?

You could look abroad, but why?

BALDY LOCKS AND THE THREE HAIRS

 

Baldy locks may be very rich

He may even be a millionaire

But Baldy locks is unpleasant

And he will never share

Don’t ever approach him

If you don’t want to hear him swear

If you fall beneath his gaze

You must say a little prayer

Don’t venture to close

Never stray into his lair

Don’t try to converse with him

You won’t elicit any cares

The only things he cares about

Are his three remaining hairs

HEALTH WARNING

 

How can they say smoking is bad for you?

It’s a lot of old tosh in my personal view

All my family smoked since they were nippers

And after all smoking has cured my kippers

NEWSY, NEWSY

 

Newsy, newsy

Suzy the Floozy

(Not very choosy)

Met Boozy Susie

(Always woozy)

Then had a twosie

In the Jacuzzi

Floozy and Woozy

Then got all Oozy

And decidedly bluesy

Before Suzy the Floozy

(Not very choosy)

And Boozy Susie

(Always woozy)

Got a bit snoozy

Twosie Suzie’s

Newsy, newsy

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 12

 

Jack and Jill

Went up the hill

To spend some time with each other

Jack failed to rise

Jill raised her eyes

Then went off to find his big brother

With a happy heart and a smile

I gladly take the time to send

Fondest wishes in appreciation

Of the most special of friends
