HAPPY BIRTHDAY # 9

Congratulations and felicitations

But don’t drink too much at the celebration

As you may think you can sit chatting

With the opposite sex without spitting 

PUT DOWN # 12

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

“Your face must turn a few heads”

May be one of his attacks

So just reply to him

“Yours must turn a few stomachs”

LITERARY DOCTORATE

 

“Oh doctor, doctor

You must help me

I have been afflicted

Most horribly

I keep quoting

William Topaz McGonagall”

The Doc replied

“We can’t help you at all”

“Oh, doctor why

Can’t you treat me for it”?

He replied

“Because this is the burns unit”

OUT IN THE COUNTRY, AGAIN

 

When driving the byways

Travelling far and wide

Whether the lakes or the peaks

Or any of the countryside,

One thing that’s guaranteed

To frustrate the driving clan

And cause them to become irate

Is to get stuck behind a caravan

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
