ARE YOU WEARING A LEEK?

 

Are you wearing a leek?

The Welsh national emblem

An aromatic little symbol

Displayed out of patriotism

ARE YOU WEARING A DAFF?

 

Are you wearing a daff?

The Welsh floral emblem

A pretty yellow symbol

Displayed out of patriotism

ARE YOU WEARING A DAFFODIL?

 

Are you wearing a daffodil?

The Welsh floral emblem

A pretty yellow symbol

THE NINE MUSES OF THE ARTS – THALIA (MUSE OF COMEDY)

 

The nine muses

Daughters of Zeus

Inspiring of mortals

And nurturers of the arts

The eighth was,

The divine Thalia,

Flourishing, in bloom,

Was the muse of comedy and idyllic poetry

A comic mask in her hand

The praises of Thalia, rustic goddess

And in her songs flourish through time

PUT DOWN # 32

 

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

Before he has chance to deliver

His pickup line, get in quick

And say “I see you've chosen today

To humiliate yourself in public”

THE COURTING RULE

 

When I was courting

Many years ago

I had a golden rule

Which I liked to follow

This ruled applied

To certain criteria

Namely that the girl

Should live in the same area

In extreme cases

A short bus ride away

As a general rule

Only one street away

But preferably

In the same street, or

In a perfect world

The house next door

My kids have no such rule

And don’t date girls in our road

In fact they won’t even date

A girl in our post code

MULTITASKING MAIDENS

Women are supposedly very good at multitasking

Men are not, which allegedly is our biggest crime

But if women are truly capable of multitasking

Why can’t they have a headache and sex at the same time?
