WE HAVE NO WEALTH OR TREASURE

 

We have no wealth or treasure

Yet we are rich beyond measure

We have our health and welfare

And have loved ones who care

Our riches cannot be spent

Nor can their great value be lent

Against coin they cannot be compared

For our riches can easily be shared

Our riches are our family and friends

Whose infinite value knows no ends

We have no wealth or treasure

Yet we are rich beyond measure

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 35

 

Two little dicky birds sitting on a wall,

One named Peter, one named Paul.

Fly away Peter, away said Paul,

Don’t come back, this is my wall!

DAVY JONES DISCO

 

If you go to a seafood disco

For a tango and a tussle

Don’t complain about bad luck

If you only pull a muscle

PUT DOWN # 34

 

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

“If you want a good time” he might say

“Then I’m your man”

Just reply to him “Really?

Then I might as well become a lesbian”

DEAD CERTAIN

 

A senior couple were lying in bed one morning.

Just as a new day was dawning

Having had the most perfect nights sleep

Long, restful, undisturbed and deep

 

The old gentleman turned to his wife and asked

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

She lay perfectly still in the same position

“NO! Of course I don’t want a cup of tea”

 

Surprised by her vehemence he asked “Why not?”

She answered, “Because I'm dead”

“What are you talking about? Of course you’re not

What put such a thought in your head?”

 

“It’s no good you arguing with me about it

I have no doubt at all. I am definitely dead,

And that’s it and all about it, because

I woke up this morning and nothing hurts” she said

WHIRLWIND ROMANCE

 

A woman is like a hurricane

Whether your partner or your spouse

When she comes she’s hot and wet

When she leaves she takes half the house

SENIOR FORCAST

 

Since I’ve been retired

I’ve noticed that my hips

Are more accurate forecasters

Than those met office twits
