NOT PAYING ATTENSION

 

I was only half listening to the radio

So I’m not sure if I heard right

But I think the gist of it was

“Partly Sunni, but mostly Shi'ite”

I think it was the weather forecast,

Meaning “Persistent rain but occasionally bright”

DIVORCE IS..... # 1

 

Divorce is…

Cathartic, purification

Therapeutically purgative

Like colonic irrigation

IN MY GHIA

 

Wherever I drive my Ford Ghia

Whether it be far of near

No matter if the roads are clear

In my mirror to the rear

A BMW’s Teutonic sneer

Will almost always appear

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 47

 

Baa, baa black sheep, have you any wool?

No sir, no sir, we don’t have any wool!

Are you a nutter? Are you insane?

This is the butchers, the wool shops down the lane.

BEWARE THE IDES…

Caesar and Brutus were talking one day

About the phones with the most cachet

They discussed the best deals of the day

Then friend Brutus thought to say

“What network are you with by the way?”

Caesar promptly replied “O2 Brute” 

STUDENT PROTESTS # 2

 

Most of them missed an episode of countdown

Some left home halfway through cash in the attic

What could have stirred them from their apathy?

Something momentous or, earth shatteringly dramatic

 

Well sadly nothing noble or for the common good

It was just an excuse for them to break the law

The Nett result is an even greater burden on the public purse

Ensuring the next generation will pay even more

SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS

When I was on an Alaskan island

I was sure I had seen an optician

Just as plain as the nose on my face

But it turned out to be an optical Aleutian
