21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 75

 

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

This internet bomb making site

Really is a load of shite

PUT DOWN # 43

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

If he offers you champagne

And celebrates like a winner

Just say to him

"Are you drinking your dinner?"

REVERSE MODE

 

Top super model Bimbette,

It has been disclosed

Has lost her crown

The model has been deposed

 

I TRIED

I tried to win your heart

With every step and stride

With my every waking breath

My troth I fervently plied

Wearing my heart on my sleeve

I let my heart be my guide

But “never in this world”

You disdainfully replied

You killed my love

With your callous amouricide

And you left me broken

When you cast me aside

I gambled and failed

And there was no place to hide

But I didn’t just try and fail

Sadly, I tried and died 

SAY?

I saw a photo of a wheel of Stilton

In a glossy magazine today

And I wondered as the shutter clicked

What the photographer asked it to say 

WISING UP

 

My grandson thinks me a wise man

While my wife thinks otherwise

And my boss thinks I’m a wise guy

Which I think is contrariwise

SENIOR CONVERSE

 

You should not as a general rule

Engage in converse in anyway

With one or more retirees

On almost any given day

Because they have nothing

But time to fill their day

Which they use in short

To think of silly things to say
