Are you wearing black?
Yes, it’s a funeral I
know
But underneath the
garb
Is that all black
also?
No, it’s not
irreverent
Picturing you in lacy
black
There was no bigger
letch
Then you’re dead uncle

Are you wearing black?
Yes, it’s a funeral I
know
But underneath the
garb
Is that all black
also?
No, it’s not
irreverent
Picturing you in lacy
black
There was no bigger
letch
Then you’re dead uncle
Jack
You’ve gone commando, haven’t you?
Don’t shake your head
I know it’s true
That blushing vividly
betrays you
And that’s only one of
many clues
I have a clinical eye
for what I peruse
And I can see dandruff
on your shoes
When I say, "I love you", I mean it.
Look into my eyes and
believe it
Look into my heart and
feel it
I don’t like swimming in the sea
I don’t care what you
say it’s not for me
It’s not that I’m
scared of sharks or eels
Or that I don’t like
how a jelly fish feels
It’s not even because
of stone fish stings
Or the flotsam and
jetsam the tide brings
You may think my
phobia quite absurd
But I can’t be swimming along with a turd
A fact remains a fact
Its logic remains intact
Its basic premise is
unflawed
Even if the fact is
ignored
My pastime is, that I like to Fish
I’d do it all the time
if I got my wish
But my wife hates me
doing it
And she wants me to
stop doing it
I say to her it’s just
my hobby
She says it’s just
plain nobby
I say potato she says potaeto
I say tomato she says
tomaeto
I say it’s just an
innocent pastime
She says next time
should be the last time
I say it is about the
quiet peace
She says it has to
cease
I say it’s
appreciating the stillness
She says it’s a mental
illness
She says I need to get
a life
I think I just need a
different wife
When toward my bed I stumble
My wife greets me with a grumble
“Hello, my little apple crumble”
I say as in her nightgown I fumble
My advances are met with a mumble
“Dearest, my desire is quite humble
A little bit of rough and tumble”
Her reply is yet another mumble
But we did have a Christmas fumble
