THE FINAL RECKONING

 

As she sat by his bedside

As his life ebbed away

His eyes filled with tears

And she heard him quietly say

 

“All through the bad times

You’ve been with me

When I lost my job

You were there to support me

When the business went under

You stood by me

When we lost the house

You stood beside me

When my health started failing

You were still beside me

 

“Do you know something love?”

“What darling?” she said thru the tears

“I've come to the conclusion

You’re a Jonah dear”

WOULD YOU MARRY AGAIN?

A wife asked her husband

“Would you marry again? If I died?"

"No, I would definitely not"

The husband lied

 

“Good. I wouldn’t want you

To get another spouse

Or have another woman

Living in my house”

 

“Or using my golf clubs

At the club on ladies’ day”

“Well,” he said “don’t worry

She’s left-handed anyway."

A COMFORTER

 

A comforter is a form of bedding

The modern example is a duvet

Or perhaps a continental quilt, 

An eiderdown is best so they say

But I think that you’re the best

Comforter by a very long way

WHO LOVES US?

 

Who loves us without condition?

Who loves us in their admonition?

Who loves us despite the dirt?

Who do we go to when we’re hurt?

Who shares in all our joys?

Who buys us the best toys?

Who keeps us warm and fed?

Who would prefer a puppy instead?

Who cheers us up when we’re sad?

Who else but mum and dad

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 104

 

Mary had a little lamb

It died but she wasn’t sad

She did love her little lamb

But she really loved kebabs

ARE YOU WEARING THERMALS?

 

Are you wearing thermals?

To keep all your bits nice and cosy

Fitting from neck and wrists

All the way down to your toesies

I’m sure it’s a sight worth seeing

I wouldn’t mind a good nosy

THE LARGE HUNG-OVER NORTHERN ELK

 

The morning after the night before

When his head is like a helter-skelta

The large hung-over northern Elk

Has to reach for the Elka-seltza
