PICKUP # 7

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

“There is something wrong

With my mobile phone miss”

You might well begin

“you’re not in my contacts list”

THE BANK OF ENGLAND ANNOUNCED

 

The Bank of England Announced

In an article they wrote

Jane Austen Will appear

On the new ten pound note

 

I don’t like to put a damper

On the decision but you see

This decision means that

She will be the “Tenner” Lady

MY WIFE IS A JAILER

 

My wife is a jailer

And in a fit of passion

I made advances

To get my marital ration

 

In the ensuing melee

I became entangled

In her bunch of keys

As they dangled

 

I begged for assistance

But she just scoffed

And in the end

She just fobbed me off

I LOST MY THESAURUS TODAY

 

I lost my thesaurus today

It was after the exam

I can’t find the words to describe

How upset I am

THIS MORNING’S BREAKFAST NEWS

 

This morning’s Breakfast News

Live from Downing Street

On the rolling news that never stops

I have learned in the last few minutes

That the Prime Minister had toast

While Nick Clegg had coco pops

MY DAD HAD TO HAVE HIS CAT PUT DOWN

 

My Dad had to have his cat put down

It was all terribly sad

He didn’t find that the lethal injection

Was all that bad

But what the vet said afterwards

Really upset my Dad

“That’s the first of the injections

Out of the way Mr Plaid

Only another eight to go”

Which was when Pop went mad

I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT FARMING

 

I was always told that Farming

Was a terribly tough way of life

Well, I haven’t found that to be the case

And nor has Audrey my wife

We were told by almost everyone

We were making a big mistake

But we chose to be Wind Farmers

And honestly, it’s a piece of cake
