I HAD BREAKFAST WITH AN ORNITHOLOGIST

 

I had breakfast with an Ornithologist

And I thought the waiter made a mistake

But it turned out it was me who was wrong

He really had ordered some Corn Crake

ARE YOU WEARING BLUE LIPSTICK?

 

Are you wearing blue lipstick?

Then you must be a Dutch chick

Because I’ve heard the song Ma’am

About blue lips from Amsterdam

APPLE ARE BUILDING A NEW HQ

 

Apple are building a new HQ

Its secret design, nobody knows

But one thing we know for sure

The office won’t have windows

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 330

 

If wishes were horses,

Beggars would ride.

If turnips were watches,

I would wear one by my side.

Or buy a knock off

From the Veg market

JANUARY BLUES

 

I hate the month of January

Every single day from New Year’s day

To the 31st day

I hate the month of January

With every fibre of my being

You may say it’s just the January blues

That colours my views        

But it’s much deeper than that.

It’s always such a long depressing month

With dreary weather and miserable people

It’s the inevitable aftermath

That follows a joyful Christmas

It’s going back to work to the same depressing job

You so happily left behind you on Christmas Eve

It’s the empty bank account

And the look ahead at the five long weeks till payday

Its New Year’s resolutions and not keeping them

I hate the month of January

From day one, New Year’s Day

With its reminder of things to come

Another bloody awful year ahead

January fills me with dread

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION # 1

 

I was separated from my wife

Due to my serial infidelity

And found myself in bed again

With her best friend Felicity

It was on New Year’s Day

And Felicity asked me

“Did you make a resolution?

What was it? Go on tell me”

I replied “Not to be unfaithful

Ever again to my wife Pru”

As she climbed onto me, she asked

“How’s that working out for you?”

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION # 2

 

I made a New Year’s resolution

To stop having one-night stands

Which would be easier to do

If second dates were in my plans
