I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE SOMEBODY

 

I always wanted to be somebody,

Which proved to be impolitic

Because I realize that maybe

I should have been more specific.

DYSLEXIC, AGNOSTIC, INSOMNIAC

 

Dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac

His traits were a catalogue

And he stayed up all night

Deciding if there really is a dog

DR. PEPPER IS A DR.

 

Dr. Pepper is a Dr.

That’s the twist

But what kind,

I guess he’s a fizzicist

A YOUNG MAN GOT MUGGED

 

A young man got mugged

By a magician last year

He took a wallet, a watch,

And the coin from behind his ear

THE AIRPLANE WAS INVENTED

 

The Airplane was invented

By an optimist

While the parachute was

Invented by a pessimist

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 352

 

Three wise men of Gotham

This is something of a choker

When it turns out that they are

Penguin, Riddler and the joker

WHINGING HOLIDAY MAKERS # 6

 

We went all-inclusive and booked

A day out to a water park, with flumes

But no-one thought to tell us we needed

To take our own swimming costumes
