ARE YOU WEARING SLACKS? # 2

But not the kind of look

The fashion world desire

Who don’t set the world on fire

In order to help out a mechanic friend

My daughter was given a novelty gift

Which really wasn’t intended to confuse

But the look on her face was a picture

When she held a pair of chocolate shoes

I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT A HIJACKED SHIP

 

I heard on the news that a hijacked ship

Had been taken by smiley pirates

The RSPCA were called to an emergency

But unfortunately they didn’t arrive in time

It was reported to police as a copycat crime

“I see deceit in your face” said a wife

Following her husband’s deception

He didn’t help his case when he inferred

It was “a personal reflection”

THE STRUCTURE THAT TOPS THE LIST

 

The structure that tops the list,

By a distance or a smidge

For creating the most tension

Is clearly a suspension bridge
