21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 413

 

Doctor Foster

Went to Gloucester

But the police followed

As he was an imposter

ARE YOU WEARING TARTY GARB?

 

Are you wearing tarty garb?

Well, I will say this for a start

You might well get picked up

But no one wants to date a tart

IF HELEN WAS THE FACE

 

If Helen was the face

That launched a thousand ships

Then Paris was the dick

Who caused Troy’s apocalypse

HIS LIFE WAS LIKEN

 

His life was liken

To a candles flame

But his flickering glow

Did not sputter or gutter

For his tapers story

Was to burn in all his glory

Though in short duration

It was an intense light

But the flame that burns

Twice as bright,

Burns half as long

I THINK IT’S PROBABLY A MYTH

 

I think it’s probably a myth

Regarding multitasking women

Like the Loch Ness Monster or

Shy retiring used car salesmen

BURNING AWAY

 

Once lit the candle of life burns

Hour by hour, day by day

As the candle's wax melts away,

the hours of your life melt with it

A peaceful quiet life

Produces a gentle flickering light

But burning the candle at both ends.

Causes a tongue of flame

But by flicker or blaze

The hours of your life will burn

THE MOST PERFECT SUMMER DRINK # 1

The most perfect drink

To quench a thirst, without fail

On a hot summers day

Is a cool glass of ginger ale
