PICKUP # 21

 

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

“If I had a star for every time

You brightened my day”

You can say to her

“I'd have a galaxy to display”

WHY DID THE CHICKEN NOT CROSS THE ROAD

 

Why did the chicken not cross the road

And choose instead to commit suicide?

It seems to me to be the wrong approach

If he just wanted to get to the other side

A MAN STOPPED ME IN THE STREET

 

A man stopped me in the street

Which alarmed me from the start

Demanding I apply for a donor card

He was a man after my own heart

THE FIRST TIME I MET MY WIFE

The first time I met my wife,

I didn’t know if it was love

But I knew she was a keeper

As she wore massive gloves 

MY GRANDPARENTS HAVE LOADS OF SAYINGS

 

My grandparents have loads of sayings

“There’s no place like home” being one

But I’ve decided that they’re hypocrites

As they won’t let us put them in one

I HAVE BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED

 

I have been happily married

For five years to my wife Terri

Unfortunately we’ve just celebrated

Our golden anniversary

I WORK FOR A COMPANY

 

I work for a company

Supposedly exploring

But if truth be told

It has me snoring

I drill all day for water

And it’s well boring
