AN AGE OLD ADAGE THAT I KNOW

 

An age old adage that I know

States that friends may come and go

But more worrying to calculate

Is that enemies tend to accumulate

THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF! WOLF! WOLF!

 

Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

Was repeatedly heard

But the dominatrix

Had forgotten the safe word

EXPLODING CHEESE

 

Breaking news: there’s been an explosion

At a cheese factory in Weston-Super-Mare

There have been no reports of casualties

Though there was De Brie everywhere

MOUSE HOSTELRY

Mice have very particular tastes

In its society and institutions

So when they choose a Hotel

They normally stay at The Stilton 

SHE WAS NINETY THREE YEARS OLD

 

She was ninety three years old

While he was only ninety one

Not a cross word, but they were

Both deaf when said and done

THE FIRST SIGN IS FORGETTING NAMES

 

The first sign is forgetting names

And that really makes you frown

Then you forget to pull your flies up

Finally, you forget to pull it down

I KNOW I’M GETTING OLD # 1

 

You know you’re getting old

When answering your phone cheerily

There is silence on the other end

And you realize it was on the TV
