The Flea Circus was in town
And a Dog was keen to go
So he bought himself a ticket
As a result, he stole the show

THE FLEA CIRCUS WAS IN TOWN
MEETING BENEATH THE CLOCK
Beneath the clock, I waited expectantly
Awaiting my blind date, a little
nervously
He’s late but I don’t mind, at least
not yet,
No doubt he’ll have a good reason, I
bet.
He’s here at last and only an hour
late
A good-looking man so worth the wait?
Clear blue eyes and his smile is
terrific
Oh but his breath could stop the
traffic
Nobody’s perfect and he has a kind
face
And he’s booked at an exclusive
place
The restaurant looks fine, very expensive,
Alas appearances were definitely deceptive
The food was poor, and service
shambolic
His conversation dull and
monosyllabic
Drinking to excess and slobbering
food
His table manners nothing short of
rude
His drinking drove me around the bend
I couldn’t wait for the evening to
end
The bill arrived and I was asked to
pay half
I replied flatly “you’re having a
laugh”
He leapt to his feet exploding with
fury
But fell backwards into the shrubbery
I threw him a look of contempt and
disdain
Embarrassed, I left saying “never again”
And “of course a blind date would go
amiss,
I can’t believe I shaved my legs for
this”
COFFEE CONUNDRUM
Coffee, Black, that’s all I crave
Nothing fancy, just Black Coffee
Not Latte, nor Macchiato
Cappuccino or even Espresso
But now I’m told by Baristas
It’s wrong to ask for Black Coffee,
Though often without verbalizing,
Instead, it’s with a
disapproving look,
Apparently, I want an Americano
Well, I won’t play their
stupid game
So now if I want a Black Coffee
I order Coffee without milk
A PARROT SAT ON A CUSTODY CHAIR
A Parrot sat on a custody chair
And continually prattled on
In fact he sang like a canary
So he was a real Stool Pigeon

ARE YOU WEARING NOVELTY GLASSES?
Are you wearing novelty glasses?
Did you buy them as a
kind of remedy?
Well if nothing else
they should
Improve your
observational comedy
