72 Miles From The Sea

Friday, 30 June 2023

As two monkeys were getting into the bath

The first monkey had prepared for them

And the second one said: “Oo, oo, aah, ahh”

The first retorted “Put some cold in then”

I heard about the

Claustrophobic astronaut

Who wanted some space

Are you wearing a denim shirt?

Well if I may be so bold

Whether it’s in fashion or not

You manage to make it look old

Are you wearing a cockade hat?

With red, white and blue on

I hope you’re going to a party

And you don’t think you’re Napoleon

Are you wearing a fat suit?

Well that shape can’t be ignored

But wait it’s not a suit is it?

I recognise you now Mr Blackford

I was told by a countryman that

The best way to catch a Rabbit

Is to hide among the bushes

And make a noise like a Carrot

The phrase “Rags to riches”

Is a very interesting idiom

As historically garments went

From the Rich to the ragged
