A Humourous Collection # 12

PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY

He was blessed most verily
With a photographic memory
It was never developed sadly

THE HARDER THEY FALL

A universal truth of worth
On which you can truly depend
If they get too big for the britches
They’ll be exposed in the end

FIRST SIGNS OF AGEING

She looked in the mirror
Then she started to cry
She had seen her first grey hair
And she thought she'd dye

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE - ACUPUNCTURE

When you finish the treatment
You feel like number one
I would certainly recommend it
Acupuncture is a jab well done

CITY OF ANGELS

The smog sits over Los Angeles
On another California day
But when the smog finally lifts
U.C.L.A.

A SEISMIC SHIFT

An eminent professor thought
Her earthquake theory was sound
But soon found her knowledge
Was on very shaky ground

WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS

With marriage she got a mixture
Of happiness and stress
A husband and a companion
And a new name and a dress

SPIRITUOUS

Pursuing phantoms
Came in the night

Making me take flight

With a Chaser

Though spirituous liquors’
Have their merits

They were no defence
Against evil spirits

IT WAS HALLOWEEN AND

It was Halloween and
We were on our way to a party
They were both dressed as vampires
And I was Professor Moriarty

We stopped at the supermarket
But didn’t have any cash
So we thought we’d steal some booze
Then make a dash

The bottles we wanted
Were on the very top of the racks
Which we couldn’t reach
So I had to stand on their backs

Once I had the bottles
Dracula hid them under his cape
And without drawing attention
We casually made our escape

But we were caught on CCTV
A very clear image by all accounts
I was charged with shoplifting
On two counts

ARE YOU WEARING HALLOWEEN HOSIERY?

Are you wearing Halloween hosiery?
Phwor are you going to let me see
Oh how they cling to the shape of you

Oh yes I like them very much
Perhaps I might have a touch
Oh you are a proper tease
Would you let me if I said please?

ARE YOU WEARING HALLOWEEN TIGHTS? # 2

Are you wearing Halloween tights?
Oh how they are exciting me
Adorned with a festive motif
What a Halloween this will be

ARE YOU WEARING HALLOWEEN STOCKINGS? # 2

Are you wearing Halloween stockings?
With a wicked witch motif
Along those long festive garlands
How I wish to trace each relief
Along each luscious limber leg
An ascent exquisitely brief
To reach the Halloween treat
Beyond the wicked witch motif
ARE YOU WEARING HALLOWEEN DRAWERS?

Are you wearing Halloween drawers?
I would like a look at yours
I bet a pound to a penny
You’re not wearing any
There we have it at last
You are as I thought bare arsed
Of course it makes you look loose
Even if you have an excuse
Well yes it would be regarded as a treat
And not just down your street

NO MANS LAND

No mans land,
A desolate place
An unforgiving place
Where stout hearts
Chill and falter
To glimpse at hell

Doom awaits us there
On that alien field
Where death falls like rain
In shrapnel shards
And bullets speak
Of whispered demise

No mans land,
A desolate place
Where men drown
In mud, blood and tears
Blood shed for country
Tears shed for kin

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A PANCAKE

There’s nothing like a pancake
With lemon curd spread on
And no greater disappointment
When it turns out to be Dijon

THE DOVE OF PEACE

The dove of peace
Flying on lordly wings
Delivered an olive branch
Which delivered the world

A Little Sport

I LIKE THE SPORTING BANTER

I like the sporting banter
Surrounding sporting Rivalry
But there is a fine line
Separating it from tribalry

GOLF MODE

A man got on the bus
And sat down next to Bimbette
He smiled warmly at her
And briefly their eyes met

Full of golf balls
His bulging front trouser pockets
Caught her attention
Her eyes almost left their sockets

He said "its golf balls."
And Bimbette said “Oh”
Then continued, "Does it hurt
As much as tennis elbow?"

The Love Selection # 7

THE FLAME WAS EXTINGUISHED

Guttering slowly to its end
The flame was extinguished
A fire once white hot
Headed toward extinction
As passions cool
In the diminishing heat
Of the sombre ashes
Red fades to grey
To leave despairingly
Loves dying embers
Its flame long extinguished

SALT ‘N’ PEPPER HEADED LADY FAIR

All I can do is stand and stare
At the salt ‘n’ peppered lady fair
The woman with the greying hair
Oh beautiful lady standing there
With tresses of salt ‘n’ pepper hair
Please be the answer to my prayer

HOW VIVIDLY I RECALL

How vividly I recall
Seeing you standing there
Dressed in white silk
I still feel the despair
Watching the woman I love
Stood for all to see
Making her vows
To a man who wasn’t me
AFTER AN AFFAIR

After an affair
All too brief
Barely any more
Than an aperitif
She stole my heart
Like a common thief
To leave me
Alone in my grief
