A LITTLE GIRL’S WARNING

 

A little girl watched her dad dress for a party.

And then she gave her dad a warning

“Daddy, you shouldn't wear that dinner suit”

He asked, “why not?” his curiosity dawning

“Because you know that it always gives

You a bad headache the next morning”

I WAS SCARRED DURING MY FIRST TIME

 

I was scarred during my first time

And made me think I was still a virgin

I thought I was doing fine until she said

Those three dreaded words, “Is it in?”

THERE WAS A FIGHT AT THE CIRCUS

 

There was a fight at the circus

Between a clown and a mugger

The fight didn’t last for long

Once they went for the juggler

THE ANTELOPE AND THE GAZELLE

 

I dreamed one night that an Antelope,

Loved a Gazelle and planned to elope

But at the moment they expected least

A jealous Wildebeest crashed the feast

ARE YOU WEARING A SQUINT?

 Are you wearing a squint?

That’ll be because of the fine print.

I wouldn’t bother reading every bit

There's no way you're going to like it

MY GIRLFRIEND THINKS I'M A STALKER

 

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker

She’s thought it ever since we met

Well, I say girlfriend, I should explain

That, she's not my girlfriend, yet
