HUMEROUS HAIKU # 2

 

Recently I had

A ballooning holiday

- I put on four stones

OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND

 

As an iconic film Heroine

Livvie graced the silver screen

And in Tinsel Towns heyday

She was a Hollywood queen

 

But Olivia Mary de Havilland

Was born in Tokyo Japan

And aged one hundred and four

She passed away as a Parisian

Star of the celluloid firmament

Is now a star in heaven

 

July 1st 1916 to July 25th 2020

THE POLICE FOUND A BODY

 

A body was found in a drain

That someone tried to hide

The police suspect foul play

And have ruled out Sewercide

SHOPLIFTERS ARE A SCOURGE

 

Shoplifters are a scourge

Stealing goods from the shelves

So, Shoplifters Anonymous

Helps people to help themselves

IF YOU GIVE A MAN A DUCK

 

If you give a man a duck

He’ll eat very well for a day

But if you teach a man to duck

You’ll keep head trauma at bay

THE GREATEST LIES OF LIFE

 

No, your bum doesn’t look big in that

Money isn't everything

How funny, I was just going to call you

I'm only going to put it in a little way

I've never done this before

They’ll ride up with wear

The cheque's in the post

Anticipation is half the fun

This will hurt me more than it hurts you

I promise I won't finish in you

This won't hurt, I promise

No, I can’t see the join

Uh yes, it’s very slimming

WE HAVE DRINKS AT KARATE

 

We have drinks at Karate

But we don’t drink Saki

As the drink of choice

At the Dojo is Kara tea
