There were quite a few and I had to pay !

All five courses were first class,

All the leftovers I frugally did amass.

"Waiter please may I have a bag  to take the leftovers home for my pet ?"

"Ooo!"blurted out my daughter,"What sort are we going to get ?"

Sure enough it was there ,the pilot nervously did cough.

 

The photographer  shouted ,"Quick lets get there !"

The pilot looked nervous but they were soon in the air.

The photographer took some wonde...

Being an only child

Secure in being the main object of a parent's love,

No jostling for position to win and get above--

A sibbling who is the apple of his mother's eyes,

Who sleeps in the best bed and gets her attention when he cries.

 

Often it's the tiny moments in life that catch you by the throat,

As friends in school about their many sibblings loudly gloat.

An older sibbling would ...

Don't drink and drive !!!

The unlucky vicar

 

Have you heard about the unlucky vicar?

Who drove down the motorway with too much liquor.

Shame on you sir,you should  set an example,

Nearly four times over the limit after giving a sample.

 

Thinking God was on your side you jumped in your car,

Thee who spent too much time at the bar.

The Almighty was to deliver a terrible blow.

Changing heads

When Fred died,Dorris had a lot to do,

Fred's final wish was to be buried in blue.

When she went to the undertaker's he was dressed in black,

Had Fred been alive he would have given her some flack.

 

She explained the situation to the kind young man,

He said ,"Leave it with me I'll do the best I can."

She returned next day,"Oh what a good do!

An eye catching experience

Jim lived in a flat on the first floor,

He had to close the window it was going to pour.

He felt the rain as he held out his hand,

As he did this a glass eye into his fingers did land.

 

"Hello has anyone up there lost a glass eye?"

"Oh its mine !"A lady with relief did sigh.

I'll make you a sandwich and a cup of te...

With holes in his shoes and very poorly clad.

The family of five struggled,but the mum really really tried.

 

His mum worked at the hospital,her wage didn't go very far,

They lived on the breadline,walked everywhere,didn't have a car.

His three sisters had made their mum a gift each.

Thank goodness we didn't step in it !! "

Tulisa Contosavlos X factor judge-----an inspiration !

A roller coaster life which started in Camden Town,

A determination to suceed even when she was down.

Never to sit in a corner and give in,

An inspiring young girl displaying a feistiness to win.

Your presence on our screens as a nation we love !

Jacintha Saldanha R.I.P.

A prank so dreadful and mean,

Destroying a life so dedicated and keen.

A tornado whirling through her trusting brain,

A cruel hoax inflicting devastating pain.

 

Two children have lost their loving mum,

A nation in tears sad and numb.

A husband has lost a caring wife,

A dedicated nurse a precious life.

 

Poor soul just doing her job,

A prank that went...

Zip error

Mell was trying to get on the bus but her skirt was to tight,

So she reached behind her,unzipped her skirt to put things right.

No joy,so again she reached behind her and unzipped it a little more,

Still getting nowhere,it was now quite a chore.

Then a robust rugby player picked her up by the waist and gently placed her on the bus.

"How dare you touch my body !"She was angry...

Women bishops swiped off the board !

No controlling women ! So the bible teaches,

The law of equality this now definitely breaches.

A knife-edged vote causing  a massive rift,

Just at a time when the church needed a lift.

The truth is without women bishops, the church will have lost its verve,

And no longer in a position for the people to serve.

Turmoil and sadness on this breaking news.

A superior view

Mother Superior spent a long time in the shower,

One of her nuns said,"There's a blind man to see you,he's been here for an hour."

"Well if he's a blind man  it doesn't really matter,

Send him up and we can have a natter."

She got out of the shower in her birthday suit,

The blind man shocked and embarassed went quite mute.

Brought up in a ghetto ,frequently no food on the table,

A hunger for fame and with a ball was so able.

Drive's Ferraris and referees to the brink.

 

Lives his entire life consumed by rage,

Earns £11 million a year after tax for a wage.

Love is alive

She says,"He doesn't talk to me anymore,

No eye contact,he just looks at the floor.

Shackled to a man who has no feeling,

Who snores to sleep facing the ceiling !"

 

But love has no sell-by-date and is definately alive,

As into the 70's and 80's we now  survive.

The storms of the past we are ready to erase,

As an ageing population we enter a new phase.

They were both short-sighted,couldn't see very far.

They came to some lights and drove right through,

Mary turned to Mark ,her face quite  blue.

And hung onto her handbag with all of her might.

Ready to crawl from head to head,

We feed on blood and round schools panic  send.

For attacking us with nit combs,we think humans are mean !

A contented nit

I am a nit and I live in a teacher's head,

I go with her everywhere,I even sleep in her bed.

I'm a tiny insect just a couple of mills long,

Her scalp is so clean and I'm so proud to belong.

I lay my eggs in her hair sometimes making her scratch,

I once lived in her boyfriend's head but he was no match.

His hair was really thin and his brill cream didn't taste  nice,

They say that opposites attract,

A sense of humour but I've lost my lust.

Like deadly diamorphine through his victims ,the news quickly spread.

Hanged himself,cheating his sentence,no more to tell.

 

Trusted by his patients mainly old and needy,

What made him do it?Was he "death" greedy?

A glutton for killing, enjoying the power,

The lower his price the more thinning he did.

So he put up the scaffolding and set up the planks,

Then prayed at the church and for the job gave his thanks.
