A period problem , a pupil problem and a lame excuse

A period problem

 

"Mum,why am I not getting my period I'm nearly sixteen  ?

Jill got hers when she was just thirteen."

The teenager was sadly feeling  missed out.

"You getting a period Bill,will never come about "

 

A pupil problem

 

Tina was a teacher and suffered from stress,

A situation she was keen to redress.

Things became worst when she became cross- eyed,

The headmaster on her progress was disatisfied.

So with the local doctor she was advised to enrol.

"The problem lies with your pupils getting out of control,"

 

A lame excuse

 

Fred was a locksmith and a thief,

Broke into the charity shop Cancer Relief.

While filling his bag full of spoils at the shop.

He was spotted and arrested by a passing cop.

In court he was asked,"What were you doing there at four ?"

"I am a locksmith and made a bolt for the door,

I tripped,sprained my ankle and banged my head ."

"A lame excuse, jail ,locked up for you !" judge said .

As Hammerstein wrote for his song "Bill" in Carousel:
What if he is a she?
Keep them coming, Hugh. They help brighten any day.
P.S. I'm still chuckling over your one about the "no-bell" prize - found elsewhere!

Poor Bill's having trouble with periods
He's wondering what is in store
Then suddenly I realised what was happening
I seem to have read about Bill before ?
