****************************************


"Poor Polly"

A sculptor had a parrot that he kept

perched on a rock.

One day the parrot up & died

and he went into shock.

He carved a mighty statue of his pet

that weighed a tonne,

then put it on a pedestal and

called it "Polygon".


****************************************


"Low key"

I said "Dad can a thing be lost

if I know where it's at ?"

He said "course not son,

whatever made you think of that"?

"A minor accident" I said,

" But I thought you should know

I dropped our car keys down the well

about an hour ago".


****************************************


" More keys "

The Army manual clearly states

that soldiers wont get far

unless they have "Kharkis'

which they will need to start their car.


****************************************


"Well well"

My grandson's fallen down a well

were trying to work out how

That book I got on raising kids

will come in handy now


****************************************


" Hobo"

The cockney language is unique

not understood by some

for instance "Oboe" is a word

that helps describe a "Bum"


****************************************


" Eye to eye "

"Pasteurize " a french word

that is known to you & me.

It simply means something that is

" Just too far to see "


****************************************


"Taking ways"

My aunt has" Kleptomania".

It didn't help a bit

when the doc said

"Are you taking anything for it ?"


****************************************


" Lost & found "

Where can elephants be found ?

my mind this thought has crossed

but then again ,they're so darned big

they're very seldom lost.


****************************************


"He's got to go "

Charlie's boss says "Mate ,your late

it's quarter after ten,

you should have come at eight

And charles says " Why!

what happened then?"


****************************************


"Seedy"

I have a budgie with no teeth

to help him with his needs

and even though he's rather slow

he usually suckseeds.


****************************************


"Foot problem"

My cousin was arrested

for having 2 flat feet

and criminal trespass became the charge

he had to beat.

They didn't buy his alibi,

his future's looking dim.

The flat wherein they found his feet

did not belong to him.


****************************************


"Ooh Poo"

Queen victoria when young

got cow dung on her shoes

she didn't think it funny and said

" We are not amoosed "


****************************************


" Eggsactely"

Humpty dumpty had a reputation

as a clown

and everybody knew that

he was always falling down

his other interest it appears

was searching out new flora.

He'd hoped some day that he could say

That he was an "eggsplorer"


****************************************


"Return to sender"

If you say "All things are possible "

it's you I would implore

to strap on skis ,then try to pass

through a revolving door


****************************************


"New Trainer"

"There's a light at the end of the tunnel"

the optimists exclaim.

But pessimists will then reply

"It's just another train"
