This and That!

"Glendaw"

"Glendaw" Glendaw is a poet on line chatters are aware

and in appreciation here's some words I'd like to share.

"Glen ! I've read your latest poems, and i was really smitten

I know you have the gift of gab

from all the things you've written.

Your meter is 'right on', your phrases a delight

the volume of your repertoire just kept me up all night

when your sincere, it's very clear

it comes right from the heart

i'd like to state 'Good onya mate, your master of your art' ".


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


"two up"

There are 2 kinds of lawyers it's true so i wont fudge

there's those who know the law

& then there's those who know the judge.


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


"Dead sure"

Kathy and her mum are walking thru the cemetery

the little girl says "mother can you answer this for me,"

"Can they bury 2 men in a single plot of ground?"

Her mother says "of course not dear"

then Kathy turns around

she says" I beg to differ mum,but i think that they can',

that tombstone says

"Here lies a lawyer and an honest man".


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


"Fools gold"

If a fool and his money are soon parted as they say

how was it that he first got all that money anyway


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


"Sight unseen"

A naked lady hears a sudden knock upon her door

she's headed for the shower at a quarter after four.

she says "whose there?" a voice says

"It's a blind salesman mam,

I have an offer here i'd like to show you if i can"

She thinks "Now will I let him in,i dont wish to be rude

but ,as he's blind ,then he won't mind that i am in the nude

she opens up,says "come inside".

the salesman says "How kind, i've called around to see

if you would like to buy a blind?"


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


"Catnip"

If your cat is smiling and your little chick is gone

there's a chance you'll soon discover

you may have a "Peeping Tom"


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


"cargo"

I had a spot of bother and a lawyer had to call

My creditors were pressing

& my back was to the wall

"We'll get you on your feet", he said

"Now just you wait & see",

And he was right, I had to sell my car

to pay his fee.


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


"Irony"

Elephants are very wrinkled even though they're cute

and so it's always difficult to iron their birthday suit


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


"Who am i?"

A young girl enters hospital but can't recall her name

she has Amnesia that's caused by what affects her brain.

One leg is shorter than the other, so upon her screen

the nurses tape a name card and it simply says "EILEEN"


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


"Great feat"

An inch worm was an English term but now it's been decreed

since Britain has gone metric it's now called a centipede.


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


"Puppy love"

Dad gives daughter puppy that he knows she will adore

then finds her staring at a puddle on the kitchen floor

HE says "Happy birthday darling" he should make you glad

"My pup runneth over" is her answer to her dad.

"Pass it on"

Simians don't have E-mail they cannot get on line

so all their rumours have to pass along the old Apevine


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


"Just passing thru"

Skeleton comes into pub & plops down on a chair

barman says "What can i get you while your sitting there?"

"Ill have a beer ", says bones-

"but more abuse i'd like to stop,

so while your at it could you see if you can find a mop".


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


"Batter"

Alaskan News headlines in nineteen ninety three

"Baby seal walks into club" - another tragedy


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


"Stoned"

Woman tells her neighbour when she meets her at the gate

"Hubby's driving me so nuts i'm starting to lose weight,

so now it's my intention to go live on my own

but i'll just hang around until i lose another stone".
