What’s That You Say?

Rare Talent

Beware of the Dog

Lying in Lyme

A True Friend

What’s That You Say?

A man who was hearing impaired

Didn’t hear what was really declared,

When asked, “How’s your bladder?”

Thought he heard ‘ladder’,

“It’s out,” he said, “Getting repaired.”

Rare Talent

There was a young boy named DeRose

Who was constantly picking his nose,

His friends didn’t care

And thought it quite rare

That he did it with only his toes.

Beware of the Dog

A snarling old dog called Killamutt

Encircled a man from Connecticut,

“If that thing takes a bite

I’m sure by tonight

I’ll be aching and shaking and celibate.”

Lying in Lyme

There was an old man from Lyme

Who lied almost all of the time,

He said, “Once at noon

I invented the moon

And I did it when I was just nine.”

A True Friend

A boy told his friend, “If I cough

My head will fall off in a trough.”

His friend said, “Don’t worry,

I’ll come in a hurry

And save it ‘case mine should fall off!”
