I’M SOMETHING OF A JOKER # 6
I’m something of a joker
In fact I’m a comedy clown
I have a primatology joke
As I like to monkey around

If you never went to church
But watched songs of praise
That might not be good enough
When under St Peters gaze
OUR LOCAL CHURCH IS RAISING MONEY
Our local church is raising money
For restoration to the steeple
Donors make an online payment

HE WAS RUNNING AN ELECTRIC FIRE ALL DAY
He was running an electric fire all day
And he’d never been so extravagant before
But he said he wasn’t worried about the cost
Because he borrowed it from next door
HUMEROUS HAIKU # 11
Exaggerations
Went up a million percent
Last year so I heard
I THINK MEN ARE LIKE WEAPONS
I think men are like weapons
Because if you keep one
Around the house sooner or later

Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy
I admitted to my wife Dot
In reply she said chillingly
Not while I’m alive you’re not

SHE WAS NINETY THREE YEARS OLD
She was ninety three years old
While he was only ninety one
Not a cross word, but they were

If I said my dog ran ten miles,
And not so his legs were stretched,
But to retrieve his favourite stick,

An albino orang-utan
That the indigenous people call

Cats enjoy a drink
And the love to hear
The Mice cubes chink
THE BEST WAY TO GET YOU SAFELY

Humphrey the three humped camel
DAMIEN DUCK WAS DRESSED UP
Damien Duck was dressed up
For the Halloween extravaganza
And went to the Halloween party
As Vampire Count Quackula
THE DIAMONDBACK WAS IN TEARS
The Diamondback was in tears
And was quite inconsolable
The reason was that someone
Had taken away his rattle
EVERYONE WANTED TO HANG OUT
Everyone wanted to hang out
With the mushroom but why?
I didn’t see the fascination
But it’s because he’s a fungi
