Cantaloupes Can'T Elope

I've heard that cantaloupes can't elope It's against their moral code And rhubarbs are NOT allowed to argue I've heard that people sometimes turnip and pea Not a very classy bunch I must say! When you give somebody a raspberry it's very rude Had another good one but it got squashed Gourd won't let me make fun of his name Grapes are not allowed to gripe Bet you're not wild about figs... that figures If you take a leek in a supermarket Security will beet you on the melon When the cashier picks up that yellow fruit It's okay to say, “that's a nice pear you have there” If you give a horseradish, they'll spit it back at you I don't see what they've got to grape about Okay that one was kinda corny Cauliflowers are pretty in the spring Lettuce entertain you © Jack Ellison 2014

This new turn lately... to funny poems has taken a new and exciting turn... But may have the turnips nipping at your heals... Dragon and Grandpa Troll were rolling around on the floor at this one... Your are truly a Master of Hillarity... You should be teaching the experts... Yesterday I got caught up in your worm haiku and couldn't help myself... We don't drink tequila either... We actually, don't drink ANY alcohol, at all. You just wind us up. But I enjoyed the change.

These a-holes need to be rounded up and sent to where these lunatic suicide bombers can send them to meet their maker! It is thoroughly outrageous but an expected reaction to the inevitable decision to find the officer non guilty! I feel for you dear Carol!!! XXX

The Grand Jury verdict came yeaterday. 12 businesses were burned and several house fires were lite. Gun fire was heard as people defended their homes.These were never protesters... But a low criminal element wanting to show power over the police. The Governor dissappeared before it started and the REAL National Guard was not called. We were left with a MINOR token amount of help besides our own police.And they were busy defending themselves.
