A Bit of Humour To Kick Start the Week

FRED THE PERV.

Kinky Fred stole knickers off the line
One summer night his haul totalled nine
His spree ended in tears
Got an extra ten years
When Judge Sue said that red pair were mine.

LARS.

A young astronaut from NASA called Lars
Blasted off from Cape Kennedy to Mars
But then there was a glitch 
When he pressed the wrong switch
Last seen heading at warp speed to the stars.

 PETE.

A young pianist from New York called Pete
Could play William Tell using his feet
But he fell of his chair
And he started to swear 
Was booed off and thrown into the street.

JOHNNY GABLE.

A mean old waiter called Johnny Gable
Saw a man choke to death on a bagel
He then shifted his body
To the side of the lobby
Said forgive me but we need the table .

O'TOOLE.

A forgetful pilot Johnny O'Toole
Was over the north sea flying to Bule
Then both engines spluttered
Under his breath muttered
Looked at his gauge and screamed no ruddy fuel.

OLD GANGSTER.

An old gangster rose from rags to riches 
Got rid of all his traitors and snitches
They'd find in their bed
A racehorses head
Or find themselves sleeping with the fishes.

THE BAKER.

An unwashed old baker from Idaho
Had filthy fingers when kneeding the dough
Folk choked on his paella
Some died from salmonella
Got closed down and ended up on skid row.

O'KEEFE.

A fella by the name of O'Keefe 
Was the long serving town's police chief 
Someone stole the mess cookies
Everyone blamed the rookies
But it turned out O'Keefe was the thief.

AMOUROUS MICHAEL.

Amourous young Michael from Mayo 
At a girls house he tried to stayo
She started to shouto
And then kicked him outo
Said she" you're not staying no wayo."

NIGERIAN POEM THIEF.

A sly poem thief from Nigeria
On the soup caused a mass hysteria
He stole soupers work
Soupers went beserk
On the run now cos he's in fear of ya.

I had to laugh at the end. In the long list of crimes a PSer finds himself at the end of the line, needing a great big booty kick! A real smarter just might do the trick! Congratulations on POTD!
