a few chuckle perhaps

Talked to a fisherman
He said he hadn’t had a bite in days…so I bit him


Hickory dickory dock
The mice ran up the clock
The clock struck one…
If he clears concussion protocol he’ll start tomorrow


Mary had a little lamb
                                 …and mashed potatoes too.


One potato, two potato, three potato, four
That’s all I could afford so I walked out of the store

Walked into a church.  There sat a tethered parrot on a perch.
With a wily rasp he asked if I could “un-tithe” him


Purchased a pack of condoms
The sales clerk said: “that’ll be $6.95 plus tax”
I replied: “forget the tacks, I’ll tie them on”

Funny and cute. A light moment was just what I needed.
