All In the Spelling

Van Gogh refused my cigarette, ‘No thanks, I’ve got one ear’ * The zoo wanted some antelope but they were just two deer * I offered the cabbie some chewing gum, he said do you think that’s fare * Why did Adam eat the apple when Eve had a lovely pear * The tyrant banned men in white shirts: people are going to dye * He claimed to have some caustic soda, was that some kind of Lye * The ageing mechanic removed the wheel, he was ready to re-tyre * Robin Hood was livid, the donuts were in the friar * A starving woman’s fave celebs are bound to be ‘has beans’ * Men just seem to like her, is it something in her jeans * My search for water in the haunted woods ended in a creak * Folk are stealing mountains, should we take a peak * I’m spraying herbs with weed-o-cide: I’m only killing thyme * The mountaineer was chilly, he preferred a sunny clime

Well, as compliments go, that’s not half bad. Thank you, Iris. Terry

Robin Hood certainly gets the nod! Well done! Fav'd this for reference, but are you sure this wasn't gleaned from student essays? Aloha! Rico

As an afterthought, do the Brits still celebrate with Christmas crackers? If so, try stuffing crackers (but get paid for it). Aloha! Rico

Such slanderous defamation. I trust you have a good lawyer. ;-) seriously, the first two were basically old school jokes put to rhyme. The rest I had to think up. Think I might do spoonerisms next... starting with Friar Tuck. Cheers. Terry

Thanks John. Bit of an inspiration drought at the moment so I’ve fallen back on this kind of thing. Sometimes I find a quick one liner or a Limerick become inspiration in themselves. Terry
