Couplets

Politicians Wanted
must be sly
able to lie.

Naturist's Ball
nothing to wear
just come bare.

Rest In Peace
quick sudden death
grim reaper met.

One To many
all night boozing
all day snoozing.

Undocked
puppies For Sale
complete with tail.

Nigerian Lottery
notification of win
for recycle bin.

Downpour
saturated old Bella
forgot her umbrella.

Hard Landing
Jim's bad luck
cord was stuck.

In A Drift
Stuck in snow
Waiting for tow

Go Large
Extra French fries
Big fat thighs

So very funny ! I love all especially the first and the last ! The greatest quality of a politician is his ability to lie and remain sly!
