Dont Slap a Copper With a Kipper

[Youtube clip attached as the source of my ‘copper through your
letter box line... and because I just love the song!]

Don’t slap a copper with a kipper
Don’t catch your todger in your zipper
Don’t put the peas on if you cannot watch the pot
And if your wife should ask don’t say the weather girl is hot

And don’t play Twister with a hippo
Or light a firecracker with a zippo
Don’t date a sure bet if you’ve got holes in your socks
Don’t try to post a copper through your letter box
For that will be a squeeze but you won’t get past his boots
Don’t pull you’re little sister’s hair out by the roots
Don’t hold a bank up with a plastic BB gun
Don’t ski down K2 just because it sounds like fun

Don’t drive a Datsun in Stetson
And don’t wipe your visor with a wet one
And don’t quarrel with your wife, or venom she will hurl
She’ll say why don’t you run off with your little weather girl

And don’t dress like Lennon at a Rolling Stones revival
If you have inside your head the notion of survival

Great advice Terry, sadly with a lot of them too late lol. Have heard of men having arguments with their zips and ending up in A and E. Tom

Why thank you Milt. It’s something I’ve sat on for months, tweaking it every now and again, but it just never felt done. Then I realised that it lacked an end, so I gave it one (wahay!) Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Very witty my friend. I would however play twister with a hippo. I might finally win for a change. Stay well.

Thanks David. I just added a video to illustrate the source of my ‘Copper through your letter box’ line. Have a listen... I think it’s fun. Terry
