End of Year Humour

MR GREEDY

Mr Greedy could not eat any more
His bulging stomach was swollen and sore
Needed hospital care
But he couldn't get there 
Cos he got wedged in the frame of the door... 

SPOILT BRAT

A spoilt young daughter was having a moan
Santa didn't bring the latest I phone
Her dad said" hand me that
You ungrateful young brat"
And sent her off to her room to atone...

MA KELLY

Eighty year old Ma Kelly passed away 
Her mean family didn't want to pay
So they filled her with concrete 
Then put supports on her feet
And sold her as a statue on ebay...

SINBAD

For twelve camels Sinbad purchased a wife 
But she gave him lots of grief and much strife 
Tried to give her away
All his friends they did say
"A wife's not just for Christmas but for life" .. 

CLIMATE CHANGE

Eskimos igloos started to buckle
Global warming for them is big trouble
They got home one day
And to their dismay
Their village had turned into a puddle... 

NEW YEAR

If you go out celebrating new year
Do go easy on the whiskey and beer
Make sure you drive slowly 
Cos you don't want to be
Stuck in a snow drift right up to your ear... 




Written 30th  December 2019.

Better still if you're driving DON'T DRINK. 

Happy New Year to all.
