Laugh With Jack Revisited

Some lions mate over 50 times a day Now that's really unbelievable I'm only good for about 40 times tops 50 is almost inconceivable The dot over the “i” is called a tittle I'm aware naughty words aren't allowed Though this one's legit I looked it up But don't yell it out in church too loud Only one person in more than two billion Lives to 116 or older Sorry to disappoint you my P-Soup friends I intend to be that record holder An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain Know quite a few people like that Some are members of my immediate family They's dumber than the household cat The longest recorded flight of a chicken Is thirteen seconds, quite short Fleeing for its life from the butcher's knife Screaming “Got wives and kids to support!” Buckingham Palace has over 600 rooms Elizabeth hasn't seen Phillip in years Tried to pick up her up one night last summer Liz promptly kicked him in the rear Some worms will actually eat themselves If they're unsuccessful finding food There might come a time when I'd do that But I'd really have to be in the mood Beetles taste like apples, worms like fried bacon What weirdo discovered this Even if they paid me a gazillion dollars You wouldn't catch me licking the dish!

You honour me my dear Shadow! There once was a radio show way way back called "The Shadow" and it always began by a voice saying, "only the Shadow knows!"... is that true? LOL

Oh man Jack!...In my opinion this is your funniest yet...Hilarious!!...Referring to the first verse, I admire and am rather envious of your reproductive prowess and sexual stamina...I'm only good for 40 times...a YEAR (tops) - Tim

Why thank you Tim... much appreciated! BTW I exaggerated a bit with the 40 times a day... 30 is really my max and then I need oxygen! LOL
