Notes About The Poem

Laughter Is the Best Medicine

OLD MA.

Old Ma always gave the kids a nice treat
Always nuts and never anything sweet
But they soon found out why
Nuts were in great supply
Choc nut bars she'd only suck cos no teeth...

NO HIDING PLACE.

An old gangster robbed a bank and he ran
Flew out from Canada then onto Japan
The Mounties tracked him down
In old Tokyo Town
He was caught cos they always get their man...


A WARDROBE MALFUNCTION

Went to a posh restaurant called Vicars
A girl walked out the loo, there were titters
Her face turned a bright red
At what's every girls dread
She'd gone and tucked her dress down her knickers...


DOMINATRIX.

A dominatrix from the state of Maine
Enjoyed hanky panky out in the rain
She'd use a leather fetter
T'would shrink as it got wetter
And her clients would pass out with the pain..


A FRIEND IN NEED.

The outback two mates went to catch a 'roo
One got cut short and said "I need the loo"
A spider crawled up his knee
As he was starting to pee
And bit him hard on his digeridoo...

His mate phoned the flying doctor who said
"Suck out the Poison if it has turned red"
He thought to himself no way
His mate said "well what's he say?"
He said "in 'bout half an hour you'll be dead" ...

LOST THEIR WAY. For Gershon Wolf

Geese flew south they were honking and hinking
Snow storm came they were blinded and blinking
They had no way of knowing
Where the hell they were going
To see them sway you'd think they'd been drinking...

These are all terrific, Tom! Especially liked the "wardrobe malfunction" and "A Friend in Need." Bet Gershon loves the one you wrote for him. Sooo funny! Sorry it took me so long to visit. Been busy at home. Sending hugs, Carolyn

Oh my !! Okay, okay. All of these made me smile- giggle in some way. I have to say, the first one is so cute. Sucking Chocolate off nuts. Who does that ? (Giggle) Of course it has to be said. I knew this one with the spider bite, would end up dead. Thanks Tom, for the laugh this evening. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy
