if i said you had a gorgeous body would you hold it against me? i would never belong to a club that would have me as a member be open minded but not so open minded that your brains fall out i never forget a face but in your case, i'll make an exception i have had a perfectly wonderful evening but this wasn't it those are my principles and if you don't like them, well, I have others

Ah! John, these are all great, once again! You continue to amaze us with your wonderful humorous 'kus.' My favorite this time was the first one, about anti-gravity. Here's a little clean joke for you: What do Alexander the Great and Winnie the Pooh have in common? ~ Their middle names. Smiles, Gershon

Laughing out loud, Lobo. You never cease to amaze me. I guess Smokey the Bear could join that club too! Thanks for the support, my friend. It's been a dry season for me, poetry-wise. But at least I've got the Monday thing going. Take care, John

Yay, a book worm theme (my favorite!) I've heard a couple of these before but like old friends they're always welcome - and how have you been, my bookworm buddy?

I figured there were quite a few bookworms at a poetry site, and I knew you were one of them. I'm glad you were able to enjoy these. I have been well - very busy in life, and sadly not very inspired in the writing, but I'm sure that will return. Meanwhile, there's Monday Monoku to keep me going, haha! Take care, my artistic sibling ~ John

Hi John, Your one-liners are hilarious—especially 1st and the 5th ones. I laughed out loud reading them. I'm with Jenna; if you were a comedy act, I'd have to book you. Have a great day:-) Alexis
