Sidney Beck Poet Couplet

Things Not To Mention

THINGS  NOT  TO  MENTION

Condoms in the Vatican
Soul music to the klansman
      Pork chops to the rabbi
      Bomb joke on an aircraft in the sky
Children and any green vegetable
Supersize to the catwalk model
      Thirteen to the superstitious
      England to the Irish
Neighbour’s dog to  the snoozing cat
Fat to Jack  Spratt
      Beer  to a teetotaler
      Tea to a beertotaler

Written for  Debbie  Guzzi ‘s  Contest    “Unmentionables”
