Two Limericks, Strictly For the Birds

~ CONFUSED MALE CANARY ~

  There once was a confused male canary
  Who fancied himself a real cute faerie
     He found a male friend
     Peered in his rear end
  Pulled out a note: "Hi, My name's Mary."  



   ~ POOR KITTEN NAMED **** ~

  Sue took in a poor kitten she named ****
  Showed her a reefer, some really good stuff
     **** whipped out a badge
     Inscribed with this adage
  You were busted when you took your first puff

I laughed my kvass off reading the first one)) Alas, my English yet is not good enough to get the second's punch line. No, seriously, what am I missing? It was an undercover kitten, wasn't it?

Ha, ha! You wrote that I need to write comedy. As the standard comeback goes: Whaddya think I'm dong right now?! LOL. Thanks for the encouragement. You've given me a real boost! If a former Second City denizen thinks this stuff is funny, I may actually be getting somewhere! Thanks, ~ SIC (Still in Chicago)
