Useless Info

An army of mites reside in our lashes With mouths and tiny claws Along the way during human evolution This surely must be a flaw Astronauts strangely can't burp in space What kind of useless dribble is that A feline can have over a hundred kittens Now that's one pooped out cat Some atheists put up Christmas trees An identity crisis for sure A cow can poop up to four tons a year That's sure a big batch of manure A woman once had sixty-nine children Talk about barefoot and pregnant With a dirty big bunch of kiddies like that She could hold her own beauty pageant Nose prints are used to identify dogs Imagine if used them for humans Especially during the influenza season There'd be snot all over the policeman The tallest people in the world are the Dutch Must always duck around windmills While kissing most tilt their head to the right But there's some who rub noses still The salary of Toto in “The Wizard Of Oz” Was a hundred twenty dollars a week That's a hundred and twenty more than me Since retiring my new job is sleep ©Jack Ellison 2012

The tallest people in the world are the Dutch? I always thought members of the Watusi tribe in Africa were all at least seven feet tall. Some local sports broadcasters didn't know the meaning of "dry dock". Apparently, they were not in the navy. Good write Jack.
