Very Punny, Very Punny

The little old woman who lived in a shoe Wasn't the sole owner Apparently there were strings attached Wow that was a real groaner I have never been a big fan of archery Too many drawbacks, for me Rookie pirates make terrible singers Can't really hit the high seas For plumbers a flush sure beats a full house And I'm not talking poker here Have you heard about that origami store The damn thing folded it appears In a room where the curtains were drawn The rest of the furniture was real Love means nothing to tennis players Doesn't have a lot of appeal The butcher backed into the meat grinder And got a little behind in his work Heard it before but it's one of the good ones Let's celebrate and pop the cork Do you know the real definition of a will It's a dead giveaway ... grrrrooooaaaannnn © Jack Ellison 2013

HA HA HA LOL, this is probably the best list of puns I've ever read my friend! I really enjoyed reading this amazing write this evening! You have crafted an outstanding grouping of puns, I thought the one, "Rookie pirates make terrible singers, Can't really hit the high seas" was a very funny one, I don't know why but that one really appealed to me! What a delightful poem, Great Work!!
