Best Bet Poems
You Bet Your Sweet BippyHappiness comes in many forms
Remember the thrill of your first born
How could you have known at the time
The challenge of keeping things in line
Sometimes seemed too much to bare
Many obstacles, more than your share
Finally you make it all the way through
Hard to replace that joy...

an the nappy growing better

slippin' in the dub. Ro'nd birch

My BetI bet on a horse and it won
50 quid is not a huge sum
So I bet again and still won
But 100 quid is still a small sum
So I bet again and guess what?
Yes, I won
But 300 quid is still not a big sum
So you...

Introduced her to Google,
She said, ‘Surfing? I’m not even wet.’

I'D Bet On You AgainFirst time I saw her I didn't know
If I'd seen an angel or if, I'd seen a ghost
Just could not believe that she was real
I'd never felt the way she made me feel
.
And her eyes looked at me
In a way I'd never seen
That said "boy...

they're not yours
or are they?
You don't want them to be

don't have to forever but here we are...

Bet You Did Not KnowBet You Did Not Know
Several mammalian species
When dropping their mammalian feces
Just before the big push
Will align their tush
Or so says this researches thesis
He watched 70 dogs of 30 plus breeds
Out in the woods completing their deeds
For each doggy sample
Through the woods did he trample
Until at...

I'M a Haunted House Sitter, You BetMany people have houses that are filled up with ghosts
And the problem they cause is the huge shortage of hosts
For there aren't many willing to tolerate that
Which is where I ride in with my ghost buster's hat.
It was long, long ago when I started to...

You Bet Your LifeA chance for eternity is at stake.
Life is too important to make a mistake.
Some try to get rich playing the lottery,
Odds are against them, but they play merrily.
Some think we are a product of natural selection,
Enzymes and molecules, in some random collection.
Trillions to one, against...
