Curses, Foiled Again

    The King of Moab was named Balak
       Truth be told, he was cruel, diabolic

    Afraid of the Israelites, he hired the sorcerer Balaam
        a ‘prophet-for-hire,’ he’d curse the Jews with nary a qualm

Curses Foiled Again

Strawberry jelly
Nailing jelly to a fence
See bright colour shines

Its impossible
Red liquid, has stained the fence
The nail is alone

Curses -- Foiled Again

This time for sure, Jimmy Olson, intent
To find out the secret of one Clark Kent --
   He'd locked the phone booth
   What a super-sleuth! --
Too bad: Top was wide open as a tent

The joy of a score means...yahoo!
Sex is a pleasant
Heart holiday present
Now ruined since I’ve caught the flu

French Were Foiled In 1797

There almost was an invasion
By the french but was foiled
A wench stopped the battalion
By getting them well oiled

Jemina  N  had the gumption
To take them to the inn
Rushed them to the publican
Whose beer was served within

She soon rallied up the women
Dressed in national dress
French thought it was a battalion
Surrended with no fuss

No thoughts on Bristol and

The Chicken Bank, Foiled

Dave...The armed robber
Bank robber
Back in sixty-three
Would leave me sleeping muvva
For much skullduggery

Raiding banks, petrol stations
And very auften...I swear
He even raided
The new joint 
Called............ Mothercare

And wake his giant angel
Who very loudly snored
With booties bonnets mittens 
And cardies, she adored

One day they got raided by many Old Bill
Dave got all panicked 
Bout the money he did steal

Muvva

Foiled

It shone
Finally, the rain had fallen
An end to the dust monologue

And then
Like foil unwrapped
Unmasked
Naked
It lay infront of me

Helpless 
Hopeless
They wailed again
Their bellies screaming 
The voices gone

The scars of their tears blinked
Only for a second
The river began to flow again
I wondered
Why the weather changed it's colors so fast!
