Premium Member Any Idea Where Matt Is

The massive head came out of the water hard and fast.
This shark had a blood red mouth and killer teeth!
“It is a great white!” Matt yelled.
We rushed to see.
“Look at those serrated teeth!” 
“I am going to get a closer look!” yelled Matt.
Not the brightest sailor on the ship that day.
He jumped into the water with his water proof camera.
We got a fantastic close up when we retrieved it.
“Any idea where Matt is?” asked his twin, Pat.
Also not the brightest bulb in the box.

Premium Member Back To the Sillies

So here I go, back to the sillies
Jumping in with both my footsies
Clear the decks, full steam ahead
Hope I don't hurt my tootsies!

The world's my oyster as they say
I don't like that incantation
Think I'll use another term
Like the world is my crustacean!

I'm just as happy as a pig in poop
Have you never heard that before?
It's really an absolute favourite of mine
Going to use it a whole lot more!

Never know what's coming out
I just hope and pray that it's clean
Don't wanna get kicked off the lovely site
For something that's really obscene!

Which came first, the chicken or egg?
Bet you don't even have a clue
So you're not the brightest bulb in the pack
Did you ever get past grade two?

Okay! Enough of this silly nonsense
I must go lie down for a while
My oversized brain is hurting real bad
Need to get back my radiant smile!

Gotta Love Her

Not the brightest bulb in the pack I'll have you know
A real beauty but her brain was slow
Her thinking was jumbled don't you see
Thought Meow Mix was a cat cd
Was honored to be on the Jerry Springer Show !
