useless waste sacrifices
will we ever learn?
our future movers, shakers
laid to a restless unknown...

There once were a man from Dunkirk
A politician he was for his work
He said all propaganda are lies
And then to his demise
He told the truth and he went berserk....

There Was Once a Nerd
There was once a nerd so eager to lurk
Well fed up with his life and his cattle
So  he took off with a boat
But that boat did not float
And started to swim from Dover to Dunkirk...

Down In Dunkirk
The once was a man from Dunkirk.
The war came and he went berserk.
In the French battle field,
Local harlots did yield.
Escape came by fancy footwork.

Premium Member The Man From Dunkirk
There once was a man from Dunkirk
Who always was late for his work.
This man was so lazy,
He drove his wife crazy.
She stabbed him awake with a dirk.

Premium Member Security In Jeopardy
The Social Security system

Is struggling to find a sound rhythm

     If Grandpa survives

     Past Age 65

Will Feds send a posse to kill him?

wait
    wait there
stay
   do not
           cry
it
   will
      not
        be
            long
until
we
     meet
          again
it's 
aurevoir
       ...not..
            goodbye

Banana Surprise
Banana went to culinary college
Yellow, firm, wanted so much knowledge,
Standing up in last class,
Ending up in large mass,
Now was the time for all to acknowledge.

That Must'Ve Hurt
There once was a young man from New Paltz
Who performed tricks at bowling league halls
One day with his yo-yo
His teammates screamed: "OH, NO!"
When the darn toy got caught 'round their balls!

why..
     why..
is this
      happening
              now...
but not
         tomorrow?
and yet..
          what
           might be,
            may be
for
     the best...
perhaps..
      we shall
              see

inspired by youtiube clip of film Dunkirk...

Premium Member Curiosity
As a child it was fun and quite daring
To ogle what the other was carrying
We hid in the loft
Where we played quite oft
To inspect what the other was baring

Premium Member There Was Once a Man From Dunkirk
There abided an old dude in Dunkirk

   Who was a deacon in the parish kirk

      He cast his lecherous eyes

         On ladies' keisters and thighs

            He was renowned about town for this quirk

Premium Member bunnies in the water
distress alarm went out over the Dunkirk Sea
french bunnies in the water, capsized, maybe three
tugboats and rowboats raced to try and help
argentine bunnies were pulled out wearing gooey kelp

I rescued four, Michigan, a freighter captain said.
we have five here, announced my uncle Fred.
altogether they rescued nineteen bunnies that day.
boats of every color and country, many from far away....

Dunkirk – How it Hurt

They once tried to survive upon the sand
That they called No-Man’s land

Bombs and bullets fell as they stared
They couldn’t breath as there was no air

But then out at sea what a commotion
Stirring up such emotion

It’s time for you to go home young man
For you no more sleeping on the sand

That was a voice that they heard 
If they made it through the curve

May God bless all who served
Because you all deserve

Our unreserved

Thanks

DAMO...
