They kept moving and got too close - a bad case of compass-itis...

Dole Queue

A handsome man from Peru,
Found himself in a stew,
He had no money,
Which isn't funny,
So he had to join the dole queue

Rue

Rue
Stands in
Calmly queue 
Small yellow buds 
Sunbeams have fallen
On green sapphires
Shining bright
Gold spread

Waiting for him feels like standing in a long queue.
In the end, when it’s finally my turn, 
his counter is closed for the day.

Occam Says

Common Sense
uncommon
Wisdom 
in the queue
Figures lie
as liar’s figure
Judgment

Giraffes in the Cafe

We recently went to the zoo,
sadly there were animals few.
Until we all saw,
which caused an uproar,
giraffes in the café shop queue.

Missing a Muse

A muse on the Isle of Man
Skipped to the loo aka "can"
But something went wrong
The queue was too long
How could she rush back to Jan?

Shriveltime

I was just behind a sexpot
In a queue that stood to be shot
It takes skill to wheedle
When facing a needle
As long as whatever you've got!

Monkey See Monkey Dew

When men are getting off their rocks
They seldom think of monkeypox
In the vaccine queue
All eyes are on you
So keep in mind that money talks

Bloody Sundays

A ghoul on a stool made him drool
So the vampire skipped Sunday School
The B-positive queue
Was too long to pursue
At the Blood Bank in Liverpool!

Ladies Last

The ladies stood in a long queue
The mayor thought they might sue
With their knees together
In all kinds of weather
They await their turn in the loo

A girl who stood out in the queue
Was surprised how quickly love grew
But deep down inside
She knew that he lied
And her dream would end with eye dew

Bawdy-Body

Dotty Bawdy-Body was haughty
Just like you, she had to go potty
Well, the Men's had no queue
So she went to their 'Loo
And became, "Naughty Dotty Hottie"

Bloody Nothing

No response
To my emails
Your name’s not in queue
   I pull off a hangnail
   Ripping skin too

The Bus Home

Lovers huddle close.
Rain smacks the dusty pavement.
Commuters bustle,
Seeking refuge in doorways.
Diesel fumes, cigarette smoke,
Intoxicate the bus queue.

No Lie Zone

When Putin is telling the truth
The frogs queue up at the Kissing Booth
But the Russian Bear
Growls, "You should take care!
Vlad squirts cyanide from his tooth!"

Truly British Dogs

There once was a field, with a tree
On which all of the dogs liked to pee,
And whilst one was urinating,
The other sixteen were waiting,
In a queue- oh so orderly!

Barks of wisdom - Picture prompt

The alpha canine stood under the tree
Such doggy wisdom does not come for free
“If you bury your bone
please remember the zone
Now form an orderly queue while I pee”

I Knew I Had To Find You

I knew I had to find you when I had a dream of you,
Two months before I began to follow a single clue,
Then I saw your face and learned your name while we stood in a queue.

Raise a Leg and Pee



I thought pee lines were for females
But when dogs stop wagging their tails
Guys seek the closest tree
Then raise a leg and pee
In a queue, their barks sound like wails

All People In This Country Are Xenophobes

All people in this country are xenophobes.
They screaming, just hearing my name in the queue,
That fully explained, why I didn't have any jobs.
Yours faithfully. Chinese, Fak Yu

Love Snob

Our eyes met in the supermarket queue,
She sent my heart a flutter,                                      
But then all thoughts of love ebbed away, 
In her basket, margarine not butter.

In a Queue

I waited,
In a queue

I waited,
In a queue

I waited,
In a queue

You ask,
Which queue?

I waited,
In a queue

You repeat,
Which queue?

You queue
I answer,
From the queue
