  Quid pro quo, barter...

I only wish what is mine...,

For the best pun penned and sent in

Thinking one would win
Sadly for him, No Pun In Ten Did...

Israelis are not there for show
Go on!   Take a peek!
They won't turn their cheek!

But the dentist went mad with the drillings
So alas and alack
And a bucket of plaque
 It cost me two quid; forty shillings!...

There once was a banker from Kent
Whose life was fanatically bent
    On saving each quid
    Like no other did
And moaning with each pound he spent...

The earth looks so moist
    Please give me a hoist
      right on into that coffin

  Now shut the lid

      I like this game ~
      Let's play it often...

The carol singers at my door,
I greeted them with tone deaf song,
My hand outstretched, they shuffled off:
I didn’t get a quid – what’s wrong?

A barber in county Kildare,
both drinking and doing their hair,
cut till they were bald.
'Don't worry,' he called,
'Eight quid includes toupees to wear.'

Quid pro quo 
Give and take
How it should 
Have been 
Take take take
Is how things 
Really were 
50%50% my ass
More like 20% 80%
Not equal at all
Always seemed 
To have the 
Emotional upper hand 
Over me...

Tit for tat as 'favors' go
 Sometimes there is a cash flow
 pay the piper get it done
 When you're busted its no fun
 Caught up in a 'quid pro quo'

There’s a version that comes in an ointment,
but go sparingly on the anointment!
The calamari squid
set you back a few quid.
Ooh, those tentacles - no disappointment!

I splashed out on this greetings card,
It cost me 50p,
I thought that you were worth it,
For putting up with me.


But yours, I know, will cost far more,
(Perhaps a quid or two), 
But that’s because I’m worth far more,
For putting up with you....

A journey to the past,
For a weekly shop to last,
The grocer knew everyone,
When the baby boomers had begun,
We might get some biscuits broken,
Or an ice block, as a token,
Our olds did it on 2 quid per week,
Better times than this, they did seek....

Lately my life has been pure hell
So it seems that now I must sell
Sell my belongings, sell my soul
Sell off everything
That is even slightly old
So to the pawn shop I go
For a little quid pro quo
Where my wallet will surely grow
God I hope so!

Washington is to get a foot of snow!

   That is nothin' new as far as I know.

      I will shed no clamant tears.

         They gave us snow jobs for years!

            Methinks that a pertinent quid pro quo!

There was a local lad named one-armed Joe

     Who was an alligator wrestling pro

          He misjudged the 'gator's snap

               Resulting in this mishap

                    He dined on 'gator tail as quid pro quo

She goosed him to sign the deed,

                                      And kept him on chicken feed;

                                           Soon he became plump

                                           With a loathsome rump

                                      But she could not save a quid....

Hei Ho Hei Ho let us move to Beiho
                                    Beiho, the land of Karban and Peiho
                                        Karban gobbled my dear wife
                                       Peiho charged with bowie knife
                                    But I sent her to glory quid pro quo...

How many people are that stupid
Asked the hot and they brought the tepid,
For a sweet tale released the vapid
Reflect on hatred,. "No, on Cupid"
Get us The tasty "No Insipid"?

How many would wait to spend last quid
On water for being Nature's liquid?
How many people that much stupid
For survival face just lipid?...

Why are you here
Inflicting pain
Shut up, disappear
Do I entertain

I hate you so
Why do you stalk
I’m no quid pro quo
Do not try to talk

This is my house
Go on just leave
You are not my spouse
With the lies you weave

What have you left
But my burnt heart
You’re in hell for theft
At least hell’s a start...

I contemplated, but not alone,
On an ancient poet's ode,
A lover and a scribbler composed,
"Nunc scio quid est amor...." Oh,
"Now I know what true love is....." No woe,
As I reflect on a spiritual road,
I ponder on, where pomegranates,
As venerable Horace did compose,
A love divine, true love, and never alone..........
