Old Shep

Mum will be worried and tonight will be a frost
The sun is going down quickly I know I am lost
Not at all sure if we are on the right track
Shep, you are smart you'll find the way back


It really is my fault, you only have one bad habit
I shouldn't let you chase that big old buck rabbit
Watching you run after it was ever so much fun
If dad was there he would have shot it with a gun


Time sure went fast Shep, what happened to the day
I've had a real good time, and we both like to play
Not at all scared, if we see a bear you will bark
But we better hurry home, can't be out after dark


Silly me, I couldn't remember which way that we went
But you are a smart dog, you will pick up the scent
Mum will be really worried, she'll be a nervous wreck
Dad consoling her, saying "He's okay with Old Shep"


We will be safe, I can feel it in my heart
You're a brave dog Shep and very, very smart
Oh, Shep there it is, I can see our family home
Lets run all the way and I'll get you a big bone


Mum, Dad and Sis are smiling and waving like mad
They are happy to see us, and I'm twice as glad
Now we are home, the day has come to an end
I love you Shep, you really are my best friend

Redneck Housefire

The redneck was drunk as a skunk 
Couple of dozen beers he had drunk 
Staggered round the corner into his street 
He noticed the flames and searing heat 

Was burning fast and the flames got higher 
Just then he realized it was his house on fire 
Alarmed now, didn't want to loose his home 
He ran back round the corner to the pay phone
 
Grabbed the phone and quickly dialed triple O 
"Give me the fire brigade" he said "don't be slow" 
"My house is on fire, can you please come put it out" 
"Yes" said the fireman,  there will be no mucking about" 

"We will be on our way soon, so please be aware" 
"Could you tell us please sir, how do we get there?" 
"Hey? replied the redneck." what a dumb schmuck?" 
"Why don't you just drive here in the red fire truck?"

Shocking Bushfires

Every man, woman and child really admires 
\The men and women fighting the bushfires 
Some deliberately lit, the worst of all sins 
The fires roar fiercely in the strong winds 
Hundreds of square miles have burnt to the ground 
Poor people watching their houses burning down 
Just to see it on television is a terrible shock 
Gone are farms, houses, buildings and stock 
Feel sorry for these people, nothing at all left 
Over sixty poor buggers have burnt to death
For weeks us Aussies have suffered dreadful weather 
Stinkin' bushfires will bring people closer together 
Loosing everything you own must be incredibly rough 
The country people will survive, they are terribly tough 
Why would anyone want to cause so much pain? 
Bastards who lit these fires have no bloody brains 
Bushfires are terrible, what an awful way to die 
Not much we can do really, but to wonder why 
Burnt out cars with poor buggers stuck inside 
Couldn't beat the flames, had nowhere to hide 
Everyone will be praying, of that there`s no doubt 
Hopefully soon, all them damn fires will be out 
As I write this, even worse than I`d feared 
Whole Victorian towns have simply disappeared 
With the winds howling the fires move faster 
How can the lord let this happen, a natural disaster? 
Mother Nature has dealt out one hell of a hand 
Fires in two states and floods in Queensland 
Only thing I can offer, not much that is true 
To all you poor buggers, my thoughts are with you 
I can`t remember anything worse in all my years 
Nobody will look, without shedding some tears 
Not much we can do to help ease the pain 
Guess I`ll pray to God, send down some rain 
I think tonight, everyone will be saying their prayers 
Hoping the fires are out, that none of them flares

All I Want For Christmas

All I want for Christmas is some false teeth
Last set were taken by a dirty stinkin' thief
Came into my bedroom, twas bold as brass
Were soaking overnight in a dirty old glass

Old false teeth had been with me for quite a while
When thief took them he also took away my smile
Now I mumble a lot and keep my mouth closed 
Why did they take my teeth? Lord only knows

Santa, I would not be able to eat my Christmas dinner
Since my teeth were stolen, just keep on getting thinner
Personally believe the thief must be simply a bit of a twit 
Did he really think that my false teeth, would actually fit

Reminds me of my Grandma, who was frequently quite uncanny
Sat on a chair, false teeth were there and bit herself on the fanny
All jokes aside Santa, to me it would really be such a relief
If you were to put in my stocking, a new pair of false teeth 

Showing off and having my photo taken is not really my style
But if you bought some teeth I'd take a selfie, with my new smile
Please dear Santa, it would have me feeling like a lotto winner
Being able to sit with friends again and eat my Chrissy dinner

Happy Valentines Day Paula

Honey I love you with all my heart

Always have dear right from the start

Precious my darling, you are to me

Paula, I'll love you through eternity

Yesterday for sure, today even more

 

Value you more than anything in the world

Angel like darling, such a wondrous girl

Loving you Paula is such an easy thing to do

Every morning, lucky to wake up next to you

Never will my love die, just keeps on growing

Thankful I am and I want you to be knowing

Imagine kissing you every day in my daydreams 

Never tire of your sweet smile that always beams

Enjoy each and every  minute that we are together 

Special the bond we have, will surely last forever

 

Down from the skies, I believe you were heaven sent

Angels and God made for me the perfect judgement

Yielded to you many years ago, head over heels you know

 

Partnership, over the years we have successfully built

Alive once more we became dear , without a sign of guilt

Useless I once was until you came along giving me direction

Lady I must thank you for showing me real love and affection 

Attracted to you from the start, flame's still burning in my heart

Flutter By

Did you ever stop, to watch a butterfly
Gently spread its wings and flutter by
Wondrous colours, as they fly with ease
Darting all about in the gentle breeze


Up into the trees, then into the grass they dive
Watching them makes us feel glad to be alive
Tis normally on a sunny day in spring
As they flutter around, birds do sing


Could lie in the grass, watch for many an hour
As the bees take the pollen from flower to flower
A ray of sunshine on my face would beam
As you dangle your feet in the cool clear stream


I`d look at your hair and your waist so slim
Give you a quick kiss, then go for a swim
Kicking off your clothes, you'd jump in with me
We would jump around, laughing so childishly


Hand in hand dripping, we get out at long last
Passionately kiss, then make love on the grass
After, lay on our backs and stare at the sky
Day will soon end, can only wonder why


Hour or two later we'll wake under the trees
Give thanks to the Lord for the birds and bees
Sun will soon set and darkness is nigh
Watch one last butterfly gently flutter by

That Is the One

Man was walking around the library

having a really good look

He had looked everywhere

but still couldn't find that book

He ventured to the counter

to ask the good looking assistant

At first he wasn't noticed

she seemed quite distant

 

She was on the computer

and on some paper she wrote

As the man got a little closer

he started clearing his throat

"May I help you?" she asked 

the very nervous looking man

"Yes" he replied with a twitch

sweating from the palm of his hand

 

He said "I'd appreciate it a lot

if you kept this just between us

I am looking for a book called

Help For Men With A Small Penis" 

Librarian looked up and answered

"That isn't in yet I'm afraid hun"

Then gave a look of dismay

as he said "Yes, that is the one"

Clock On the Wall

As their pulses quicken even more

I hang quietly here above the door

Excited I am too as they quicken the pace

I have two hands up trying to cover my face

Like a voyeur watching their naked bodies meet

Turned on now, but my heart doesn't miss a beat  

Embarrassed just a little at their love making

I don't mean to notice how long they are taking 

Faster and faster until they reach ultimate ecstasy

Later they will awake and gingerly look up to me

Put the Fire Out

Wow! babe, this is as hot as I've ever felt
Hurry, put these flames out before I melt
Stop teasing me darling, with your body so mesmerizing
Seems like forever, for this moment I've been fantasizing 

Mercury is rising and soon, I will surely explode
Pulse and breathe quickening, need to unload 
Your sweet body I lust and even more require
Only thing now, that can put out this raging fire

May be cold outside and the rain is still drizzling
Steamy here in the bedroom, it's certainly sizzling 
Every time you touch my body it is so electrifying
Please douse these flames now I need satisfying 

Hot passionate kisses with our tongues entangled
Set me on fire just like you were lighting a candle
Sparks are flying, shorting out my vital components
Not much longer can I take these melting moments

We need to make love right now, I think we oughta
Otherwise you'll need to go and get a bucket of water
Have teased me so long now darling, it is surely a sin
Time to put out the fire and let the lovemaking begin

Extinguished

Stuck in a little glass cage

Could be there for quite an age

No fresh air and always there alone

No one to talk to in my little home

 

People walk past every day without a peep

No one even notices me there half asleep

THEN!! all of a sudden someone yells out "Fire"

Sure they couldn't raise their voices any higher

 

Some bloke smashes the glass with a pick

The shattering sound near makes me sick

Grabs me by the handle and gives me a shake

Think to myself, settle down mate for pity's sake

 

Tosses me around without a single care

If I could speak at all I would surely swear

Rips out my pin with force, was very fierce

Really hurt me too it was my only body pierce

 

Grabs my hose in his hand and opens my spout

Excited he is as I shoot all of that white stuff out

As I start to empty I feel a little bit of shame

At least my juices helped douse the flame 

 

He shakes me harder and I give one last spurt

Then throws me aside and that's what really hurt

Done my job now I'm empty, completely spent

Hit the concrete hard and my handle is bent  

 

"No one is hurt" I heard a fireman say with a grin

Then he picked me up and threw me in to the bin

I guess I'm useless now that I don't have any sap

Perhaps someone will find me, use me for scrap
