BITS AND BOBS


from the ABC set JUST FOR LAUGHS

KEEPING ABREAST

If a fraction of the effort that went into
Research of women’s breasts and their bras
Had instead gone into exploration
Of space, the galaxy and the stars
We would today be operating
Burger joints on the moon and mars

BOSS KEY

I think you’ll agree that Nothing
Motivates a man not to shirk
More than to see his boss
Putting in an honest day's work

THE ARMY GAME

Salute it only if it moves
Pick it up if it doesn't move
If you can't salute it
Or pick it up just paint it

TYPES

In the world as it is today
There are two types of people only
Those who divide people into two types
And those who aren’t that lonely

LISTENING

If people listened
More often to what they say
They wouldn’t talk
All the live long day

THE FOOD CHAIN

It may be better to be a live hyena
Than a dead lion
But it’s better and considerably easier
To be a live lion

PIGGY IN THE MIDDLE

The first shall be last
And the last shall be first
But if you're in the middle
You’ll suffer the worst

WORKMATE

When I do the decorating
I always use my stepladder
And the reason for that is
I don't get on with my real ladder

STRIKE A LIGHT DAD

“Always fight fire with fire”
My Dad always said to me
Which is why he was sacked
From the fire brigade probably

NEW SPEAK

I hate made up words that infest
Our language, here are some
Trichologists, Choclotiers
And Bifidus Digestivum
