SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY


from the ABC set JUST FOR LAUGHS

I WANT IT ALL

You can't have everything
That’s true enough id say
And if you did have everything
Where would you put it anyway?

FRIEND OR FOE

Your friends may come
And your friends may go
But your enemies just
Seem to accumulate so

NOBODY LIKES A SMART ARSE

Death is I would say
Just simply God's way
Of telling you or I
Not to be such a wise guy

BANG YOUR DEAD

A nuclear war, can they say
Ruin your whole bloody day
For in any atomic hostility
All men are cremated equally

CARRY A LIGHT

When you think about it
A flashlight actually is
Nothing more than a case
For holding dead batteries

BARKED

The shinbone is nothing more
I would I think, dare to remark
Than a simple device for finding
Pieces of furniture in the dark

RAT RACE

Over time Science has
Provided us with a number of facts
They recently discovered
That research causes cancer in rats

POVERTY TRAP

I think the simplest way of defining Poverty
Is when you have too much month left, you see
When you have come to the end of the money

HERE ENDETH THE FIRST LESSON

I think war is probably God's way
Of teaching us all a lesson I’d say
But it won’t be a lesson in theology
Its more likely a to be in geography

IF AT FIRST, AGAIN

Robert the Bruce once decreed
While he was in a cave to hide
That if at first you don't succeed
Destroy any evidence you tried
