A BIT OF NONSENSE TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD...OR, PERHAPS DARKEN IT....

COMMISERATE WITH MISS APPROPRIATE

                                     Coyly as was her normal trait

                                     She asked if it was appropriate….

                                     For her to kiss upon a first date

                                     Or perhaps longer should she wait…

                                     Pondering he scratched his pate

                                     Declaring it could well be fate

                                     She was not to be his soul mate

                                     A thought to which he could relate

                                     With much still left to debate

                                     Fearful his passion may abate

                                     It caused her to become irate

                                     She felt a pressing need to sedate

                                    Something she knew she’d hate

                                    But now she was in such a state

                                    In despair she ran through the gate

                                   With the fear he might be accurate                    

SIMPLE SIMON UPDATE…

                                              Simple Simon met a barman
                                              Whom he thought wasn't fair
                                              Said Simple Simon to the barman
                                              You have no flare, I do declare

                                             Said the barman to Simple Simon

                                              First you hand me one dollar
                                              To be let in free is uncommon

                                              As he grabbed Simon by his collar
                                      
                                              Simple Simon firmly stood his ground
                                              For him to catch his breath awhile
                                             Shaking his head he looked around
                                             And then began to feel a little hostile
 
                                             Simple Simon glanced about him
                                             Alas  not another soul was there
                                             Realising alone he was out on a limb
                                             Sullenly he sat upon a chair

                                          
                                           Simple Simon dug in his pocket 

                                           To see what he could find 
                                           But all he detected was a docket
                                           This caused a bad frame of mind

                                          Simon requested a glass of water

                                          The barman asked for five dollars
                                          While saying, 'Come again, you oughta
                                          Because water is free to our regulars.'

JACK AND JILL

                         

                                        Jack and Jill didn’t go up the hill

                                        As we thought to fetch a pail of water

                                        Jill wasn’t always a well-behaved daughter

                                      

                                        Jack had other things on his mind

                                       At first Jill followed close behind

                                       Curious to see what she could find

                                    

                                      At the hilltop Jack looked around

                                      And much to his surprise he found

                                      Jill spreadeagled on the ground
