Humorous verse

[RonBee]

Bacteriophobia


I've got bacteria on me.

They're crawling all over my skin,

And what am I going to do

About the ones that live within?

Those germs are inside and out.

They are all over me,

And what is worst is that

They are living there rent-free.

Don't Ever Grow Old

Don't ever grow old.

Old people are so forgetful.

They are so annoying—

Ever so fretful.

One of the drawbacks

Age brings

Is being bothered

By little things.

Reading the paper (you might think)

Is not such a big deal,

But when you can’t do it

The annoyance is real.

It’s not so bad to require

Glasses in order to read,

But then you forget them,

And where are the glasses you need?

Oh, I know it’s easy

For me to say,

But I wouldn’t grow old

If I had my way.

There's a Clerihew I like about the difference between geography and biography:

Geography's maps
Biography's chaps

I walked my dog
In the fog.
I tripped over a log
And fell on my dog.

Polytetrafluoroethylene*

It won't stick.

It's too slick.

You're Only Young Once, But You're Only Old Once Too

Some people, who don't know
Their wherefores and their whys,
Say, "I'd like to look
Like the ones in picture books."
But when they get older
I'm sure they'll realize
That it's better to have
Good luck than good looks.

The Woman Who Lived In A Closet

There was once a woman
Who for a long time
Had been living in a closet.
One day she opened the door.
The bright sunlight
Made her wince.
She shaded her eyes
Until she could see
A man.
She ran back into her closet
And hasn't been seen since.

Hi Ronbee,

Would you like to tell what the whole poem is for?
Honestly, it sounds like a fairytale for me to read full of interest.

It is just something that came to me one time. I do not know where it came from. It is, as you say, like a fairy tale. After all, the things it talks about are impossible. Nobody really lives in a closet. I guess that is where the humor comes from (if there is humor there). The woman comes out of her closet. She shields her eyes because she is not used to the bright sun. When she sees a man she is shocked and runs back into her closet.

I think that she was hidding herself of this man outside her closet for all these years. She was waiting him to leave, however when she had the chance to colloct her courage to get outside her closet she found him standing their.

Is it a kind of revenge between them?:-|

It remindes me with our small fightings with our brothers and sisters. We keep hidding in our rooms or under the tables to avoid meeting them after we had annoyed them.:lol:

That's an interesting interpretation.

I know it is too late to say that, but it is amazing "Rosalie Gives Me A Rose".
I wonder, how long the name list that you got till now. I hope my name is encluded.:lol:

Here's one that's been with me since grade 6. Actually, it has somewhat of a funny/odd story attached to it. We were asked to memorize a poem--any poem, one that "spoke to you"--and then deliver it to the class. Well, being in grade 6 at the time I wasn't too sure what poetry was, so I dragged out my parents' poetry books, and memorized the first poem I could find that looked like it would be easy to remember.

Well, I doubt my classmates understood the poem--I didn't understand it either at the time, and my teacher was somewhat puzzled my choice:

One night in late October
When I was far from sober
Walking home in manly pride
My feet began to stutter
So I lay down in the gutter
And a pig came and laid by my side.

A women walking by was heard to say,
"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses"
And the pig
Got up
And slowly
Walked away.

 

[RonBee]

That's good!

I've always found this re-working of the nursery rhyme 'Mary had a little lamb' to be a favourite.

Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon
10 thousand volts went up its bum
And turned its wool to nylon
:shock:
