People tend to assume all Transylvanian aristocrats are vampires. That's wrong on so many counts.

We all know "A for 'orses and Beef or mutton". Here are some more...

A for good one

B for dam

C for yourself

D for rent

E for heavy sigh

F for loving

G for 'orse

H for himself

I for the moon

...

That's all for tonight.

J for any further ideas?

Never Work with Wombats

Visible to anyone in the world
There was a young fellow called Lance
Who tried to teach wombats to dance.
And his brother, named Jim
Tried to train them to swim.
A crazy idea with no chance.

The Starry Messenger

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Richard Walker, Sunday, 23 Apr 2017, 21:52
The angel came at last
It was just like a tiny insect.
When I heard it buzz I cried
What an impertinence.

Don't I deserve better?
I was expecting a celestial being
With wings the colour and softness of clouds
Not those puny flexing things.

I was destined to be carried up
On wings stronger than the snow goose.
Mighty arms to swoop me up
Into the pigeon loft of song.

Reading my mind, the angel replied
Majesty is the creator's alone
Who has sent me as his agent
I can only do what is in my nature.

But rest assured
Creations smaller than me
Will have and hold you
Until you reach the stars once more.

Limerick

Visible to anyone in the world

There was a young fellow called Lee

Who thought that his Gran was a flea.

When he said to her, "Jump!"

She just answered, "Harrump!"

A witty response, you'll agree.

In the End

If you're an old Viking,

Who can't afford a ship. 

Don't worry.

We'll all be washed out to sea in the end.

I went to the Doctor

Visible to anyone in the world

"Doctor", I said, "Tell me the worst." I waited.

"Vell" she began. Did I tell you she has a rather sexy German accent, a bit like Marlene Dietrich? Anyway, she does. Husky.

She went on, "It's never easy." It sounded bad but I tried to keep calm.

"You murst...", that's the way she talks, I'm not making it up.

"You murst cut down on sausages."

Apparently in Oregon qualifying seniors can get a discount at Dunkin' Donuts. What I want to know is, do you have to show an Oregon donut card?

For Springs

Visible to anyone in the world
Now is the time
When all our springs need a good clean

Especially if they are rusty
Or just playing dirty, as they do.

And if they look wound up
They might need watching

In case they uncoil
From the intoxication of being oiled.

And we must take good care
They aren't forcibly compressed

As spring washers, who over and over
See Time clean and unclean her bloodied paws.

Dear Auntie,

As I grow older I feel increasingly anxious. Should I worry about this?
