A farmer had a flock of sheep, one-forty-four in all Came time to shear them for their wool three shepards he did call The first one could not herd them up, they took one look and ran The second failed miserably, the third one had a plan He grouped the sheep in blocks of twelve and marched them to the barn At this point you may take this for one more old timers' yarn But I'm a'tellin' you it's true, that farmer was my cousin And 'round these parts we know for fact that "sheep herd by the dozen". |

My book on anti-gravity is so hard to put down And then there were two cannibals feasting on a clown The one looked at his pal and said, “Do you taste something funny?” Ok, Doc Moose. You asked for it. Let’s get down and get punny!! My buddy had his left side cut off. He’s all right these days. I tried to make plump ladies see the error of their weighs. The president least guilty? Lincoln. He is in a cent. A big fire at the carnival..the heat was so in tents!! One cannibal threw up his hands because he got so sick. I met a girl at an internet club but we just didn’t click. My friend got married just last week. He overcame his fears. It was an emotional wedding. Even the cake was in tiers. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it. A cardboard belt would be a waist of paper Even if you could make it fit. If you don't pay your exorcist you might get repossessed. To write with a broken pencil is pointless. At least that’s my guess. People who jump off of bridges in Paris really are in Seine. Without geometry, life is pointless…(don’t make me explain) Dead batteries are given out here. They are free of charge. The short fortune-teller who escaped was a small medium at large. The cross-eyed teacher couldn’t control his pupils – that was sad! Hard-boiled eggs are hard to beat, a fact that makes me mad! I wanted to be a juggler but I didn’t have the balls. Poor me!!! I didn't want to buy leather shoes, but eventually I was suede, you see? Although these things I talk about may seem to you absurd A theatrical performance about puns is just a silly play on words.  |

Hats off m'friend, they is good stuff, a riot one an' all an' that just goes to show again you're really on the Ball(adeer). What say we revive the "Poetic Joust" and have a little go at it, I have been aching for a little mental exercise. Your topic, no holds barred, with decorum applied of course, any form of your choosing. Consider the gauntlet as tossed. Doc [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (06-27-2011 09:48 PM).] |

I was worried, I thought you were going another direction. If your cuz said that it was better herding by the dozen, then I'm taking his, and your, word for it. ~ Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient. ~ |

JerryPat2, Lol, thanks. At least with these I have some idea of where I'm heading as the punch line is already established, you just have to work your way to it. Doc Balladeer, Most excellent m'friend, I'll be on the lookout. Doc |
