In Paris they have "whitening booths"
because of the street mimes
The waiting lines are always long
'cause whitening takes time

I've tried to keep this short and sweet
at least that was my plan
So translated from French I'd say
that mime waits for no tan

Okay, now it is Lori's turn to best this, today's fun-time-poem winner.

JerryPat,
Thanks, let the fun times roll.
Doc

Balladeer,
Give me a break man, I set this up and delivered the punchline in two stanzas on this one. Not an easy feat by any means, let's see your stuff, I just know you've been sand bagging me, lol.

Doc, your puns are quite inane.
I mean, you just don't use your brain.
You should know better but you're too vain.
In Paris you would be in Seine!

You needed TWO stanzas???????????

But Paris you can keep.
Home of the mighty frogs.

so do you think of the puns first then come up with the rest of the poems or do you start with the poem and see where you end up?

Thanks, trade secret, lol. No, I go with the pun first, and then try to piece it together.
