THE NOSEY OLD LADY
The nosey old lady was drunk . . .
At the zoo, she learned more than she thunk..
She showed no fear,
Pinched an elephant’s ear,
And he snorted her up his trunk.

A HIRSUTE HORROR
Long hair is definitely in
But not when it’s on my chin
Although this one curls
It’s not good on girls
So of course, it causes chagrin

At the party, the sign on the door
Said, “We Can’t Accommodate More”
But a lummox still tried
So the Hostess replied,
“Well, I guess there’s room for one bore”

CULINARY CATASTROPHE
(For Alice Kordich)
In a rush to visit downtown
She cooked frozen pizza to brown
The house filled with smoke
We all feared we’d choke
She’d baked the darn thing upside down

Written for good friend, Alice Kordich, after
she did this twice.

PARENTAL ABUSE
Poor Mother was out of their league
When the kids were bent on intrigue
She broke into tears
And covered her ears
Suffering from tattle fatigue
