Snippets 2
By audrie
26 June 2007
  Not sure if I should have included 5 in this lot.  Anyway, here are some more that you asked for.

I'll now get back to more traditional verse, with Teacups and Spoons.

   SNIPPETS 2

1.
'If you should need a favour done
you only have to ask', said she.
But when I asked she answered,
'Well, for God's sake don't ask me!'

2.
He dreamed he was surrounded
by ten delightful nudes.
Alas, for him, they all turned out
the most outrageous prudes!

3.
It is the quality of silences
that show - if a marriage is a.okay.
or no-go!

4.
The Bible tells us to be calm and meek
to take one blow and turn the other cheek.
It does not tell us what a soul should do
if the rude caitiff smite the other one, too!

5. (bit more serious)
If death should claim a little child, do not despair,
You'll find them there when your turn comes.
Meanwhile, they play with angels, fairies, and elves.
Don't weep too long for those who've gone,
it's not for them you're weeping,
but yourselves.

More fun. (except the last) #2 was my favourite. I realising I have a liking for smut. Yours at least.
