Daily Laughter Friday

Have a great Friday the day of the POETS

Have a great Friday and a better weekend

Berwick xxxx

I don’t want to go to school Mum

I want to stay at home with my duck.

I’d rather stay home with you Mum,

And hit the skirting board with my truck.

Don’t make me go to school today Mum,

I’ll sit here quite on the stairs

Or I’ll sit underneath the table

Scratching all the varnich of the chairs.

I don’t want to go to school Mum,

When I could be underneath your feet.

It’s shopping day and we could go together

Taking twisce as long to get to Regent Street.

And every time you stop to talk to someone

I won’t let you concentrate, no fear,

I’ll be jumping up and down beside you

Shouting ‘Can I have some sweets Mum?’ in your ear.

Or how about me doing a bit of painting?

Or what about a bit of cutting out?

Or sitting in the open bedroom window

Body in and legs sticking out?

Or what about us going up the park Mum?

Or how about me sitting in the sink?

Or what about me making you a cake Mum?

And Mum. Hey Mum. Mum can I have a drink?

Mum what’s that at the bottom of the cupboard?

And Mum, what’s that bad you put down there?

And hey Mum watch me jump straight off the sofa,

And Mum, whose dog is that stood over there?

What you doing Mum? Peeling potatoes?

Sit me on the drainer watching you

I wouldn’t mind me trousers getting wet Mum,

Oh I aren’t half fed up. What can I do?

What time is Daddy coming home Mum?

What’s in that long packet? Sausage Meat?

How long is it before he comes Mum?

And Mum. Hey Mum. What can I have to eat?

Oh sorry Mum! I’ve upset me Ribena.

Oh look! It’s making quite a little pool.

Hey Mum, hey, where we going in such a hurry?

Oh Mum! Hey Mum, you’re taking me to SCHOOL!

How I wish that I was tidy

How I wish that I was neat

How I wish I was methodical

Like others down out street.

I tried to stem the rising tide

I tried to hold it back

But I have been the victim

Of a heap of stuff attack.

Yes, heaps of stuff come creeping,

They clutter up the hall.

And heaps of stuff are softly

Climbing halfway up the wall.

At each end of the staircase

Is a giant heap, a stack;

One to carry up the stairs

And one to carry back.

In a heap of stuff invasion

They settle everywhere -

They grovel on the lino

They tower on the chair.

You're searching for a jacket,

"Is it in here?" you shout,

And, opening the cupboard door,

A heap of stuff falls out.

But heaps are many-faceted

And heaps are multi-faced

And what a heap is made of

Will depend on where it's placed.

Now if it's in the passage

It is mostly boots and shoes

And if it's on the sofa

It is magazines and news.

If it's in the shed

It's broken propagating frames

And if it's in the bathroom

Well, it's best to say no names,

And if it's in the bedroom -

Your own and not the guest's -

The heap of stuff is mostly made

Of socks and shirts and vests.

For a heap is indestructible,

It's something you can't fight.

If you split it up by day

It joins back up at night.

So cunningly positioned

as from room to room you trek,

Increasing all the chances

That you trip and break your neck.

But step into my parlour

Now I've forced the door ajar;

I'll excavate an easy chair -

Just cling there where you are.

And together we'll survey it

Till our eyes they feast enough

On the tidiest home in England

Underneath the heaps of stuff.

I'm making my brother my personal slave,

so now when I greet you my brother will wave.

He'll do all my homework; he'll take all my tests.

He'll clean up my messes and wait on my guests.

He'll hold out my hanky whenever I sneeze.

He'll say that he did it if I "cut the cheese."

He'll go take a bath if I play in the dirt.

He'll eat all my spinach, then feed me dessert.

He'll empty the garbage and vacuum the floors

and finish my other unsavory chores,

like washing the dishes and mowing the yard

or anything else even modestly hard.

I really enjoy all the effort I save

by making my brother my personal slave.

And though I'll admit how exciting it is,

I'm not sure it's worth it, 'cause next week I'm his.

amusement park ride.

I didn't fly kites,

or have any travels,

or see any sights.

I didn't watch movies

with blockbuster crowds,

or lay on the front lawn

and look at the clouds.

I didn't go swimming

at pools or beaches,

or visit an orchard

and pick a few peaches.

I didn't become

a guitarist or drummer,

but, boy, I played plenty

of Minecraft this summer.

NEW EMPLOYEE

the manager of a large office asked a new employee to come into his office. "What is your name?," was the first thing the manager asked.

"John," the new guy replied. The manager scowled. "Look, I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name! It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority," he said. "I refer to my employees by their last name only - Smith, Jones, Baker - that's all. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?" The new guy sighed and said, "Darling. My name is John Darling." The manager said, "Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you..."

LIFE AFTER DEATH

His foreman noticed and asked if it was bad news.

"To be shure it was, Boss" he replied, "I just found out that my mother died earlier this morning.

"Gosh, that's awful," replied the foreman "Do you want the rest of the day off?"

"No," replied Paddy. "I'll finish the day out."

About an hour later, the foreman returned to inform him that

there was another phone call for him in the office.

A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter's wedding.

He'll be in a good mood when he gets back." "Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom."

REDNECK TRUCKERS

Two Country truck drivers are barreling along when they come up to a low bridge.

A sign says, "Clearance: 11"2'." So they get out, measure their truck, and realize that it's 11"6'.

know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

The guy replies, "I`m Joe Cohen, taxi-driver, of Noo Yawk City."

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi-driver,

"Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

The taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it`s the minister`s turn.

He stands erect and booms out,

"I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary`s for the last forty-three years."

Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister,

"Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a taxi-driver,

and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?"

"Up here, we work by results," says Saint Peter.

PRESENTS FROM A SHEIK

There was a businesswoman who just made a millions of dollars for

an Arabian Oil Sheik. When she was leaving the Oil Sheik

offered her Diamonds and rubies and a Silver-plated Rolls

Royce, but she declined.

The Sheik insisted so she said that she just started to golf

and maybe a set of golf clubs would be nice.

A few weeks later she received a telegram from the sheik.

"So far I have bought you 3 golf clubs. I hope you aren't

disappointed that only 2 of them have swimming pools."

*SCOUSE* * VASECTOMY

After having their 11th child, a * *Liverpudlian* * couple decided that was enough, as the social couldn't buy them a bigger bed and they weren't strong enough to nick one. The husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix the problem but it was expensive.. A less costly alternative was to go home, get a firework, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10. The Scouser said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

"Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor. So the man went home, lit a banger and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs so he could continue counting on his other hand.

This procedure also works** ** in Middlesbrough, parts of Bradford and anywhere in Wales.*

COMMING TO BLOWS

There was this little guy sitting in a bar, drinking his beer, minding his own business when all of a sudden this great big guy comes in and -- WHACK!! -- knocks him off the bar stool and onto the floor. The big guy says, "That was a karate chop from Korea." The little guy thinks "GEEZ," but he gets back up on the stool and starts drinking again when all of a sudden -- WHACK!! -- the big dude knocks him down AGAIN and says, "That was a judo chop from Japan." So the little guy has had enough of this... He gets up, brushes himself off and quietly leaves.

The little guy is gone for an hour or so when he returned. Without saying a word, he walks up behind the big guy and -- WHAM!!!" --

knocks the big dude off his stool, knocking him out cold!!! The little guy looks at the bartender and says, "When he gets up, tell him that was a crowbar from Screwfix.

He never leaves the seat up

Or wet towels upon the floor

The toothpaste has the lid on

And he always shuts the door!

She’s very clean and tidy

Though she may sometimes delude

Leave your things out at your peril

In a second they’ll have moved!

He’s a very active person

As are all his next of kin

Where as she likes lazy days

He’ll still drag her to the gym!

He romances her and dines her

Home cooked dinners and the like

He even knows her favourite food

And spoils her day and night!

She’s thoughtful when he looks at her

A smile upon his face

Will he look that good in 50 years

When his dentures aren’t in place?!

He says he loves her figure

And her mental prowess too

But when gravity takes her over

Will she charm with her IQ?

She says she loves his kindness

And his patience is a must

And of course she thinks he’s handsome

Which in her eyes is a plus!

They’re both not wholly perfect

But who are we to judge

He can be pig headed

Where as she won’t even budge!

All that said and done

They love the time they spent together

And I hope as I’m sure you do

That this fine day will last forever.

He’ll be more than just her husband

He’ll also be her friend

And she’ll be more than just his wife

She’s be his soul mate ‘till the end.

That's It friends till Monday

Have a great Friday and have a fun tied weekend
