A little Humor...
----------------------------------------![]() The Dragon of Grindly Grun (by Shel Silverstein) I'm the Dragon of Grindly Grun, I breathe fire as hot as the sun. When a knight comes to fight I just toast him on sight, Like a hot crispy cinnamon bun. When I see a fair damsel go by, I just sigh a fiery sigh, And she'd baked like a 'tater- I think of her later With a romantic tear in my eye. I'm the Dragon of Grindly Grun, But my lunches aren't very much fun, For I like my damsels medium rare, and they always come out well done. ![]() |

A well chosen and well done social critique by Oliver Goldsmith
----------------------------------------Great find, Neil Hi cjslman - You're always welcome at our house! The Crocodile Went to the dentist And sat down in the chair, And the dentist said, "Now tell me, sir, Why does it hurt and where?" And the Crocodile said, "I'll tell you the truth, I have a terrible ache in my tooth," And he opened his jaws so wide, so wide, The the dentist, he climbed right inside, And the dentist laughed, "Oh isn't this fun?" As he pulled the teeth out, one by one. And the Crocodile cried, "You're hurting me so! Please put down your pliers and let me go." But the dentist laughed with a Ho Ho Ho, And he said, "I still have twelve to go- Oops, that's the wrong one, I confess, But what's one crocodile's tooth more or less?" Then suddenly, the jaws went SNAP, And the dentist was gone, right off the map, And where he went one could only guess... To North or South or East or West... He left no forwarding address. But what's one dentist, more or less? ![]() |

Break, break, break,
----------------------------------------On thy cold gray stones, O Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O, well for the fisherman's boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O, well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me. -Alfred Lord Tennyson :-) I'll keep making more..... ![]() |

World Poetry Day is on 21 March, and was declared by UNESCO in 1999. The purpose of the day is to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry throughout the world and, as the UNESCO session declaring the day says, to "give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements".

When I'm Old
----------------------------------------by Michael Holding When I'm old and mankey, I'll never use a hanky. I'll wee on plants and soil my pants and sometimes get quite cranky. |

"When I'm Old" was mocking
----------------------------------------When cjsl came knocking A pun for fun Can come undone And simply be quite shocking So count your birthdays in reverse Stave off the big black funeral hearse Sing out with song Laugh loud and long Things always could be worse April is National Poetry Month |
