FUNNY OF THE WEEK:

MAID OF MONEY

Copyright; Bob Wombacher

"Doc, I'm really in a pickle;
My little girl just ate a nickel,
And then coughed up, (in random order),
A dime, three pennies and a quarter.
I'm at a loss, Doc; what to do?
I'll leave prognoses up to you."
(I've prospered doing as he bid:
Just feeding nickels to my kid.)

FUNNY POEM OF THE WEEK

========================================

FROWING OLD GRACEFULLY

Copyright; Donna Vickodil

There's a mole on my neck that's growing a hair
When I was younger it wasn't there
A lot of things changed since I've grown older
like my fallen arches and this hump on my shoulder

Yesterday I noticed a twitch in one eye
and spots on my hand that resemble a fly
I used to be able to party all night
but now to stay awake until five is a fight

My breasts used to be firm and quite pert
Now I have to be careful they don't drag in the dirt
Gravity surely has taken its toll
What was once on the surface is now in a hole

The backs of my arms are wobbly like jelly
and I found the remote tucked under my belly
I used to eat steak but now I can't chew it
Growing old gracefully. I don't think I can do it

She was treble-chinned, old, her devastating smile was netted in wrinkles, but I felt the fever briefly returning as we sat there, crippled, hating time and the lie of general pleasantries. Small waves still break against the small stone pier where a boatman left me in the orange peace of dusk, a half-century ago, maybe happier being erect, she like a deer in her shyness, I stalking an impossible consummation; those who knew us knew we would never be together, at least, not walking. Now the silent knives from the intercom went through us.                                                                                                                                           Derek Walcott   This poem is from White Egrets Published by Faber & Faber.   Notices   Poetry&Words at Glastonbury now open for submissions Calling all poets, bards, rappers, spoken word artists and versifiers Poetry&Words is now taking applications for performers at this year's Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts.
