Planning Jokes For Funerals comic poem number 507 by Angela Lansbury

 Comedian Brad kept notebooks for jokes

When a novice, being paid was his hope

The setup, the contrast, surprise and twist

He learned to plan jokes so nothing was missed

Making a joke is a habit in time

So you're ready with puns or a punchline

Instead of seeking joke doctors for health

Make up good jokes to amuse your good self.

Plan a joke for all hearing of a birth

On the joy baby gains, mother's lost girth

Plan a joke for engagement or wedding

Or for divorce, if that's where you're heading

I'm getting old so I'll leave a last joke 

For my funeral tea, here's what I spoke

'She was good-hearted - sad she's departed 

But glad it's not me - there's more drink for me!

Funny Bunny Blogger Spotted by Angela Lansbury

 

A blog's exiting, new and cute

Like fur, like smiles, like a silky suit

But a blogger's like a farmer

Looking, waiting, for a reader

A blog's a battle, a blog is art

A blog's a skill, speaks from your heart

Yet being a blogger's such a bother

Watching the numbers tumble and crumble

What can I add to the mixture?

Always pouncing on a picture

Noting everything you eat

Your every move, or treat, must tweet

Or short and sweet

Or better be bitter on Twitter

Then after you put in lots of time

Suddenly the numbers climb

I really want my posts to thrive

I wonder, and worry, if they'll survive

Readers, breeders, who are they? Far away

My unknown friends have made my day

I hope I gave them a great big laugh

Sigh, smile, confused, half and half

I must make blogging a daily habit

Until the readers breed like rabbits

I'm rarely rude, or crude or lewd -

Unless that happens to be my mood

A picture's worth a thousand words

So add cute pix, make sure I'm heard

I need not end too worldly wise

Enough ears up, wide-eyed surprise.
