Rodney would often eat poo
and burp when he started to chew.
His family of rabbits
had terrible habits
and created a hullabaloo!

Pinpricks of light amid the darkness — bluebird of bitterness
Quokkas twice in a day has to be some sort of record.
Apart from that, this is really lovely, and well worth a look at the original too. There are some nice people around, and you don’t have to look far to find them!
Recently Sunny Skyz posted a collection of the most wholesome tweets of 2018. I’m recycling a few of my favorites here. See them all here.

Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 13/01/2019
This week Jim has set us the prompt of laugh/laughter/laughing for our music choice. You can see all the entries here.
My offering takes me right back to childhood, but the origin of the song goes even further back, to the 1890’s.
I somehow doubt that any of our younger SLS participants will have heard of this song.
The reason it reminds me of childhood is that in the surrounding villages there was normally an annual fête or carnival. This was much anticipated and there would be carnival floats, a carnival queen, complete with entourage, dancing troupes, bands, bowling for the pig, a crockery smashing stall, and so much more. The whole, marvellous day would be started off with a procession, through the village, of all the floats (see examples here). There would be dancers, bands, jugglers, often a fire engine, and The Laughing Policeman. I’m sure that by the end of the day he must have been exhausted, and his sides must have really ached.
The Laughing Policeman
I know a fat old policeman
he’s always on our street
a fat and jolly red faced man
he really is a treat
he’s too kind for a policeman
he’s never known to frown
and everybody says he is the happiest man in town
(laughing)
He laughs upon point duty
he laughs upon his beat
he laughs at everybody when he’s walking in the street
he never can stop laughing
he says he’s never tried
but once he did arrest a man
and laughed until he cried
(laughing)
his jolly face is wrinkled
and then he shut his eyes
he opened his great mouth
is was a wondrous size
he said I must arrest you
he didn’t know what for
and then he started laughing
until he cracked his jaw
(laughing)
so if you chance to meet him
when walking round the town
just shake him by his fat old hand
and give him half a crown
his eyes will beam and sparkle
he’ll gurgle with delight
and then you’ll start him laughing
with all his blessed might
(laughing)

Pernickety Polly, my parrot
ate nothing but cabbage and carrot
She oft shouted out
I’ll not eat that sprout
but get me a nice glass of claret
Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 23/12/2018 – Season
Well, I guessed wrongly!
Having had “Boys”, then “Girls”, I just lost the shirt off my back by betting on “Babies”.
However, it is the season of a baby so I could have gone with my original idea, but I won’t!
I’m not even going to give you the lyrics to this song, you’ll know most of them anyway. So, just sit back, relax, and enjoy a bit of fun. I defy you not to smile a little bit!
I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas, and that the New Year is one with a bit of fun, lots of good health, a modicum of success, the love of family and friends, and some good music!

A noble Narwhal from the East
was invited to go to a feast
he set off at dusk
with his 8 foot long tusk
to find that the host was deceased

Justin the Jaguar was mad
He’d argued with Mum and with Dad
Steam came from his ears
and then there were tears
which made them all terribly sad

Laura the lamb was really embarrassed.
Late for school, yet again!
It was bad enough that her Mum insisted on taking her every day, always waiting outside the gates, there for everyone to see.
No other Mum had 2 bodies; and why did the legs always try to go in different directions?

A horny iguana once said,
“It is awkward when going to bed.
With spikes down my back,
when I get in the sack
I often make holes in my head!”

Herbert the hippo was fat
there’s no denying of that
When bathing in mud
other animals should
beware when Herbert goes splat!
