Mental & Dental

“Thank you for calling the Bite Me Dental Clinic. How may I help you?”

“Could I make an appointment to see a dentist tomorrow?”

“Tooth hurty?”

“Hmm… anything earlier?”

Big Bang Theory

Greeks thought onomatopoeia

Sounded like a great idea

Causing pedagogues to yell it

Until it came time to spell it

A Pizza Advice

A woman scorned… all men are warned,
Is of the gravest matter.
As is the task, if she should ask:
Does this make me look fatter?

Taking The Pith

A rhyme for orange

The poet battles somewhat.

Hopes fade, or hinge,

When next faced with a kumquat.

Waist Not Want Knot

To see why we wear belts with pants

Just trail behind some elephants

Toy Boys

Hey, Barbie… are you real?

And do you ever give a thought

To why, with such appeal

It’s rumoured all your friends are bought?

Glad Tidings

The rainbow is God’s promise

Not to end all life again

A sign that all He wants is

For mankind to be His friend.

Forgiving past transgressions,

God protects Man as he goes

And so, we’re right to question:

What’s the deal with volcanoes?

Pretty Pleats

My origami friend once told

She’s well-known as a centerfold

And has no current plans for ceasing

While her bottom line’s in creasing

Utterly Speechless

Convinced my friend was now a mime

Marcel did not deny it

More so, he has been for some time

I thought: you’ve kept that quiet!

Pin Head

Pinocchio, despite his lies,

Still hoped he’d find a match

Then soon learned women don’t date guys

Who come with strings attached
