Crossing the Line

There once was a pig in Japan
who belonged to the Ku Klux Klan
until one day he joked
and instead he provoked
now he’s packed in a can of spam!

Usually, the only way of discovering your boundaries are by crossing them. The consequences of doing so, however, are not always worth the learning.

Silver Linings

If with every misfortune
you enter a cocoon
then rely on fate
for havoc to create
God needs a silk scarf soon!

Somehow, there is a means to view your current misfortune in an alternative, more positive way. Even if that fails to make you smile, it is worth remembering to never tempt fate to show you things could be much worse.

Foolishly unaware

There once was a fool
who sat on a stool
He pondered the world
while passersby hurled
for the smell was quite uncool!

Being unaware of your surroundings can have more dramatic effects than just a negative impact on your personal development.

If you’re warm and happy

There once was a man from Derry
who was so content drinking sherry
until one day he found
after asking around
that everyone thought he’s a fairy!

And so the fable goes… if you’re warm and happy, it’s best to keep your mouth shut.

Childhood folly – I think I can, I think I can

Once I thought I was Batman
and I hatched a serious game plan
unfortunately for me
I smashed my poor knee
by not flying from the ceiling fan.

It’s funny the things were think we can do when we are young, and sad the things we think we can’t when we’re older. Unfortunately, maturity is rarely all its cracked up to be.

It’s Complicated

There once was a girl John dated
who claimed things were complicated
it later turned out
that without any doubt
she found men were simply overrated!

Most times, things are not as complicated as we make them out to be. In fact, what we really want rarely ever is anything but simple.

Set them free

Baby won’t you please release me
like a bird I wanna be free
No, she replied
and like a crocodile she cried
I bet I’d make diamonds from debris!

Inconsideration

There once was an arse from Zimbabwe
inconsiderate and without a care
until one day he was fired
finally seen as undesired
now he’s begging for a thought to spare

For those pompous poodles that are so unnecessarily inconsiderate when they needn’t be, you will get what’s coming to you… someday.

Life is Short

There once was a man on Earth
who was clueless what his time was worth
until one day he found
that his hamster had drowned
and he realised his dearth of mirth

There is nothing quite like a rude shock to the system to make one realise that one might not be making the most out of this life.

Cognitive Dissonance

Once there was cognitive dissonance
preventing the manic washing of Hans
until one day he woke
finding it suddenly broke
and now he won’t even touch underpants!

Without cognitive dissonance, life could be quite challenging. Sometimes the brain thankfully protects us from forming logical links.

Imagine if you actually had a real link in your mind that the juicy chop on your table was once a little lamb happily hopping around in your garden?
