Topic: Just for a laugh a poem titled, “I Guess”

Hopefully my warped surreal sense of humour will make you laugh.

                       I Guess

Oh my isn’t it strange using a chainsaw to cut the lawn

Isn’t it strange how things have become de arranged

I guess that’s the way of the world

My scissors are blunt

I can’t cut the tree stump

I quess that people have forgot how to hunt

I guess that's the way of the world

Turn the helicopter upside down

Use its blades to cut the lawn

I guess that’s the way of the world

Lighten up when you see me coming

I don’t want to see you running

I guess that’s the way of the world

That is indeed the way of the world. And seeing as you're at the underside of it I guess if you turned a helicopter upside down it would be the right way up?

Re: Just for a laugh a poem titled, “I Guess”

Peatle - that made me smile !

strange times indeed. A poem I used to read to my daughters from the book "Where the Sidewalk" Ends reminds me of the people in the world now.

this is the poem

    Smart

    My dad gave me one dollar bill
    ‘Cause I’m his smartest son,
    And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
    ‘Cause two is more than one!

    And then I took the quarters
    And traded them to Lou
    For three dimes — I guess he didn’t know
    That three is more than two!

    Just then, along came old blind Bates
    And just ’cause he can’t see
    He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
    And four is more than three!

    And then I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
    Down at the seed-feed store,
    And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
    And five is more than four!

    And then I went and showed my dad,
    And he got red in the cheeks
    And closed his eyes and shook his head —
    Too proud of me to speak!

Cheers Piri, With bloodshot eyes and all that blood running to my head no wonder I get strange thoughts rushing into my head.

Some of the critics off NZ say because we are living down under our up is down instead of climbing to the top we are climbing to the bottom.


Good one Jim, I liked that poem thank you for sharing.

That's a cracker Jim, well thought out and executed.

I'd just like to ask: who decided that north was up and south was down anyway?
Can airplanes go south faster than when they go north?
Are bats from the southern hemisphere because they hang upside down?     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Cheers guys it has always been perception and deception smoke and mirrors if you look back in history and time.

Life is a Roller Coaster sometimes it up sometimes it's down.  Some say it goes back to Eve been deceived by a snake.

That’s why I love the old Brit tv  shows on things that changed our fate Black Adder and Yes Minister.  They don’t seem to make shows like that with a good satirical take on things anymore. I rather be Sir Laugh A lot  than Sir Lance  A Lot.
 
Piri some say we play cricket with our bats upside down.
