Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

If the Cape of Good Hope
Was located on a slope
Would you still get a thrill
If things went downhill?

  1. I think it's like riding down hill on a sled in the snow. You still get a thrill and you still have hope you'll reach the bottom safely.

    My son's tumor shunk and his operation is Thrusday morning.
    Please continue to keep him in
    your prayers! GOD Bless You and Yours!!!

  2. The Cape of Good Hope
    Is on a slope
    Things are going downhill
    But I find it has no thrill -
    At least not of the sort
    with which joy is bought.

  3. Ah, the lovely Cape Horn,
    was not where I was born.

    But I knew a man whose home
    was down there midst the foam

    and the flotsam and the jetsom
    and the driftwood and the sand.
    He always talked at length
    about his beloved homeland.

    So lovely did it sound,
    I asked him to take me round.

    To show me all the places
    and all his familiar faces.

    Due south for ten hours we flew
    and he seemed to get more blue.

    Going home is never easy,
    but it seemed to make him queasy.

    Upon returning to his land,
    he refused to hold my hand.

    He wouldn't call me honey,
    not for any amount of money.

    And most certainly no kiss,
    or a night time of loving bliss.

    It seemed with his family near
    he had become a lot less 'queer'.

    One final manly slap on the back,
    and I decided that my bag I would pack.

    He begged and he pleaded,
    But what he that he really needed,

    the love of different man.
    One who would put up with his sham.
