From Bad to Verse: Hemming and Hawing, Mint Condition, Oh Jeez

Hemming and Hawing 

A needle was asked 

How his day did go 

He quietly replied 

“Pretty much, sew sew” 

 

Oh Jeez 

I guess my humor 

Is out of control 

But bad puns are 

The way eye roll 

 

One Lie-ner 

Bingo players have seen it all B4 

 

Limerick (Untitled) 

I guess I will make the admission 

Those Tic-Tacs are not good nutrition 

But one thing is true 

They’re almost like new 

In fact, they are in mint condition 

 

Question 

Someone, somewhere 

Please tell me why 

Evaporated milk  

Isn’t dry 

 

Down Under 

My book on fixing basements up 

Is one you can’t resist 

I guess that’s why it made it to 

The Times’ best cellars list 

 

Bringing to Light 

When the invisible man 

Got hurt, it’s true 

Docs took him to 

The ICU 

 

Good Words 

Proper grammar 

Is heaven sent 

Too bad its days 

Have came and went
