This also has to stop

orchidee

Now, c'mon, says Fido to me

When will this stop?

These corny jokes you post

Most of them over a million years old

We've probably heard them all before!

 

Oh no! Not the 'Anyone seen Bill Posters or Bill Stickers' joke

As in 'Why they gonna be prosecuted? What have they done? 

 

And that tiresome Fire Door joke

'This door must be kept closed at all times;

So how we gonna get out if there is a fire?'

Jump out the window - unless your on the 19th floor or higher!

 

Don't tell us more, Orchi, says Fido

We'll be bored silly

And I just dozed off there myself 

(Fido, that is, not me - I was too busy writing the jokes)

Argh! Please don't inflict them on us

Ya knows we can't bear 'em

 

It's not like that joke in a comedy show

That whoever heard it couldn't stop laughing

With your jokes it's a case of

'Laugh; I never even started!'

It's the same for modern comedy shows

 

Now look, says Fido

Ya knows that guy who has a choice:

50 years prison or your jokes for a week - 

He chose your jokes

Worse than seeing a week of 'Neighbours'

Or an equally ghastly UK show

Now he's in the madhouse!

Heehee.

    • orchidee

      Thanks N. More people read this rubbish than my hymn-poems!

    • sorenbarrett

      Genius in madness to tell the entry to a joke and not finish it is the height of comedy. Another fun read but Fido may have a point

      • orchidee

        Thank you SB. Yes - can people bear my jokes?!

        • sorenbarrett

          For that you would have to ask someone that qualifies as being a person. No I am not AI. lol You are most welcome

              Hilarious! I love the way Fido’s exasperation mirrors how we all feel about old, corny jokes. The poem’s playful tone, clever exaggerations, and witty asides make it feel like a mini-comedy show in verse! Nicely written.

                Thank you FE. lol.

                Round and round it goes
                and where it stops
                nobody knows!
