No Bones about it

Kevin Hulme

On Prehistoric Animals I read quite alot,

So to the local Library I made a quick stop.

Well I asked the young lady behind the large desk;

Of which Authority is considered the best?

And she said with Reliance:  'Try Sarah Topps'.

            Thereโ€™s a wonderfully groan-worthy setup here, with the overly formal โ€œOf which Authority is considered the best?โ€ making the punchline feel inevitable in the best possible way. โ€œTry Sarah Toppsโ€ is exactly the kind of silly wordplay that earns an eye-roll and a smile.

              Yes. Thank you for Reading and your response.

              What a wonderfully groan-worthy little piece, Kevin. You build it like a proper question, keep a straight face, and then let the pun do all the damage. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Loved it, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›
