THREE FROM FUSIONS

Michael Edwards

 

A beetle landed on my arm

it wouldn't go away

it wasn't doing any harm

so I thought I'd let it stay.

But it bit my arm quite badly

and the mark was so distinct

and I have to tell you sadly

that the beetle's now extinct.

-

 

Gin and tonic

Supersonic !

If you get hooked

your goose is cooked:

off to clinic

ton and ginic

Hic!

_

 

Please don’t play with your gun today

Guns are not toys with which you can play

A careless shot and you might end up dead;

something you need like a hole in the head.
