Death Adder

12.3.2010

There’s a bloke who lives in Queensland…who is lucky to be alive

Bitten by a death adder… which very few survive

He was digging up a tennis court  when something touched a nerve

It  knocked him sprawling off his feet… with the force of a strong serve

 

It was the deadly toxin… spurting from the adder fang

That put his life in jeopardy…  in the balance it did hang.

So keep away from tennis courts… that’s where the adders hide

Many who ignore that word…  unnecessarily have died.

 

He picked a ball up off the court… and shied it at the sky

And then he shied the ball again…once bitten then twice shy.

He felt an impulse then to throw… anywhere he chose

Amy ball he happened on… these could have been death throws!

And then he shied the ball again

Once bitten … then twice shy. 

 

 

Kekovitch

11.3.2010

 

Sam Kekovich will have a say

In this year’s state election

It doesn’t mean  Sam wants a seat

Or candidate selection.

 

He’s a walking advert for the meat

Is the old footballer Sam

And judging by the size of him

He’s living on the fat of the LAMB

 

As the LAMB goes to the slaughter

He’s taking up the fight

Of course he backs the Liberals

For you know that Sam is right!

 

He should go well in politics

People love the aging hams

 

To state the bleating obvious

It’s the Science of the Lambs.

 

 

Aircraft Accidents

10.3.2010

 

Air travel is getting safer…

 

Aircraft accidents falling

They’re going through the roof

Let us just  rephrase that

They’re safer… here’s the proof.

 

The planes are having accidents

Less than one in every million

Much safer than a motor bike

Especially riding on the pillion.

 

A quarter of the accidents

Don’t happen in the air…

But planes run off the runway

And even they are rare.

 

Some are hitting flocks of birds

Still more are pilot error

Not to be under-rated

For it leads to cabin terror.

 

You’d have to be unlucky

When you’re travelling the fly way

Where your chances are much better

Than driving on the midlands high way

 

Chickenfeed

9.3.2010

 

Chickenfeed will allow charity to use their warehouse for storage.

 

Chickenfeed is closing down

Operations in this state

Yes, Chickenfeed has flown the coop

Someone didn’t shut the gate.

 

It wasn’t that we threw them out

That would have caused a howl

If we had tried to kill them off

Murder would have been most foul!

 

It started many years ago

When  they stepped out  on their best leg

It grew out of one good idea

And  a pretty hefty nest egg

 

Ms Cameron has been generous

She heads the pecking order

And she deserves the grateful thanks

That Tasmanians can accord her

 

For the warehouse goes to charity

When Chickenfeed goes abroad

They have its use  for ten years hence

Which they never could afford.

 

So all the best to Chickenfeed

We will hear them in our sleep

Singing” Chicken feed, don’t cha love ‘em”

With the chickens going cheap!.

 

 

Grandparents and Fat Kids

8.3.2010

 

Let’s blame poor old grandma

And maybe even Pop

For fattening up the grandkids

With pocket money for the shop.

To win the kids’ affection

Should be easy peasy

If we feed them bits of chocolate

And something nice and greasy.

 

If you are guilty of this Gran

Or Grandpa… you must cease

You don’t want those lovely grand kids

To be unhealthily obese.

But all this begs the question

Who has made them baby sitters

Grandmas should be gardening

And baby bootee knitters

 

The old man should be playing golf

Or in the walking club

Not buying friendship with some sweets

Or putting down the bub.

The fat lady is singing

As she croons the babe to sleep

Beware as you exploit her

Just what harvest you may reap.

 

For there is a natural order.

To ignore I fear ‘twill cost.

If parents don’t take care of kids

Generations could be lost.
