A Farewell To Winter

Winter Pleasures
I hate
To skate.

Ski
Not for me.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Lugeing
I do not find amusing


I would go a long way
Rather than sleigh.

I will construct an abominable snowman
For no man.

In short, though I am told
It is very healthy to be cold,

I consider ice
Far from nice.

And to the question, “Do you like snow?”
My answer is definitely “No!”

Good bye Winter ... Welcome Spring

The Human Body
Mar 08, 2009 | 9:43AM
It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach. 
 One human hair can support 3 kg (6.6 lb).

 The average man's [censored] is three times the length of his thumb.

 Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

 A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.

 There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
  
 Women blink twice as often as men.

 The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.
  
 Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

 If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

 Women reading this will be finished now. href="http://tinypic.com" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Image and video hosting by TinyPic

 Men are still busy checking their thumbs.

The Sheriff in a small town walks out in the street and sees a
blonde Cowboy coming down the walk with nothing on but his cowboy hat,
gun, and his boots, so he arrests him for indecent exposure.


 As he is locking him up, he asks "Why in  the world are you dressed like this?"
 
The Cowboy says: "Well it's like this Sheriff ... I was in the bar down
the road Image and video hosting by TinyPic and this pretty little red head asks me to go out to her motor home
Image and video hosting by TinyPic face="Tahoma" size="4">with her .... so I did.

We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my
shirt .. so I did.

Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my  pants ..
so I did.

Then she pulls off her panties and asks  me to pull off my shorts
so I did.

Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy and says,
"Now go to town cowboy....," 

"And here I am! Image and video hosting by TinyPic "

Albert Down Under

Albert Down Under
by Marriott Edgar

Albert were what you'd call "thwarted".
He had long had an ambition, which...
Were to save up and go to Australia,
The saving up that were the hitch.

He'd a red money box on the pot shelf,
A post office thing made of tin,
But with him and his Dad and the bread knife,
It never had anything in.

He were properly held up for bobbins,
As the folk in the mill used to say,
Till he hit on a simple solution -
He'd go as a young stowaway.

He studied the sailing lists daily,
And at last found a ship as would do.
"S.S. Tosser:, a freighter from Fleetwood,
Via Cape Horn to Wooloomooloo.

He went off next evening to Fleetwood,
And found her there loaded and coaled,
Slipped over the side in the darkness,
And downstairs and into the hold.

The hold it were choked up with cargo,
He groped with his hands in the gloom,
Squeezed through bars of what felt like a grating,
And found he had plenty of room.

Some straw had been spilled in one corner,
He thankfully threw himself flat,
He thought he could hear someone breathing,
But he were too tired to fret about that.

When he woke they were out in mid-ocean,
He turned and in light which were dim,
Looked straight in the eyes of a lion,
That were lying there looking at him.

His heart came right up in his tonsils,
As he gazed at that big yellow face.
Then it smiled and they both said together,
"Well, isn't the world a small place?"

The lion were none other than Wallace,
He were going to Sydney, too.
To fulfil a short starring engagement
In a cage at Taronga Park Zoo.

As they talked they heard footsteps approaching,
"Someone comes" whispered Wallace, "Quick, hide".
He opened his mouth to the fullest,
And Albert sprang nimbly inside.

'Twere Captain on morning inspection,
When he saw Wallace shamming to doze,
He picked up a straw from his bedding,
And started to tickle his nose.

Now Wallace could never stand tickling,
He let out a mumbling roar,
And before he could do owt about it,
He'd sneezed Albert out on the floor.

The Captain went white to the wattles,
He said, "I'm a son of a gun".
He had heard of beasts bringing up children,
But were first time as he'd seen it done.

He soon had the radio crackling,
And flashing the tale far and wide,
Of the lad who'd set out for Australia,
Stowed away in a lion's inside.

The quay it were jammed with reporters,
When they docked on Australian soil.
They didn't pretend to believe it,
But 'twere too good a story to spoil.

And Albert soon picked up the language,
When he first saw the size of the fruit,
There was no more "by gum" now or "Champion",
It were "Whacko!", "Too right!" and "You beaut!".

They gave him a wonderful fortnight,
Then from a subscription they made,
Sent him back as a "Parcel for Britain",
Carriage forward, and all ex's paid

Albert and the ' eadsman

This one is a scary One ....

Albert And The 'Eadsman


On young Albert Ramsbottom's birthday
His parents asked what he'd like most;
He said to see t' Tower of London
And gaze upon Anne Boleyn's ghost.

They thowt this request were unusual
And at first to refuse were inclined,
'Til Pa said a trip t' metrollopse
Might broaden the little lad's mind.

They took charrybank up to London
And got there at quarter to fower,
Then seeing as pubs wasn't open
They went straight away to the tower.

They didn't think much to the buildin'
'T weren't what they'd been led to suppose,
And the 'Bad Word' Tower didn't impress them,
They said Blackpool had got one of those.

At last Albert found a Beefeater
And filled the old chap with alarm.
By asking for Ghost of Anne Boleyn
As carried her 'ead 'neath her arm.

Said Beefeater 'You ought to come Fridays
If it's ghost of Anne Boleyn you seek,
Her union now limits her output
And she only gets one walk a week.

'But,' he said, 'if it's ghosts that you're after,
There's Lady Jane Grey's to be seen,
She runs around chased by the 'Eadsman
At midnight on th' old Tower Green.'

They waited on t' green till near midnight,
Then thinking they'd time for a sup,
They took out what food they'd brought with them
And waited for t' ghost to turn up.

On the first stroke of twelve, up jumped Albert,
His mouth full of cold, dripping toast,
With his stick with the 'orses 'ead 'andle
He pointed, and said 'Here's the ghost!'

They felt their skins going all goosey
As Lady Jane's Spectre drew near
And Albert fair swallered his tonsils
When the 'Eadsman an' all did appear.

The 'Eadsman chased Jane round the grass patch
They saw his axe flash in the moon
And seeing as poor lass were 'eadless
They wondered what what next he would prune.

He suddenly caught sight of Albert
As midnight was on its last chime
As he lifted his axe, father murmered
'We'll get the insurance this time.'

At that, Mother rose, taking umbridge;
She said, 'Put that cleaver away.
You're not cutting our Albert's 'ead off,
Yon collar were clean on today.

The brave little lad stood undaunted
'Til the ghost were within half a pace.
Then taking the toast he were eating,
Slapped it, dripping side down, in his face.

'T were a proper set-back for the 'Eadsman
He let out one 'owl of despair,
Then taking his ladyfriend with him
He disappeared - just like that, there.

When Pa saw the way as they vanished
He trembled with fear and looked blue,
'Til Ma went and patted his shoulder
An' said, 'Sallright lad, we saw it too.'

Some say 'twere the drippin' as done it,
From a roast leg of mutton it came,
And as th' 'Eadsman had been a Beefeater
They reckon he vanished from shame.

And around Tower Green, from that moment,
They've ne're seen a sign of the ghost,
But when t' Beefeaters go on night duty,
They take slices of cold drippin' toast.
