5 in a row
Bombs in west Bradley
5 bombs
In a row
Molotov bread basket
Undertaker
I was an undertaker
He was an over taker
Who reached heaven first?
There was a speed limit on the stairway to heaven
But an escalator down to hell
Treason , the reason of a tree. When arguing with a tree it's always a good idea to suggest it be treasonable and to stop barking orders at you. Do trees actually like to be weed on by dogs? They may just see as a bit of watering and quite like it, instead of getting mad. You can't assume all trees are untreasonable.

Inspiring work
The steeple jack came
What work are you in?
I'm in spires,
oh how inspiring, I'm an aspiring steeplejack you know
Oh really? What line of work are you in?
I'm a roofer, I only do flat roofs,, but I need to branch out
Extend my self
It's about the elevation,
well only do it if you're inclined
Oh I am inclined, very much inclined
I look up at the church roof and think
That tower needs something
Oh and I don't mean cornices or more gargoyles, no sir
It needs a little je ne sai qua
A spire?
Exactly
A spire to reach to the stars
To touch God's hand
Well let's not get carried away
Say are you busy these days?
Well, I'm running from one spire to another near enough
Oh a steeplechase?
You could say
Well I know of a church, the damn spire just fell off
Crack and came spiralling down
Caught a parishioner totally unawares
Mrs Beeching , terrible thing
She never did have a head for heights
always afraid to climb the tower's spiral staircase
and Now she has spire for a head
Not very inspiring,
She has a steeple through her temples
She finally got the point
Unfortunately it struck her too late
Well the thing is the cockerel hit her first
She heard this whirring
And the weather vein span down like a helicopter
It had fallen off
North, South, East or West, it kept spinning
She was dizzy with which way the wind was blowing
Then?
A golden hen, finally came home to roost
Well you should be careful not to keep all your eggs in one basket
My dear man it was a cockerel, not a chicken, a golden cockerel
My wife is into cocks too,
I beg your pardon? Cock-a-toos?
No cockerels, the weather veins
She paints them, gold leaf you see, we do a double act
I take em off their high perch, and she gives
Them a new lease of life
That's rather gilding the lily isn't it?
Well, it's rather gilding the cock
Ah the man with the golden gun
Oh your veins are so glorious I see
weather they are or Whether they are not
Is not for me to say
She's the weather-woman
and I'm the steeple jack
Actually Perry the stone mason is my name
Though I'm also into flying buttresses
And my wife is Jemima the gold leaf artist
She's up at the crack of dawn, painting cockerels like the sun
So you are into butts and your wife is into cocks
Well good day to you sir!

April fool
In jest - many a true word is said ingest:
You banter, I canter
You chaff, I chafe
You fool, I muel, and mew
Said in fun, I reach for my gun
You tell a gag, I reach for the rag
Disgrace, lose face, egg on my face
Just jape, I try to escape
You jive, and I barely stay alive
You make a joke, and I am like a whiff of smoke
You jolly broom man, drunk on life
I pull out my brolly, wait for rains' strife
You josh, I am flotsam and jetsam awash
You kid, I bring the sacrificial lamb of I am
And it's just a quip, but I equip myself with weapons and armour
I'm readying for war games
You wisecrack, and I break, I snap
I'm on the edge, like Iran
My finger hovers over the button
Just then a leaf falls from a tree
And upsets the balance between you and me
yuck you say, get a sense of humour
I was only pulling your leg
In jest you say that I shouldn't care
this jibe, or that haze,
When you jeer, a tear falls from my eye
When you mock, the grace of God in shock
I shake at your rag, tag rally,
Laughing down the alley
Always on the razz,
But which is the better way?
My quiet, way, of restraint
Or to let loose every day
In bitterness or not to rib,
To ridicule, tease, it's mean
But what if you don't fit in
To society's mould
Then how the world unfolds
In caricature, of prophets
lampoon the man in the moon
parody, and get carted away
For being a bit mad, a little loon
satirize as a Satyr , never satisfied as a martyr
Has to always go that one step farther
To prove your point
And have the last laugh

Detective Tight Ladder
I was getting my tools together to go
Window cleaning
When I noticed a pair of tights in my ladder
How did they get there I thought
I have no explanation
Had I lent my ladders to John, the cross-dressing, transvestite window cleaner?
No, that was last week, he had given them back, ladderless
Tight-ass the builder also borrowed them
He could have got his tight ass stuck in them
But did he wear tights?
The plot thickened, and so did my porridge as I stirred it and pondered
Pondered and stirred it
Then it hit me, there was that lad the other week, he had borrow it for his
Amatuer dramatic show, they had been building the scenery and erecting
and painting the backdrop
Aladdin tights, that was it, a cross between the Arabian nights and Billie Eliot
So in the end he had a ladder in his tights,
And I had his tights in my ladder,
The mystery was solved

Jokes upside down
I worked at an undertakers once
It was a nice little Urn-er
A tree surgeon - a Tree who likes to cut
off people's limbs
I put the vet in the car, he was getting old
And I brought to the Cat's
The cat was very nice about it as I sat the vet
on the table and the cat patted his head
And stroking his ears
The vet seemed to like it and calmed down
And then the Cat administered the deadly serum

Hole and Corner
hole and corner
Take me there in fires
Swear
The bold and free of purgatory
Hole and corner
Fear
Ship them off to foreign shore
Make me soft
In the cure
Take my heart and blur
The boundaries
Fire me steel in the foundries
Pumping iron
And the bellows
Scorching heat in hell's belows
Fired goodbyes and so long so's
Shake my hand when you say hello
But wake me when you wave my grave
I have no flowers in the shade
Cut the sun like a yoke
And pour me some
Like a joke
Hole and corner
Oh John Thorner
Pulled his thumb out
Of the plumb

I saw a man dressed as a bird walking down the street
I told him to stop making a tit out of himself
I just spotted a tit flock down on the Hamwall nature reserve, and now it turns out they have built a large car park to encourage even more tits to flock there! At least I think that's what it's there for.

give me a fighting chance
not a chance
you've got to pick and choose
It's a song and dance
But you've got to be in it to win it
to stand a chance
You don't have to name and shame
I did things wrong, I cheated the game
He came out trumps
She was shot down in flames
It gives me goose bumps
To try to say her name
And it's not what she claims
I didn't shoulder the blame
It was not me who pulled the trigger
It was not me who killed the dame
But the writing's on the wall
For to be seen by one and all
For they name and shame
Both him and her
When love's a losing game

Containing the most enormous pair of lungs

Joke 350 Cannibal
Cannibalism between friends, well you've got to make friends meat haven't you.
Cannibalism among stranger, they told me I had to get out and start meating new people
Damien Rice wrote a song called Cannibal too:
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't say what's going on
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannibal
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
Love, it taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannibal
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
