***
Some groups lend themselves to laughter and humor
They are young, middle age, and even late bloomers
People are funny. Yes, that much we know
So let’s take a quick look and get on with the show!
SINGLE WOMEN
It’s difficult to find that one special guy
Who doesn’t wear socks with sandals. But why?
She’ll kiss a frog cause he might be a prince
But if he is not – she’ll for sure want to rinse!
SINGLE MEN
They want a nice girl who can cook and can clean
Someone to show off. With whom they can be seen
A lovely lady he can keep on the shelf
When he wakes from this DREAM, he’ll still be by HIMSELF!
MARRIED COUPLES
Decades of marriage and bloom’s off the rose
Hubby uses wife’s dish towels when he blows his nose
Makes her so mad because she knows that he knows
Not to sit in the kitchen trimming nails on his toes!
CAT OWNERS
They love their kitties. Of that, there’s no doubt
Those petulant pets are prima donnas. They pout!
Their hairballs are coughed up all over the floor
You stepped on a wet one! You squealed, and you swore!
POLITICIANS
Their allegiance is sought and is easily bought
Selling their souls for that election jackpot!
They plead for your vote. They need your support
Trying to be honest is their LAST RESORT!
HYPOCHONDRIACS
Sick every day. (Cough!) Might not pull through
Does this look infected? (Cough!) It does to me too
Can’t help but to worry (Cough!) about this mutation
I think there’s no doubt (Cough!) it needs amputation!
HUNTERS
They love to kill animals. Executions! Such joy!
MORE guns are much better. Just toys for big boys
There is an old saying, “Whenever pigs fly”
Guys in camo will blow them right out of the sky
TELEVANGELISTS
Faith healers wearing glasses are difficult to trust
For your hard-earned cash, they can’t help but to lust
Buying a new plane that they know they will need
Donate money NOW! The Lord doesn’t mind greed!
ALPHA MALES
High-powered individuals. They’re gruff, and they’re rough
There’s NO flavored coffee for these guys. They’re tough!
They’re convinced beyond doubt it’s a vice to be nice
Besides, a latte with oat milk is too high a price!
MORTICIANS
They have a grim job. No glamour in that
It’s such lonely work. Their clients don’t chat!
A weird occupation, they approach with great calm
Cheerfully whistling as they start to embalm!
BAD DRIVERS
Some drive so slow they get passed by a jogger
Some drive in the middle just like a road hogger
Honk the car horn, and then make a bad gesture
When you use THAT finger – wife gives you a lecture!
PROCTOLOGISTS
Hiney hijinks! Bottoms up! You’re now on display
There goes your modesty – to your great dis-may
Please grab your ankles! Inspecting doctor will check
Each nook and each cranny you have below deck!
RURAL FOLKS
Because they’re hillbillies living out in the sticks
It’s assumed that these people are nothing but hicks
Yes, their teeth are outnumbered by all their tattoos
SO –
When they marry their cousins, it’s not such big news!
