Oh Barbara, she has a tot

In eight atrocious years.

Tot's Song

O*d *cDona*d had a far*
E-I-E-I-O
And on that far* he had ten shy shaggy sheep
E-I-E-I-O
Here a shy "Baa", there a shy "Baa"
Every*here that constant stuttered, "B-a-a"!

Chorus (taut staccato):

E-I-E-I-O
E-I-E-I-O

View with:
ithout three etters

(not a very strong)
Unfunny, idiotic
Frantic or chaotic
Sad, bad, odd
So hep God!
A headache, sot, I hate
See, hy hesitate?
Aha, see a sea!
Aha, aha, aha! See?

Dharam Khalsa with:
Bertha has one hairy sheep,
Soft as cottage cheese--
Oh, a curiosity of the area!
Yet, as the beast has a tendency
To eat such rough vegetation,
Indeed, it has diarrhea,
And dehydration too! Baaa!

Meyran Kraus with:
To a fancy area,
A region oh-so chaste,
Arrived a teenage eerie boy
That rather had bad taste.
He chose to say "DIE, ASSHO*E!",
"A FUC*IN' *HORE!" and "S*UT!",
So they had one neat idea...
To stitch the big yap shut.


Ellie Dent with:
Do I see a pig, or a dog?
And do I scent, or sense a hog,
A hunch, to eat? Oh, hey!
Taste a tender cut today.
Hush...it is a feast to be.
Hear the cry, the body, see.
Yes, it's over here...aaah,
I can hear that faint baaa...

Rosie Perera with:
A baby sheep, covered in shag
Attended a teacher's course.
Bad creature, it annoyed the hag.
Naughty and fast as a horse.

Tots said, "Hee hee! Yahoo!"
In the hot cafeteria.
"Yahooo......!"
It is the tots' aria.

Rosie Perera with:
A Dead Baa

Spring is for the critters' birth.
Then they nauseate the earth.
I say, catch and carve one, boss.
Then digest it, doused in sauce.
Yo-ho-ho! Aha! A feast!
Yeeehaaaaa! Ooh, they're good to eat!

Dharam Khalsa with:
"That's an odd one! Ha-ha-ha-ha!" assessed a cynic.
Hey, don't hesitate or be a yahoo critic;
Behave, get that essay idea together,
As it's another obtained feather
In your outrageous feathered cap!

Dharam Khalsa with:
Sarah has a naughty ovine tiny;
It has a peach coat, so shiny!
About a neighborhood they strode.
After it defecated on the road,
A teacher says, "Atrocious beast!"
And Gia teased her, "Tehee tehee!"

Ellie Dent with:
Once a sheep, soft and shy,
is in the neighborhood,
a teacher haas to try,
see, even if baad or good.
But a hasty educator
there, haas aan aattitude.
I see a teacher ate her
Hic! Naasty this...yet good.

Larry Brash with:
Anne had an insane cat,
that behaved so horrific,
she got her to a doctor,
to test scientific.

Aah Aah! That is a good bet!
I eye puss ate your hash!
(Aye, aye, ate!) You need get
her to see a head Dr (Brash).

Christopher Sturdy with:
A she-bairn, nay a shepherdess
Hot footed A to B.
An adherent hot hoofed at her rear;
A gay sight to see.
The act buoyed a set to raise in voice -
Such audacity.
Teach has a go at her;
"Stay in, detainee"

Ellie Dent with:
Ary has a tiny sheep
A coat of frosty hue
And here/there that Ary goes
The tiny beast goes too.
And teachers get to see it
Audacious at her side
And behavior has to echo
'Baaa' a din he can't hide.


Adie Pena with:
They ca her a big bitch,
The hot or the aesoe ga,
A broad or that cheetah, too.
She's reay a fee fatae.
She'd do idiotic things,
Adept at deeds inhuan.
Or as the ise en aays say:
"You can never trust a oan."

Dharam Khalsa with:
Rose had a hideous baby goat,
The savagest in the area;
He punctured her throat!
Aha, in a haste of hysteria,
She chose to shoot it dead.
Yet, it can go into a cafeteria
On cheese and yeasty bread.

Meyran Kraus with:
Yahoo Serious's tune
Had aged one fated day.
(Yes, he is the Aussie prat
That had to nag or bray.)
A has-been act, I can agree -
I'd hate to hear that voice -
Yet there's a ton of H's, A's...
I had no better choice!


Dharam Khalsa with:
Bessie had a hungry goat;
Oh yes, a university taboo.
It ate her nice taffeta coat.
She had a one-eyed boa too.
They entertained at a church;
A priest there said, "Shoo!"
And she had to stage a search.

Ellie Dent with:
baa baa baa sheep
you got any oo?
yes sir yes sir three cases fu
one 4 the aster
one 4 the dae
and one 4 the itte gir
ho ives don the ane.

[Ha! A headache, this, too.
Afraid that I cut characters.
Dodgy, that.]

Meyran Kraus with:
Teeny Rita has a steer...
Fit as a coat, for heat.

Stevie "has" a horny goat...
That heathen! He is grounded!

Hattie has a caribou...
And gooey cheese on rye.

Catie had a baby sheep...
The doctor is astounded!

Dharam Khalsa with:
Anastasia has an ashen-faced herd;
They hoof it to the orchestra.
(I argue, it's not so absurd.)
They orchestrated ovine hysteria.
Tee-hee! Such a gaiety Ana had!
To a good piece, on beat, they baaed.


THE LONG CATEGORY

1st - Tony Crafter with:
I was very unhappy last night and got to thinking about my life - the ruined economy, the wars abroad, the dearth of any jobs, all those bad retirement fund losses, my wife's cheating... you get my drift?

So I phoned the Samaritans.

Got a freakin' call centre in Pakistan. I told them I was feeling suicidal.

They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

=

Naturist Scott was sunbathing starkers on the beach.

For the sake of civility, and to keep 'other' things from getting burned, he'd placed a hat over his manhood.

A woman in a bikini jiggled past and exclaimed sarcastically, "Hey, meathead, if you were any kinda gentleman you'd lift your hat."

Scott smiled and replied, "If you weren't so ugly it'd lift itself."

A vicar checked himself into a hotel, and he said to the clerk in the reception, "I do so hope that the pornography channels up in my bedroom are disabled."
=
The chap replied, shaking his head, "No cripple videos, no chance! It's the more normal, able-bodied hardcore type instead. To think you're a man of the cloth!"

David Bourke with:
Mojo: "Finally, what would you do if your hair fell out?"

Paul Weller: "I'd be fucked. I'd have to get a job as a signwriter or something. My career would be totally out the fucking window. That really would be the end." =
From worldwide fame with The Jam, only to be reduced to a life wholly forgotten, languishing without a future...like David Bourke, I just belong up a ladder in a Rochester alleyway. You bloody well watch out!

Dharam Khalsa with:
A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. After two weeks they came back and finally put away the presents they had received from friends and family. Since this was a new home, that process took some time. The silver plates went straight into the hall closet, some items of ethnic art were hung on the wall for display, and fine intimate apparel was put into the bedroom drawers.

A week later, they received in the mail two tickets for a popular musical show for which tickets were impossible to find. They were very excited and warmed by the gesture of the person who had sent this gift. Inside the envelope, however, was only a little piece of paper with a single line:

"Guess who sent them."
=

Well, the perplexed pair had fun trying to identify the donor but failed in their effort. They went off to the show anyway and had a marvelous time.

But on their return, still trying to guess the identity of their host, they discovered that a shameless prowler had stripped their home of every article of value: a plasma TV, a fine art masterpiece, books, embroidered pillowcases, a necklace, the wife's negligee, keepsakes and mementos-- all their collective possessions. Wow, what an awful welcome! They were powerless. In the now empty dining room was a piece of paper on which was written, in the same handwriting as the message that had come with the complimentary tickets, the sentence:

"Now you know."

Dharam Khalsa with:
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."--George Eliot =
Fall is my favourite time! I could be a nightingale tourist, secure in white-edged clouded skies year-round, but we duteous wives stay home.

AN ASTUTE DEALER

Several men were in the changing room of a golf club at Fort Lauderdale. Suddenly, a cell-phone on a seat rang and one of the guys engaged the hands-free function and started to chat.

Everyone else in the room paused to listen.

MAN: "Yes?"

WOMAN: "Sweetheart, it's Susie. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes."

WOMAN: "I am at a Lauderdale shopping centre and I have found an utterly beautiful Burberry leather coat. It's only $1,100. Can I buy it?"

MAN: "Yes, sure Susie. Go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "Really? Gee, thanks sweetie! I also called in at a Mercedes dealership and looked at their new 2010 models. There was a cherry-red sedan there that I really loved."

MAN: "I see. How much is it?"

WOMAN: "$74,600."

MAN: "Yes, let's get it; but for that price I'd require all the added accessories as standard."

WOMAN: "Super! Er... there is one other thing, dear... The house that we were after last year is on the market again. They are asking eight-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars."

MAN: "Well, go ahead and offer them 800K. They'll probably accept that. If they don't reduce, we can easily afford the extra fifty. It is an unusually fair price."

WOMAN: "Great! See you later, sweetheart! I love you so much."

MAN: "'Bye Susie. I love you too."

The man hung up. The other guys in the changing room were staring at him in open-mouthed astonishment... He smiled and said:

"Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
