THE LONG CATEGORY

1st - Dharam with:
A man walks into a bar on a Friday evening. He tells the bartender, "I’d like three shots of your finest Irish whiskey, please."

The bartender lines the three shots up for him, the gent pays for his drinks, enjoys the whiskeys, and leaves without another word.

The next Friday, the patron comes back and places the same order. "I’d like three shots of your finest Irish whiskey, please," he says. He pays, he drinks, and again, he leaves without a word.

This goes on every Friday for months. Finally, one Friday, the bartender asks, "Would you like to try something else, sir?"

"Ah, no," the man replies. "You see, these are for my two brothers back in Dublin. I have one shot for Colin, one shot for James, and one for me. Colin and James are doing the same across the pond, and it's like we're all drinking together."
~
Refreshing! A nice old-fashioned idea, the barkeep thinks. They strike up a conversation, share a few weathered jokes, and soon become friends.

Seasons and years pass, and every Friday the elderly man returns to the safety of the bar, in a routine where he religiously orders his three shots of Irish whiskey, indulges, and thanks the bartender.

Late one evening the fellow enters alone, appearing a bit off, forlorn, and states, "I need a drink - two shots of Irish whiskey."

"Oh, no!" the barkeep exclaims in horror. "Don't tell me something has happened to Colin or James! Is everything okay with your kinfolk back home?"

"Oh yes, all is well with the family," the man assures him. "My brothers are healthy as horses, so you don't need to worry. It's just that I, myself, have decided to stop drinking."

2nd - Tony Crafter with:
An elderly couple, who had been courting for many years, finally decided that they should get married. While out making their wedding plans, they went into a pharmacy.

"How about heart medication?"

"Yes, we supply that too."

"And do you have anything for constipation?"

"Naturally!"

"And denture cleaners?"

"Of course, sir."

"Ah... but how about Viagra?" winked the elderly man.

"Ah, yes, we have Viagra too!"

"And sleeping tablets?"

"We keep them in bulk."

"Acid reflux tablets?"

"We have many kinds."

"Oh my, this is great news!" whooped the delighted old man, nodding to his bride-to-be.

"Okay then - we'd like to register here for our wedding gifts!"

The elderly lady was standing by the cruise ship's railing clutching a large hat to her head to stop it blowing away.

A gentleman walked up and said, "Excuse me, madam; I do not wish to be forward, but did you know that the whole of your dress is billowing up in the wind?"

"Yes, my good man, I did know," she replied; "however, I need both hands free to hold onto this hat."

"I appreciate that, madam; but you must also realise that you're not wearing knickers and that your private areas are in full view of all the deck's passengers!" entreated the horrified man.

The lady glanced down, then looked back at the gentleman. "Sir," she replied, "anything you see down there is seventy-five years old. I only bought this hat yesterday!"

OLD BUZZARD TRUMP

A grotesque man
With ineffable gall
And a brain so small.
"I want money!"
Longs for a brawl,
He wants a wall.

"For less money!"
In her answer
A Nancy will stall
Down to a crawl.

"I want money!"
Like a baby he'll bawl.
Not worth our call!

Just as a butcher Jim, is shooing a dog away from his shop, he sees a ten dollar bill and a note in his mouth, reading: “Five lean lamb chops, please.”

Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog’s mouth, and then quickly closes up the shop.

He follows the dog and watches him cross the road to a bus-stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench.

When a bus arrives, he walks to the front, looks at the number and then boards it. The butcher follows, dumbstruck.

As the bus is traveling out into the suburbs, the dog is taking in the scenery.

After a while, he stands on his rear paws to push the “STOP” bell, and then the butcher duly follows him off.

~

The dog runs up to a house and drops his lamb chops bag on the step.

He goes back down the path, takes a run, and throws himself - WHAP! - at the unbreakable door. He does this half-a-dozen times. No joy.

So he climbs on a thin wall, hotfoots it round the garden, beats his head at a window, jumps off, then he sits at the front door. Unbelievable.

A glum, burly man in shabby black sleeveless shirt, comes out and shouts at the little dog.

The butcher chap rushes up himself and screams back: "STOP! STOP! What the hell're you doin', maniac? This dog is skilled, unique, genius!"

"Genius? Clever?" the owner scoffs, "Hah, cobblers! That's twice this month that he's forgotten the keys!"

JANUARY
By John Shea

With numbing cold, biting at my brittle bones
I feel many years giving me a wake up shake
Gripping my coat through the more gripping cold
I feel the world has grown old.

January I cried for my Mom the first time
She probably cried and then smiled for my tears
She surely is yet smiling for my thoughts through these years

For the tears that she shed were at giving me birth
January is the warmest time on earth =
JANUARY

From great big thoughts, I 'Imagine' them all,
Inspired by the John Lennon Wall I see.
Remember the January in Prague – they did
Sing 'War Is Over' by him, a worthy gift for me.

These 'Strawberry Fields Forever' films begin;
Might destroy his memory up my tree.
Our John did scribble that in dusty Spain;
Nightly sketches that change with glee.

Thanks for the year, my Anagrammy pals so dear;
Hope it comes through – with great music, too!

Groundhog Day

Deemed an important film, culturally,
That old movie, the inspiring comedy,
The one which Buddhists love,
Is the fictional tale of
A weatherman potrayed by actor Bill Murray.

This single weatherman, Phil, has been sent
To cover a Groundhog Day event.
He's very difficult to please,
And that's because he's
Such an arrogant and cynical gent!

There's a blizzard and Phil's forced to stay
In Punxsutawney for one more day.
He awakens, but something is wrong;
He hears Sonny and Cher's song -
"I Got You Babe" is what he hears play.

It's the same song from the morning before
When he woke up at six and walked out the door.
He steps out into the street,
And things repeat and repeat.
This is something he can't ignore.

He's stuck in a time loop, when
Every morning he hears "I Got You Babe," then
The man, once so vain,
Begins to go completely insane,
As Groundhog Day comes again and again!

When he understands there won't be
Any punishment whatsoever when he
Does anything wrong,
It isn't too long
Before Phil behaves most crazily!

He drives recklessly and binges on beer,
Since tomorrow will never be here;
He drives on tracks and off a steep cliff,
Which he wouldn't do if
He hadn't lost all fear.
~
There's a shy attractive newswoman Phil wants to know,
He keeps conversing with her every day, so
He can remember how to get her to adore
Him every day more and more,
For, nonetheless, his affection for her continues to grow.

Over perplexing, yet creative, efforts to win Rita's heart,
He gains an enthusiastic appreciation of art,
French poetry, and learns to play
Piano scales much better each day.
With attention shown to hapless townsfolks' lives, he plays a meaningful part.

Seven glum sunless years have come and gone, and by year eight,
He has become enlightened, but how will it cancel his bizarre fate?
By recognizing all the neighbors' needs?
Bent on doing compassionate deeds,
In Rita's eyes, he becomes thoughtful, handsome, and great!

It's another Groundhog Day, and Phil has suddenly learned
That the modern clock's glowing numbers must have turned!
Through the great power of
A simple unconditional love,
At length, a fresh day has somehow been earned!

An old song "I Got You, Babe" might annoy Phil next to his head,
But it's not Groundhog Day this sunny dawn; instead,
He wakes thankful to find
He's no longer in such a bind
With his beloved Rita beside him in the warm cozy bed!

'Shutdown Fuck'

Won't pay the Law, won't pay no fireman.
I'm a "ten"! A fly guy without doubt!
Make that wall, up high, man!
I'm too hot (dodge 'Nam!)
In more hot water than El Niño.
Soy demasiado candente

Wake up, you conniving, sombrero-wearing lousy punks!
Wake up! Tijuana Brass time!

Walk out from sunny Puebla,
Guadalajara, or Durango...
But not even one human caravan gettin' in,
Not on my watch...stopped by Mr Tango!
Imma keep the Mexican multitudes out,
I'm the POTUS! You watch my mouth!
Like my johnson, or Stormy Daniels' puppies,
- Headin' off down south!

Hey, Julio! Out, out, out!
It's in the pipeline, no joke at all.
High as my Trump penthouse in Manhattan,
Imma put me up that unfunded wall!

Won't believe it people, just watch!
Won't believe it people, just watch!

But won't give a funkin' frig.
Mexico, they'll put my wall up,
A fine monument to us to build.
But don't forget, YOU pay for it!
Don't want the country with mosques filled!

CHANGES AT THE NORTH POLE ORGANIZATION

Today's global challenges require the North Pole to look for many more competitive steps. The following economy measures, effective immediately, are to take place in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" music subsidiary:

1) The partridge will be retained, but the pear tree, which never produced the cash crop forecasted, will be replaced by a useful plastic hanging plant, thus providing considerable welcome savings in maintenance.

2) Two turtle doves represent a redundancy which is simply not cost effective. In addition, their romance during working hours could not be condoned. The positions must be eliminated forthwith.

3) The three French hens will remain intact. After all, everyone loves the French... don't we?

4) The four calling birds will be replaced by an automated voice mail system, with a call waiting option. An analysis must be undertaken immediately to determine who the birds have been calling, how often and how long that they may have talked to them.

5) The five golden rings have been put on hold by the Board of Directors. Maintaining a portfolio based on merely one commodity could have negative implications for many institutional investors. Diversification into other precious metals, as well as a mix of T-Bills and high technology stocks, appear to be in order.

6) The six geese-a-laying constitutes a luxury which can just no longer be afforded. It has long been felt that the production rate of one egg per goose per day was an example of the general decline in productivity. Three geese will be let go, and an upgrading in the selection procedure by personnel will assure management that, from now on, every goose it gets will be okay, a good one.
~
7) The seven swans-a-swimming is obviously a figure chosen in better times; too extravagant, too dear. The function is primarily decorative. Excellent biodegradable mechanical swans are on order. The current swans will be retrained, belatedly, to learn new strokes, thereby enhancing their outplacement.

8) As you know, the eight maids-a-milking concept has been under heavy scrutiny too. A male/female balance in the workforce is being sought. The belligerent and hotheaded maids concerned do consider this a dead-end job, even hell, with no recognizable upward mobility. Total automation of the process therefore will permit them independently to try at a-mending, a-mentoring or a-mulching livelihoods.

9) Nine ladies dancing: that has always been illogically an odd number. This function will be phased out totally as these hot-footed individuals collectively grow older and they can no longer do the elaborate choreographed steps.

10) Ten Lords-a-leaping: that is effectively overkill. The high cost of the elite Lords, plus the expense of international air travel too, prompted the Committee to suggest replacing this ineffective group with ten out-of-work congressmen. While leaping ability may be sacrificed, the savings effected are significant as we confidently expect to see an oversupply of unemployed congressmen this year.

11,12) Eleven pipers piping and twelve drummers drumming is a simple case of the band effectively getting too big. A substitution with a cool string quartet, a cutback too on new tunes, and no uniforms, will therefore produce a saving - a lot - which will drop right to the bottom line.

Are gay with his mood.

I sigh that kiss you,
For I must own
That I shall miss you
When you have grown.

As of disasters
Is love lifelong.

Everything's sure lookin' up,
They say I'll soon own a pup!
And, honey, you won't believe just what I'm gonna tell you!
Now I'm sure I heard it right,
That to keep us warm at night,
We can now share our bed with a woman (or guy) all night through!

And now I've got my own door key,
How much better could life be? yo-ho

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a bell?
Ring, ring, I got a phone in my cell.
Ring, ring, honey I'm doin' real well,
Yet I'm due for parole one day in May,

Leo the lion was drinking from a stream with his bottom in the air, just as Coco, a baboon, was passing by.

From the baboon's viewpoint, the lion looked like Leonora (a lioness who had a certain reputation for loose morals) so the cheeky monkey crept up noiselessly from behind, with a view to enjoying a bit of slap and tickle with her.

On feeling Coco's sudden touch, the startled lion let out an almighty roar and turned around. Immediately realising his mistake, the monkey took off like a bat out of hell, dashing goggle-eyed, through the dense jungle with the furious lion in hot pursuit.

The lion was gaining on Coco by the second, and the monkey was just resigning himself to the possibility of a gruesome death at the paws of his assassin, when he suddenly came across a hunter's camp.

Without further ado, he whizzed into the camp, donned a safari suit and, whipped on a pith helmet. Then he threw himself into a chair, grabbed a copy of The Times and hid behind it as though he was reading.

The lion bounded into the clearing and screeched to a halt. As soon as the dust had settled, he asked, "Hey man, have you by any chance seen a baboon come past here?"

"What baboon is that?" replied Coco; "it wasn't the one that goosed that lion down by the stream, was it?"

"Oh hell," groaned the lion, "don't tell me it's in the newspapers already."

A man started a new job at a zoo and was given three tasks to carry out.

First task was to clear the ornamental fish pool of weeds.

As he was doing this, an enormous fish jumped out and bit him on the finger.

As a lesson to the other fish, the man beat it to death with a spade.

Realising his employer would not be too impressed, he disposed of the poor fish by feeding it to the lions as, luckily, lions'll eat anything.

During the second job of clearing out the monkey house, he was attacked by two feisty chimps pelting him in unison with coconuts.

In retaliation, the man laid into them with a spade, killing both.

Panicking, he thought, 'Me oh my, what can I do? Of course! I'll feed them to the lions, as lions eat anything.'

So he hurled their corpses into the lion enclosure.

He moved on to his final job, which was to collect honey from the South American bee colony.

As soon as he began, uproar ensued as he was attacked and stung by the angry bees.

Raging in pain, he grabbed the spade and smashed the bees to a horrible pulp.

By now he knew what to do and chucked them into the lion cage - because lions'll eat anything.

Later that day a new lion arrived at the zoo.

He wandered up to another lion and said 'Good morning; what is the food like here?'

"Absolutely delicious," remarked the other lion. "Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees!"
