Sunday Funnies V

maybe they just need some oinkment when pigs get laryngitis i suppose they feel somewhat disgruntled english teacher's nightmair observed in a book store: "sale - all spelling workbooks 50% of!" too much of a good thing poetry teacher: "i can't say enough about not saying too much" paternal paradox my grandfather once told me "never trust anyone... trust me on this" where the h am i? to a dictionary editor 'h' is the middle of nowhere such a critic i tried that new restaurant on the moon good food but no atmosphere a pun further analysis the bonfire sank my boat you can't have your kayak and heat it too Humor attribution: all humor found online and converted to monoku form by yours truly.

So creative turning them into monoku. I think you would be great at puns. I want to do the pun contest, but I just can't think of how to even start!! Thanks for all your kindness since I met you. YOu are one of THE best!

Glad to see the return of your weekly funnies John (even if only once in a while) My prize for most original goes to 'you can't have your kayak and heat it too' :)

It's nice to get silly once in a while, even though it's not technically poetry, and not even original. But hey, let's not take ourselves too seriously, shall we? Thanks, my friend
