Pittsburghese lesson:
“You’re a fool” and “You are full”
Are pronounced the same way.

Pittsburghese lesson:
“You’re a fool” and “You are full”.
Pronounced the same way.
The late stand-up comic George Carlin
used to note that his profession
was formerly called “Fool.”
There’s not much difference
Between a tool and a fool
But a tool is a schmuck
And a fool is cool
Make me laugh- I’ve had enough tears
My smiles are not what they appear.
Am I now a fool for love?
Does this fit me like a glove?
Don’t want my joy to disappear.
Make me laugh tonight.
Am I fool for your love?
Only you will know.
Please don’t fool with me…
My bruised heart can’t take the pain
Of more deception.
Fish eaters, otters
swim aptly, with smooth brown fur,
Unique creature there.
.
With long and black fur,
Others are water proof guys
that haunt fish for food.
.
Enemy to fish,
Giant and fast under the sea,
Otters are selfish.
what lovely funnies,
happy new year,
smile a ton.
please share your haiku with our friend too.
PurpleTreehouse.
Not sure I’m ready.
What will I write come April
If I use “fool” now?
You’re right if you think I’m a fool.
I was the class clown at my school
Or wanted to be,
But that just wasn’t “me”,
So I’m serious now, as a rule.
On Foolers:
Although it might help to keep cool
(One layer will heat less than two’ll)
A true shirt and sweater
Are honestly better
Than one of those tops meant to fool.
Skipping Love
The man who finds love in this life
is rich beyond compare
Now all he needs is a good wife
though one of those is rare
As M-Sixteens love singing blues
ginger sucks as honey
And booze won’t give you any clues
how she spent your money
So lift your head, walk to the bank
protrude that upper lip
your lovely ruddy rotten plank
Just housed you in this skip.
