How To Muck Up Gift-Giving

Some men send their wives Hallmark greeting cards. Then there’s Dick Kleis of Zwingle, Iowa, who got a bit more “creative” on his wife Carole’s birthday. He spent three hours spelling out a huge love note in 120,000 pounds of “good, soft, gushy, warm” manure. And proving that there’s no accounting for taste, his wife actually liked it, saying her hubby “dung good”.

Attention, dear hubby Mark … and any other man who might be inspired by this story on a birthday, anniversary, or Valentine’s Day: Don’t even think about it!

And that brings me to my latest limerick:

How To Muck Up Gift-Giving
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Dear hubby, I’d really be miffed
If you gave me manure as a gift.
Now I don’t expect plush
If you ain’t feeling flush.
But dung? Sweet revenge will be swift.

    Madeline, I too would be miffed
    to receive such a sh*tty gift!
    Should the gift I collect
    Be long, thick and erect
    Then it won’t be bad being stiffed!

    Then there was the guy who gave his wife a power saw.

    And asked if he could borrow it every now and then…

    A hundred and twenty thousand pounds of dung?
    A woeful tale that must be sung.
    A delightful little ditty
    Bout a subject, oh so shitty.
    But a good lesson from it can be wrung.
