The Lady of Chard (Star Sign Virgo)

There once was a lady from Chard,
Whose facial hair made her look hard,
Her uncle was her brother,
Her sister also her mother,
But bearded ladies there are quite avant garde.

Bearded Lady
The people of Chard are pedigree people

Brenda The Stage Mouse Wows Another Audience

After acting in one of her greatest shows,
Brenda the stage mouse smiles and  glows,
It was acting without flaws,
And she deserved the applause,
And was covered in a  deluge of rose.

She may be a prima donna, but the audience just love her

The Pedifile

There once was a pedifile from Switzerland,
More suited for foot than a hand,
It apparantly can win,
Against foots hardened skin,
And can make your feet feel rather grand.

You will have lovely feet but your neighbours will give you strange looks when you tell them you have a pedifile in the house…

Cleopatra’s Asp

“Cute asp” they said to their egyptian queen,
“Its the cutest asp that we had ever seen”,
Cleo made a mistake,
Was bit by the snake,
And she died and her skin turned all green.

Joe the Alien

There was a fine alien called Joe,
Who knew how to put on a show,
He was a bit of a romancer,
And was the moons best dancer,
Ladies were always willing to give him a go.
Joe dancing on the moon
Joe dancing on the moon for the ladies

Last Lessons of July

Monday

there is a debate about the number of species of albatross. Anything from 13 to 24. If the 21 figure (the most common) is accepted then 19 of these are threatened with extinction.

Tuesday

I learnt a card trick that works using the power of mathematics (hence it is a bit duller than other card tricks I have learnt).

Wednesday

Dr House (House) was named as a homage to Sherlock Holmes (as Holmes sounds like Homes). both live at apartments number 221B. Both are also drug addicts.

Thursday

I learnt a neat way of adding a textured fill using GIMP.

Friday

Scottish banknotes are technically not legal tender in Scotland. In fact in Scotland no banknotes are technically legal tender. The English banknotes are legal tender only in England and Wales. Also I learnt legal tender is a bit of a meaningless  term practically.

Saturday

I learnt that a decaffeinated coffee in a local bar is actually instant despite it costing more than the caffeinated coffee. In fact within 2 coffees the jar has paid for itself! So dcaffeinated drinkers are penalised twice, once for not havving the point of coffee and another in being sold inferior coffee at a higher price!

Somerset

There is a land that time does forget,
The beautiful county of Somerset,
It has often been said,
The locals are inbred,
But it has some of the finest scenery I have seen yet.

The land time forgot (probably Chard, Somerset)
It sometimes looks as if Somerset has not changed at all over time

Somerset la la la

It turns out that the beard worn by Hall,
Was not very lucky at all,
Somerset won by a mile,
This caused me to smile,
We shall go to Southampton and all have a ball.
