Pick Up Lines

Pick Up Lines

It was just me
cruisin' the street
lookin' for a girl to meet.

I was in my truck
and with any luck
I'd fill my passenger seat.

I saw you sittin'
at the bus stop
on a bench lookin' for a ride to hop.

I liked what I saw
so I sang out loud:

"Girl if you were a song
I'd play you all night long
by hittin' repeat on my stereo."

"Girl if you were a snack
I'd keep the whole pack
by me on the seat wherever I go."

They're bright as my paint
and my rims that shine
a sure fire bet...
they're my pick up lines!

It was just me
cruisin' the street
lookin' for a girl to meet.

I was in my truck
and with any luck
I'd fill my passenger seat.

I saw you standin'
with a group of girls
the breeze blowin' your pretty brown curls.

I liked what I saw
so I sang out loud:

"Girl if you were a star
I'd watch you from afar
layin' in the bed of my 4x4."

"Girl if you were a game
I'd holler out your name
at a tailgate party with each score."

They're bright as my paint
and my rims that shine
a sure fire bet...
they're my pick up lines!

It was just me
cruisin' the street
lookin' for a girl to meet.

I was in my truck
and with any luck
I'd fill my passenger seat.

I saw you drivin'
in the other lane
drivin' a coupe and drivin' me insane!

I liked what I saw
so I sang out loud:

"Girl if you were a hill
I'd climb like Jack and Jill
on all four of my mud boggin' tires."

"Girl if you were a light
in the woods burning bright
in my headlights you'd be my campfire."

They're bright as my paint
and my rims that shine
a sure fire bet...
they're my pick up lines!

Well, I Think It's Funny

I walked past the sorcery shop today.  The mystic was outside and she said, "Are you going to the psychic fair this weekend?"  I said, "I don't know.  You tell me."

I was nauseous, had a fever, body aches and was fatigued.  I feel better now though.  I went to the rifle range and had my flu shot.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

Police search empty murder scene.  There was no body there.

There's a typhoon predicted.  It's the wave of the future.

I'm drinking pop cause I'm soda thirsty.

When it comes to passing a drug test- I'm a whiz.

I'm studying classical music.  I think I've got a Handel on it.

My friend has a successful rock quarry but he never takes it for granite.

I was ignorant.  I just didn't know it.

I spilled coffee on my computer.  It was a java update.

First Story

First Story

One hundred and forty four chicken gizzards. That's gross!
Definitely don't inhale and don't stand too close.

Did you forget your lines at a wedding speech? You're toast!
Just hope you can talk your way out of it with the host.

Did you swallow a magazine down whole? Just digest!
Then don't eat for a while, give your stomach a rest.

I'm so sorry you're ill down a long deep shaft. Get well!
You just might not be sick if down there- you hadn't fell.

You've got some fish on the bottom of your shoe. That's sole!
Where'd you pick it up, down at your secret fishin' hole?

Did you find dirt in your campfire coffee? It's ground!
Now just cowboy on up, drink it, and don't make a sound.

I learned to read on the school's ground floor. First story!
Helping others love reading? That's a crowning glory.

The Big Dance


The Big Dance

There's a big dance,
being held in town tonight.
I'm going to it,
and want everything right.

A very special lady,
I just might meet.
I need to look sharp,
and be light on my feet.

I pressed my best shirt,
and got the wrinkles out.
I slicked my dark hair back,
with oil of trout.

I matched my argyle socks,
and shined each shoe.
They glimmered as bright
as early morning dew.

I rolled the fuzzy lint,
off my blue blazer.
I shaved my face,
with my electric razor.

I put a Windsor knot,
in my bright red tie.
I dabbed on cologne,
what a sharp lookin' guy.

I showed up on time,
in very high style.
I walked inside,
people started to smile.

Actually they laughed.
I showed up at the dance,
I thought I was set…
but I forgot my pants!

Write It Right, Again

Write It Right, Again

It hurts to get taller,
so you groan cause you've grown.
After the queen pitches her chair,
she's thrown the throne.

If you drown in food coloring,
you die in dye.
When you wave from a ladder,
you say "hi" from high.

A boy lion's primary hair,
is his main mane.
An arrogant artery,
is a vein that's vain.

When a vaulter votes,
he takes his pole to the poll.
A baby horse that's done eating,
is a full foal.

Chopping your after dinner treats?
You mince your mints.
Evidence of the king's son?
The prints of the prince.

If you've canoed the highway,
you've rowed on the road.
If you dragged a reptile,
then you towed a toad.

If you carry a corridor,
you haul a hall.
Shopping with your wedge?
You take your maul to the mall.

Buy a fresh wildebeest,
you'll have a gnu that's new.
A plane ride when you were sick?
You flew with the flu.

Poking your teacher politely,
you tacked with tact.
If you toted the agreement,
you packed the pact.

You're tired on a hilltop,
so nap on the knap.
Because of that,
I'll just quickly- wrap up this rap.

Underweight Nate

Underweight Nate

Down by the tracks,
near a rotten log,
I found a poor,
starving puppy dog.

He was sick and scruffy,
I hoped I wasn't too late,
I took him home,
and called him Underweight Nate.

I gave Nate a bath,
and brushed out his fur,
he no longer looked,
like a mangy cur.

I wanted to feed him,
so we went to the kitchen,
I tell ya, for some food,
that boy was itchin'!

I gave him beef stew,
sausage and eggs,
crackers and cheese,
and some turkey legs.

He filled up on bacon,
and a ham bone,
I gave him pasta,
and an ice cream cone.

This went on,
for a month or so,
and now Nate's belly,
was starting to show.

I cared for the health,
of my new little pup,
so I took him to the vet,
for a check-up.

The vet said, "Change her name,
and feed her something leafy."
So it's cabbage and lettuce now...
for Beefy Fifi.
