Monday morning writing joke: “Keeping afloat”

Two travel writers sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can’t have your kayak and heat it too.

If Willard liked how the trick-or-treater was dressed, he would give the goblin two poems.

Roses are read; /

Violets are blue. /

Candy is sweet, /

but this poem is, too.

Monday morning writing joke: “Remainders of the Day”

There once was a writer in bookstore /

Who could not find his books anymore. /

When he inquired about his place, /

They said, “Limited shelf space.” /

And pointed to remainders outside the door.

Deja Moo: The feeling that you’ve heard this bull before

Monday morning writing joke: “Add vice”

There once was a woman of advice /

Whose words calmed others’ toil and strife. /

Then one day on a dare /

She found her husband having an affair. /

Now, she’s doing twenty to life.

***

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.” Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, “They’re twins! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.”

Patient: “Doc, I can’t stop singing ‘The Green, Green Grass of Home.'”

Doctor: “That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome.”

Patient: “Is it common?”

Doctor: “Well, ‘It’s Not Unusual.'”

Monday morning writing joke: “Slow go”

There once was a writer from Glasgow /

Whose writing was always a slow go. /

When turtles would mate /

He could write and relate; /

But for meeting deadlines he was always a no-show.

***

There was a writer who sent twenty different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did?!
