That reward for his talent was wise.
He asked for a pet.
Then started to fret,
When given a pullet surprise.

Sheets of white, for turkeys, wise is.

Those chicks so uncool,
This poultry guised pullets surprises.

Out in rain with his shoes full of holes,

Or Neil Down from over
On front street beside Jack Mehoff.

On some old-time paintings I've checked,
The nude girls are often bedecked
With some wispy stuff
That covers their muff,
Which damps one's lust... gauze and effect.
--- Anon

This is file xyl

I guess though, the guy that did paint
These scenes was told "Man you just cain't
Portray all these cuties
Displaying their bootys;
'Twill only give gauze for complaint.
--- Anon

"Display of such items of charm
To prudes, may do them untold harm."
The painter thus places
This film o'er such spaces
That may well give gauze for alarm.
--- Anon

Or was it just strange air pollution?
We now have a gauze of confusion.
Go look, statistician,
At Rubens and Titian,
Say if it's a gauze (Gauss) distribution.
--- Anon

Not sure that it's gauze; I suspect
That those artists were often erect,
And while painting a muff
They'd shoot jizzimy stuff
On the canvas, to cause that effect.
--- Anon

"Hey Otto, you there?" calls his boss.
To the four winds his words they are tossed.
He's not to be found,
In the country around...
'Cause everyone knows Schindler's lost.
--- Tiddy Ogg

This newsgroup's been given a boost
(Or maybe we've only been goosed)
By release of these verses;
'Midst kudos and curses,
It's certain that Schindler's loosed.

His wife now calls "Liebling, wo bist?"
And there, in a brandy fume mist,
Does stand our friend Otto,
He's totally blotto,
Or as we Brits say: Schindler's pissed.

He tottered towards home, but he missed
Providing town gossips more grist
For their bad-mouthing mill,
And I guess they are still
Making fun of poor Schindler's list.
--- John MIller

He looks at young Ula's firm bust,
And says "Schoene madchen, you must
Come with me to bed,
And wide your legs spread."...
That's right, it's the famed Schindler's lust.
--- Tiddy Ogg

She replied, "Herr Schindler, du biest
Zu grosse!" (She confessed to her priest
That although she liked mine
And Tiddy's just fine,
She preferred Otto Schindler's least)
--- John Miller

The race has been run, hard and fast;
The finish line all now have passed,
Except for our Otto,
Who, true to his motto,
Is still on his way...Schindler's last.
--- Tiddy Ogg

He stands with his tool in his fist;
He's taken his aim, now he's pissed.
All though, it's all
Gone over the wall
And not in the bowl...Schindler's missed.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Since this topic's begged for a new twist,
Here's a variant heretofore missed.
When Herr Schindler would lean
Hard to port, it would mean:
He was demonstrating Schindler's list

Of reading the verse "Walden Pond."

And way overrated;
From the class we did try to abscond.

'Bout lives of quiet desperation,
'Cause I am not Thoreau with you yet!"

Discovered a bay one fine night.

These two nuts were out taking a walk,
One night in old Central Park...
Late one night,
The moon, not bright,
The shadows were growing quite dark.
--- Gearhart

Footsteps behind them grew near;
The first nut he ran off in fear.
The second held ground,
Stopped, turned around,
Then screamed out for all to hear.
--- Gearhart

The press that night was halted,
But interviews only resulted
In nothing more
That headlines which bore
ONE NUT RAN -- ONE A-SALTED.

Wanted breakfast, shops closed but don't sweat it.
If I miss a meal I won't regret it.
But we did find a diner,
A perfect one-liner.
The name of the place? "Cum and Get It".

A maiden declared she was ready;
But while they were busy
They both became dizzy,
Because they were caught in an eddy.

Near old Scotland's North Sea's craggy cliffs,
Lassies there avoid family rifts;
Descend steeps in the dark
Wrapped in a Cutty Sark
As they go down to the see in shifts.

Their habitat's dull grey and brown.
