I heard Shakespear's version (not as good as Longfellow's):The two great poets, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow have passed away and are at the Golden Gate. St. Peter greets them enthusiastically: how wonderful to meet you two. Unfortunately, we are nearly full of poets at this time. I can only accept one of you at this time. I will give each of you the same word and you must come up with a verse using this word.
“The word is: Timbuktu”, said St. Peter.
Tennyson went first:
” Across the hot Sahara sand,
Trekked the dusty caravan.
Men on camels, two by two,
Destination- Timbuktu.
St. Peter replied, “that is very good. Henry, it’s your turn.”
Longfellow cleared his throat and began:
” Tim and I, a-wandering went,
We met three maidens in a tent,
Since they were three and we but two,
I bucked one and Tim Bucked Two!
Glad to see this thread is still active!Since not much activity lately on the board here’s another joke.
What did the left p….y lip say to the right p…y lip?
We used to be a lot closer before we let that d..k get between us!!
A true classic. Bravo! I've been using this one for decades. One of my dad jokes arsenal. Here's another:Two peanuts were walking down the street. One of them was assaulted...
I’m working on a knife that can both cut the bagel AND apply the butter. Should be a sharp idea that spreads quicklyDad jokes continued:
What did one mushroom say to the other mushroom?
“You are one fun guy”.
One of my favorite non dirty jokes I tell my patients.Why are Saturday and Sunday the strongest days of the week? The rest of the days are weak days.
