Making It Around The World
by Sam Chen
A green-thumbed redhead named
Mauna
Said, as she steamed in
a sauna,
"Though I have a yen
For Japanese men,
I much prefer bonsai to
fauna."
A dog-fancying maid from
Cohasset
Of no breed is more fond
than the Bassett.
The reason for this
Is disdain of bliss.
Were an exit marked "Joy"
she would pass it.
At her husband's behest
a young Frau
Took their son to a rabbi
with know-how.
When she ventured to
ask
Concerning the task,
He responded, "It shouldn't
be long now."
A bashful young lawyer
from Stowe
One night to a brothel
did go.
When he asked about price,
Said the madam, with
ice,
"It's a case, sir, of
quid pro quo."
My daughter swears somebody
told her
Of a Far Eastern man,
who, though older
Than some of the rest,
Could contort with the
best
And was known as "The
Manila Folder."
A woman who lived in Des
Moines
Was rather well known
for her loines.
It was so tender
Those not of her gender
For her favors paid many
a coines.
A couple who lived in the
West
Led a life singularly
blest.
He only would let her
Give others his "better,"
Reserving for her "all
my best."
A short little man from
Quebec
Had a toothache and went
for a check.
When he wanted to know
Why the tooth had to
go,
He was told, "Ees Toulouse,
Lautrec."
An oft-married actress
in Cannes
Was known for her men
and her tannes.
Alone, she awoke,
Stretched slowly, and
spoke,
"It's good to feel like
a new mannes."
