\nWith an intern said, \u201cLook at this sleaze!
\nThe press keeps on beating
\nMy colleague for cheating —
\nPerhaps you should get off your knees.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nWith the man on the flying trapeze,
\nBut her chat with her friend
\nHad a very sad end —
\nYou can\u2019t text while you hang from your knees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nWith talk of the birds and the bees.
\nHis wife overheard,
\nBut said not a word,
\nFor she knew he had no expertise!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nSpeaking French with her man overseas,
\nNever once disagreeing,
\nThe main reason being:
\nHer boyfriend speaks only Chinese.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nWith a winsome young thing named Louise,
\nWhose looks were deceiving.
\nThe chap yelled while leaving,
\n\u201cYou win some, I lose some, you tease!\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nBut he missed and shot down sev’ral trees.
\nFriends asked, “Man, are you blind
\nOr just out of your mind?”
\nHe yelled, “Y’all heard me tell it to freeze!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nDiscussing the habits of bees.
\n\u201cImagine the scene
\nWhere I could be queen
\nAnd bring all the men to their knees!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
