      Mr Dear’s DILEMMA

      Nov 9, 2022

      Mr Dear looked thoughtful as he came in the kitchen door from the garden. ‘Where have you been?’ I said. ‘Your coffee is getting cold.’ ‘I’ve been talking to the chickens.’ Of course he had. What a silly question. ‘Long chat, was it?’ I wondered. ‘D

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my lovely, dear wife, Anya, and my two adorable sons, Nathan and Damian. If it weren’t for good rock and roll, this book wouldn’t exist. I also thank Mr. Edwin Finney and Mr. Charles Haberlein, my co-workers, who have been a pleasure to work with and who have put up with countless renditions of the roughs in this collection.

      Rude Words

      ****, is not a rude word

      Money is, from what I learned

      From all the pain that it gives

      To all the suffering what it is

      ****, is not a foul word

      War is --and there is plenty to be heard

      From all the lives too easily lost

      To the weapons too quickly shot

      Poverty is a rude word

      There is plenty around to take turns

      From those who are just unlucky

      To those, not part of society’s something

      Loneliness is a rude word

      There is plenty to be shown

      From tears not shown by an eye

      To our society that has turned blind

      Maam, what was that? I didn’t hear what you said

      I have an appointment at ten to apply for a passport

      Okay, do you have the documents and paperwork?

      Excuse me, here are my forms and documents

      Madam, you must only use blue and black ink, not red

      I am sorry; I used your only pen at the counter

      Madam, whatever you used, it was not ours

      Excuse me, so now, what shall we do?

      Madam, please write over the red with blue

      Couldn’t I just write on a new form to redo?

      Madam, a customer gets only one, not two

      Excuse me, what now? The form is all done

      Do you have pictures that were done dated this month?

      It’s November 1st, these were only done just yesterday

      Then, you’ll just have to redo them I’m afraid

      Blonde Non-Stop

      Where did you get that necklace?

      Hmm! I love your devil-pink dress

      My God, what color is your purse?

      It leaves me totally without words

      Thanks, I love your silver bracelet

      It matches my opal, turquoise necklace

      Your shoes are simply to die for

      Aren’t they the kind Kate Moss wore?

      I bought them on a trip to Paris

      At the time, they matched my red hair

      I simply adore your glitter lip-gloss

      How much did that cost?

      I know, it’s a really hot trick

      Men die for boobs and red lipstick

      One guy even wrote a romantic song

      All because I wore a Ralph Lauren thong

      What Boys Want!

      Boys don’t need money to have fun

      Boys just want to be bums

      Eating, drinking until dawn

      Together, laughing where they belong

      Boys don’t need fancy clothes

      Boys just wanna hang out in dirty robes

      Watching the latest game on TV

      Clinking their enormous wad of keys

      Boys don’t need fine restaurants

      Boys don’t care about how much meals cost

      Ordering cheap pizza is the way to be

      Even better if there’s an extra pizza for free

      Boys don’t need a hairstylist

      Boys don’t care for their tricks

      Playing poker is their way to escape

      Trying to trick each other in a dirty game
