WAR! part 2

this one is called 'Paradoxically English'. Now English is considered a difficult language for foreigners to learn, but it can be considered equally perplexing for those who have english as their mother tongue.

Paradoxically English

English is a very perculiar language that i'll grant
E.g. there's no ham in hamburger or egg in the eggplant
Many foreign visitors never quite manage to grapple
with the fact that there is no pine nor apple in pineapple
English muffins were not invented in England in fact
And french fries were not invented in France to be exact
But if foreigners can't understand us I don't give a fig
If a Guinea Pig is not from Guinea and it's not even a pig
So what if Quicksand takes you down slowly, who cares?
And does it matter if the boxing rings are really squares?



This following one isn't one of mine but i thought it was pretty good while browsing for inspiration. A Community Support Officer (CSO) is supposed to support the work of the police and have a deterrent effect, but has few real powers. If you are apprehended by a CSO, the best they do is hold your hand and kindly ask you stay still for 10 minutes, in the hope that a real policeman will arrive.

Go CSO

A Communtity Support Officer
Today seized a handgun replica
The headline in the local paper
Told the story of his endeavour
"An immitation hand gun or replica
was seized by an immitation officer."
