Why is Greenland mostly ice and Iceland mostly green?

March Madness
NCCA Men’s Basketball Tourney

The Winner
It’s tournament time,
I can hardly wait,
Will it be Indiana, Gonzaga,
Or Deshaun and Ohio State?

Does Louisville, Duke,
Or Notre Dame have a chance,
To take all the marbles
And go to the dance?

I’ll tell you the winner,
Then I’ll bore you no more,
Cause the winner my friend,
Will be won from the final four!
Go Irish!

The Retirement
The fifteenth of April,
Is National Tax Day,
What you worked so hard for,
They taketh away.

They’re not even hungry,
Yet they spend it on pork,
Give it to people who hate us,
And those who won’t work.

The politicians are busy,
They seldom rest,
They’re working their tails off,
Feathering their nest.

The taxes collected,
The influence they hold,
Are quickly turned,
Into silver and gold,

And if they’re still living,
When out they must bow,
They’ll retire in style,
And now you know how!


Arbor Day
            April 16th, is Arbor Day. Since Arbor is the Latin word for tree. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten treesles on Arbor day.

When you do nothing…nothing happens.

April Showers
April showers bring May flowers,
We’ve heard the poets say.
But I love it when the sun does shine,
And drive the rain away.

Oh, April showers; I love your flowers,
They’re such a pretty sight,
So do us all a humongous favor,
And shower them at night.

It’s Not Your Day
            April 22nd, is earth day. If you’re still here, be thankful your feet are on the ground. For all you folks whose feet aren’t, I guess it’s not your day!

Marry the Dude
Ladies, if you ever meet a man who looks as good as his resume’…marry the dude.

How’d I ever get over the hill…when I’ve never been to the top?

No Spanking
            Even though Carl wore his wife-beater undershirt…his wife still wouldn’t let him spank her.

The Growth
            In the 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, the Burma Shave Co. put a series of small rhyming signs along the highways, throughout the country, to advertise their product and to entertain the motorists as they drove slowly down the two lane country roads.. 
            Every spring for some reason, to this very day, I still think of an old Burma Shave sign that read:
Spring has come,
The grass has riz,
Where last years,
Carless driver iz.
Burma Shave.
             
            I loved that ditty, even though I wasn’t old enough to shave. Heck, back then, I only had one wild hair and it was on my chest. However, I must confess, I never shaved it. You might say it grew on me.
