A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore: Orangutan Tongs by Jon Agee

A mouthful of mush.
 
 
This very humorous book of tongue-twisting poems by the Palindrome King himself contains such profundities as the situation of an orangutan who has trouble eating his meal at a restaurant, the kind of noise that annoys a noisy oyster, the triumphs of a bubble gum blowing champ, the disadvantages of getting on the bad side of either an overeager ogre or a surly soldier, the things that a dodo'll do, the ways of a club for people who only use purple paper, and the unfortunate breakup between Patty Petty and Pete. If you like wacky poems, you like tongue twisters, and especially if you like wacky tongue-twisting poems, this is the book for you!
 
 
Here are a couple of my faves:

She can read readin' when it's writ', but she can't read writin' now that it's wrote! :-D
 
Some moose like Moose Munch and Moose Tracks ice cream.

Music Showcase:Peel Me a Nanner by Roy Drusky

She sure made a monkey out of him, I suppose, I SUPPOSE, YEAH!




 

Music Showcase:Billy Broke my Heart at Walgreen's by Ruby Wright

For that matter, is she sympathetic, or just pathetic?

Music Showcase:I Got Tears in my Ears From Lying on my Back Crying Over You by Homer and Jethro

(Have mercy, what a long title! :-D) A humorous classic by novelty country music legends Homer and Jethro.

Is he sympathetic or just pathetic?

Music Showcase:She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft by Jerry Reed

A humorous classic by the late, great Jerry Reed, best known for his classic ditty, "When You're Hot, You're Hot."



Music Showcase:Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart by Johnny Cash

Who would have expected a song as goofy as this from country legend Johnny Cash?(Honestly, I'm pretty glad he did write it! :-D)




Bonus joke:I knew a guy who was so dumb, he thought Johnny Cash was a pay toilet.(Maybe this song was what convinced him. :-D)
