Strange Happenings

Finding a needle in the haystack

That I wasn't looking for.

She wondered why I let out a gasp,

When it stuck me in the ass.

 

O there are times when strange things happen,

Like being hit by a bus.

I was just reading my morning paper

By the corner drug store.

 

All of a sudden this bus hits me-

The driver they say had a heart attack.

Here I am in the hospital,

Lucky to be alive.

 

There were many other strange happenings;

Too many to go into detail about.

I guess that's why I'm still here,

And not buried in France somewhere.

Aye lol, the poor sort of guy
who is hit by lightening too many
times and survives each strike...

You were lucky you survived the war George...

Love and Light
