TOP TIPS FOR POEMRANKERS (Free verse) by Johnnie Baptiste
1. Old telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply
cross out the names and addresses of people you don't know.
2. No time for a bath? Wrap yourself in scotch tape and remove the dirt
by simply peeling it off.
3. If a person is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug
of boiling water down their throat and presto! The blockage will be
removed.
4. Save on alcohol by drinking cold tea instead. The following morning
you can create the effects of hangover by drinking a thimble full of
liquid detergent and banging your head repeatedly on the wall.
5. When out driving, always turn left. Then, should you become lost, you
can find your way home by reversing the procedure and always turning
right.
6. Save petrol by pushing your car to your destination. Invariably
passers-by will think you've broken down and help.
7. Buy a television set exactly like your neighbours. Then annoy them by
standing outside their window and changing their channel using your
identical remote control.
8. Smell gas? Locate the suspected leak by striking an ordinary match in
every room in the house until a loud explosion reveals the source of the
escaping gas.
9. Never attempt to fasten your shoe laces in a revolving door.
10. Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the
fishes' eyes bulge and causes them to swim in an amusing manner.
11. Keep monkeys out of your kitchen by hiding bananas on top of a
wardrobe in your bedroom.
12. Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer
to the object you wish to view.
13. When competing in the Olympics, disguise the fact that you've taken
anabolic steroids by running a bit slower.
14. Avoid embarrassment after tripping in the street by repeating the
movement several times to make it seem like part of your normal
behaviour.
15. Don't post plagiarised old jokes from shitty comics. You might get
wanker wings.
