Rubes by Leigh Rubin for November 24, 2024

He was python’ me off.

Not to worry, he’s found a nice warm place to live now!!!

Just desserts

Yeah that mean ol frog. Geez he was has such a snakeophobia. BURRRRP!

It’s not his fault.

was he related to jimmy ?

I’ve got you under my skin

I’ve got you deep inside of me

So deep in my stomach that you’re really a part of me

I’ve got you under my skin

I’d tried so not to give in

I said to myself, “This meal never will go so well”

But why should I try to resist when, froggy, I know so well

I’ve got you under my skin

I’d sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of havin’ you for lunch

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear

“Don’t you know, little fool, you never can win?

Use your mentality, wake up to reality"

But each time that I do just the thought of you makes me drool

Before I begin ‘cause I’ve got you under my skin

I would sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of havin’ you inside

In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats, how it yells in my ear

“Don’t you know, little fool, you never can win?

Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality"

But each time I do just the thought of you makes me drool

Just before I begin ‘cause I’ve got you under my skin

Yes, I’ve got you under my skin

The frog: ( gulp )

The snake: Gulp!

Alas, I can’t come up with a pun using “python”. But then, this isn’t really a funny subject. It’s an ongoing disaster.

He’s a forgiving type. He had him for lunch anyway.
