The kids appreciate Dad jokes.

Bravo!

A dad joke par excellence!

That one is part of a series of back-handed insults. I can only remember two of them as it’s been many, many, years since I thought of them:

“Your eyes are like pools……”

“Cess pools!”

.

“Your teeth are like stars……!

“They come out at night!”

Groan.

:groan: :~)

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes

If you’ve got water on the brain

Don’t light the flame or you’ll be to blame

The spark of love may take your breath

The water starts a-streamin’

Your ears will start to steamin’

And you’ll perculate yourself to death

Too many fights, too many scars

Too many knots upon my head

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, now!)

Love was in bloom, then she lowered the bloom

And now I wish that I was dead bloom?

She’s got me educated

My eyes are granulated

’Cause she hit me with the sugar bowl

(In my bloomers)

Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every night

Her hair so fair, she laid it on a chair

Because I seen it a-layin’ there

I cocked an eye at her. She cocked an eye at me

And we just set there cockeyed as could be

Don’t let the stars get in your eyeball sockets

Good one, Shawm!

Oh, Shawm, we’ve been missing your jokes! SO glad you’re feeling better!

I’ll be here all week. :)

Ha, nice one!

Floof’s expression is perfect!
