Dennis R's Morning Joke. You are so dumb that when you flew a helicopter you turned the propeller off because it was too drafty.

Today I realized that this month I had left the UK 67 years ago, on the day of the 50th year we left the UK I wrote my first poem and called it A New Life and I thought I would give it a new run.

FIFTY YEARS AGO FROM THE CITY OF NOTTINGHAM
FOR OUR FAMILY A NEW LIFE HAD BEGUN
DOWN TO LONDON TO BOARED OUR SHIP
THIS WAS THE START OF A MAGNIFIFICENT TRIP
FOGHORNS BLOWING, FAREWLL CROWDS CHEERING
DOWN THE THAMES OUR SHIP WAS SOON VEERING
EARLY EVENING PAST THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER
OUR FIRST TIRING DAY WAS NEARLY OVER
IN A FEW DAYS WE PASSED GIBRALTER
THE SHIP PLOUGHED ON WITHOUT A FALTER
WITH FLYING FISH AND DOLPHINS TOO
EACH DAY GAVE US A DIFFERENT VIEW
THE FIRST STOP WAS TO BE PORT SAID
NATIVE BOATR SELLING GOODS WERE A NOISY CROWD
NOT ALLOWED OFF THE SHIP TO SHOW OUR NEW TAN
WE WERE ENTERTAINED BY THE GULLY GULLY MAN
DOWN THE SUEZ CANAL IN BRIGHT MOONLIGHT
BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF MY OLD ARMY CAMP SITES
AFTER THE CANAL CAME THE RED SEA
OUR STOP AT ADEN SHOWED MUCH POVERTY
THEN TO COLOMBO THROUGH THE INDIAN OCEAN
THIS WAS THE START OF A SICKENING MOTION
AT THIS TIME, WE CELEBRATE DOREEN BIRTHDAY
NEXT STOP FREEMANTLE ONCE AGAIN WE ARE ON OUR WAY
AFTERDOCKING THERE A TRIP TO PERTH
THERE WE FIND WHAT AN ENGLISH POUND IS WORTH
ON THE STRETCH TO ADELAIDE WE DO IT TOUGH
FOR THE SEA HAS TURNED MIGHTY ROUGH
THE CREW RIGGED ROPES SO WE COULD MOVE AROUND
DISHES AND PLATES FALL TO THE GROUND
WE SPEND THE DAY IN THE CITY
SURROUNDED BY PARKS IT IS SO PRETTY
THEN ON TO MELBOURNE OUR FINAL DESTINATION
ARRIVING THERE TO JOIN OUR NEW NATION
GREETED AT DOCKSIDE BY FAMILY AND FRIEND
OUR TEN POUND TRIP IS AT AN END

GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA

THE GULLY GULLLY MAN IS AN EGYPTSON MAGICIAN

But more headaches of the phone

Looks more like the 4th monkey is the 'Say nothing" monkey.

Dennis R's Morning Joke. You are so dumb that when you flew a helicopter you turned the propeller off because it was too drafty.

Old Joke: The propeller is only there to keep the pilot cool, coz when the fan stops, the pilot starts to sweat profusely.
