KING CHARLES AND WINSTON

King Charles and Winston were the best of friends,

They lived in the best of styles;

Often enjoying holidays

Or nights out on the tiles.

And it was Winston who first declared

'Why don't we buy a car?

Then we wont have to walk to the cinema

Or down to the nearest bar.'

King Charles replied 'What a great idea!

I fancy an Italian job;

I know they're pretty expensive,

But we've both got a few bob.'

So they bought the latest model,

And two red collars too,

And they set-off in their vehicle

With everything spanking new.

Lo and behold! At the corner,

They were stopped by the police,

Who said ' We've had enough of you.

This behaviour  must cease!

You're always getting drunk in bars 

And stealing other dogs' wives!

Why don't you settle-down a bit

And lead proper canine lives?

Stay at home in the evenings

And read each other's blogs!'

And the boys replied in unison

We can't read! We're only dogs!'

COMPATIBILITY CHECK

ARIES and VIRGO

Tidy drawers and cupboards; everything just so.

With Virgo saying 'Yes' to this, and Aries saying 'No!'

It doesn't look too promising; you’ll see, on looking back,

That Aries was impulsive; Virgo hadn’t got the knack.

At first your differences had charm and you thought them quite a boon,

But the positive and negative can’t survive the honeymoon.

Opposites attract each other when you're first aquainted

But soon the 'first fine rapture' dies and what is left is tainted.

Initially, the Leo spark seemed something to brag about,

But later Virgo’s carping and all Aries does is shout.

Aries has quite a temper; Virgo is a scold.

I really think you should avoid the bit about 'have and hold'!

Virgo likes a schedule; Aries can't be on time,

And every bit of tardiness is treated as a crime!

Virgo likes to keep to rules; Aries can't abide them.

The flaws are just so obvious you’ll simply never hide them!

Leo and Aries, have some fun; enjoy that initial 'Wow!'

Then turn around and walk away

Before you have a row!
