Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for March 28, 2024

Set up ten cats at the end of an alley and he’ll give it his best shot.

It is just up his alley.

LOL!

If a cat (Attila) can lift it …

Spare me, this just strikes me as odd.

I’ve seen a cat bowl. I’ve seen a super bowl. I’ve seen a cereal bowl.

I’m bowled over!

Spare me a bad pun.

Anyone reminded of “Dumbo” from this conversation?

Another A-hole with Irritable Bowl Syndrome

I’m calling a fowl on this pun!

I wave good-bye when butter flies

and cheer a boxing match,

I’ve often watched my pillow fight,

I’ve sewn a cabbage patch,

I like to dance at basket balls

or lead a rubber band,

I’ve marvelled at a spelling bee,

I’ve helped a peanut stand.

It’s possible a pencil points,

but does a lemon drop?

Does coffee break or chocolate kiss,

and will a soda pop?

I share my milk with drinking straws,

my meals with chewing gum,

and should I see my pocket change,

I’ll hear my kettle drum.

It makes me sad when lettuce leaves,

I laugh when dinner rolls,

I wonder if the kitchen sinks

and if a salad bowls,

I’ve listened to a diamond ring,

I’ve waved a football fan,

and if a chimney sweeps the floor,

I’m sure the garbage can.
