Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

She told him he’d soon sleep with the fishes
If he kept refusing to do the dishes
Now the cops are hunting for a series of clues
After the Mob had him fitted with concrete shoes

Nagging Doubt

Married To The Mob

A hen-pecked husband has been granted a divorce in Italy because his mother-in-law keeps nagging him. He told the court in Salerno that his wife's mother had not left him alone through four months of marriage. The man said he would consider marriage again - but only if he did not have to deal with a mother-in-law.
