I miss all the older comedians and especially Henny Youngman. A short and to the point comic. One liners to put you thinking. I loved his imitation of the first man on the sun, where he screamed and jumped up and down waving his hands. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had a six.

    Thank you. I'm varying it Sunday with a more grim tale.

I have got to admit that those jokes you included did bring a smile. I think it was great the way you let them add to the story's momentum, right up until that final pun.
Well done!

An excellent entry for the Borrowing Etiquette writing prompt. This was like flipping the channel and finding an old Variety Show with Milton Berle hosting, or any one of dozens of comedians from yesteryear. Old jokes never die they just get recycled. Well-written and humorous. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.

Well that was a pleasant surprise I clicked on it expecting poetry and that wasn't. I dis enjoy it although I couldn't help reading in the voice of Groucho Marx. Any down to the scoring, 1 star poem; but 5 star prose.

This was different, and entertaining. Old-fashioned punning is where it's at. The one thing I suggest changing is to ditch the white highlighting of the text. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it.

Thanks for the read, and for joining the contest,

SS

    I tried so hard and couldn't get rid of the highlighting. Do you have any tips? Also I contacted the CEC. This was not meant to be a poem, obviously. The site put it in the wrong list.

Thanks for the lovely walk down Memory Lane. I haven't heard or read these jokes in years. They still make me chuckle, which proves their value of being truly funny. Funny in a timeless way. Henny Youngman was a national treasure in my humble opinion.
