Mel bought 100% snow tires

(A Modern Fairy Tale)

 

Mel bought 100% snow tires,

a juice maker with real beef,

but was a lousy accountant

and his wife had 1.27 babies--

all with skinny legs,

finally they agreed on toilet paper

and Mel ordered 100 gallons of toothpaste

through the Home Shopping Club,

the girl at the desk was very friendly

and gave a complimentary kiss,

gift-wrapped and home-delivered,

Mel had a nice swimming pool

with a 4-door sedan,

but his wife could not afford

another abortion,

so they sold their condominium

to the lonely insurance salesman,

who booked them for a trip

to Hawaii--

needless to say, Mel's teeth

needed dentures and he was

laid off from work,

when his telephone rang

and in came Mr. Good-looking

himself, who offered Mel a position

in the Company, but none of them

could type, so they ended up

in divorce.
