Pudding

After slaving over Christmas dinner, to little appreciation,
Mrs Wick doused her little pudding in brandy and set it on fire.

Mr Wick coughed and died from the agonising burns,
Cursing his wife’s stupid pet name for him.

Fireworks

The couple stood by the bonfire.

As the woman stared into the man’s eyes, he exploded.

His passion screeched its way above the field, filling the sky with the colours of his love.

When bits of bones and clumps of flesh began falling on the crowd, the woman moaned how he “always took things too far.”

Mates

‘I’ve got an iron deficiency,’ revealed George.

‘My wife has that,’ said Mack.
‘Never manages to get my shirt creases out!’

The mates laughed their heads off as George ever-so-slowly died from anaemia.
