Board of Inquiry – Thursday Funnies

~ aurorajeanalexander ~ 2 Comments

One day on a company’s doorstep a baby was found.

The Management demanded an immediate investigation about whether or not the company has to take responsibility for the baby.

After four weeks the board of inquiry delivered their report which was immediately published:

Re: Foundling

Dear colleagues,

After an intensive investigation, our board of inquiry decided the baby that has been left on our company doorstep is not a product of our company.

The reasons:

1. In our company nothing has ever been done with passion and love
2. In our company, nothing that made any sense was ever produced.
3. In our company, nobody has ever worked together that closely.
4. In our company, no project was ever completed after nine months.

The Management.

5. The reader in the family might not be the only one affected.

6. Yet the likelihood you’ll give up your routine is nil.

7. So you have to suffer through questions like this each day.

Dangerous Shadow – A Riddle

~ aurorajeanalexander ~ 18 Comments

*******************************************************************************************************

He is strong and he is fast

when he strikes, no prey to last.

He hunts in darkness quite with ease

not on the ground but also in trees

**

When he’s hungry, in greatest shape

he kills the monkey and the ape.

On the ground he hunts boar and deer

birds and reptiles live in fear.

**

He’s fast as lighting and still is proud

a soft footed hunter who’s never loud.

He lives alone most of his life

two of them end up in strife.

**

He’s beautiful but very rare

he’s shy and carries unique hair.

His fur was coveted long ago

he’s almost gone from what we know.

**

He can get three feet without the tail

to watch and hunt him ends in fail.

His teeth and claws do make him climb

and hide in trees for quite some time.

**

Strong he is, blends in and linked

soon enough he’ll be extinct.

He has been hunted, hauled and stalled…

Clouded leopard is he called.

*****
