dales-photoLook at that odd … thing.

Is it a ball, is it a balloon, no it’s …

That reminds me, I need some oranges.

Mandarins are more appeeling, oranges give me the pip!

Very funny, seriously though I’m going to make some marmalade.

My Ma made marvellous marmalade.

Very amusing Marmaduke. I might make some jam too.

James, what happened when a truck spilt a load of strawberries on the motorway?

Go on, tell me.

Caused a jam!

Your jokes get worse. Say, why don’t we pop to the bar for a beer?

Great idea, I’ll raise a toast to your marmalade!

    That was fun! Now I’ve a hankering for marmelade, no strawberry jam, no…

    Marmaduke really knows how to keep things colorful even if the only avaliable color is orange~

    Keith,
    LOL. The jokes may only get worse with a beer!

    Marmalade it is fabulous, and always better than being in a jam

    Which reminds me I have some Seville oranges chopped up in the freezer.

    Thank you for making me smile again, Keith! I love how you play with words.

    The old jam jokes are always sticky ones to tell.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings June 10, 2021 / 16:51

      I was her bread, she was my jam. One day she left me saying she deserved butter. Boom boom! Cheers James.

      • James McEwan's avatar James McEwan June 10, 2021 / 19:45

        I called her my furry bunny, because she dropped the toast Butterside Down.
        Yaak!

    Wonderful. Now I want toast with marmalade.

    Dear Keith,

    Nothing like a pun that makes us groan within a story that makes us smile. 😀 Fabulous froggy

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings June 10, 2021 / 16:37

      That was exactly my aim, Rochelle! Laughing takes more effort than a leisurely groan!

  12. draliman's avatar draliman June 10, 2021 / 16:25

    Hopefully his jokes will improve after a few pints 🙂

  13. plaridel's avatar plaridel June 10, 2021 / 18:35

    while trump can have his mar-a-lago, we can have marmalade. 🙂

    I bet you enjoyed writing this as I did reading it. It does look like a giant fruit!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings June 12, 2021 / 14:57

      I love writing simple humour, and I’m so pleased you liked it! Cheers, Lisa.

        Cheers!

    Mandarins are certainly more a-peeling! I love corny jokes. (How do you catch a unique rabbit. How? U-nique up on it. I couldn’t help myself…haha.) Cute dialogue and fun story, Keith!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings June 12, 2021 / 14:54

      I like them too and yours is just brilliant! Thanks so much, Brenda.

    Hahahaha love all the dad jokes here!

  18. Sandra's avatar Sandra June 13, 2021 / 10:36

    It’s going to be a long night. Even a dozen beers might not dull this edge.

  19. Na'ama Yehuda's avatar Na'ama Yehuda June 15, 2021 / 02:09

    This was very punny … and now I have me a harking for some jam. Or marmalade. Even better … 😉

  20. Tannille's avatar Tannille June 15, 2021 / 04:59

    Agreed, mandarins are better. Pips are annoying.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings June 15, 2021 / 16:34

      Yep, pips give me the pip too! I do like Cox’s Orange Pippin apples though!

  21. granonine's avatar granonine June 15, 2021 / 18:21

    Great stuff, Keith. Puns and alliteration, all in one little story 🙂
