1. 

Jessica was told her uncle was a Big Wheel in the travelling amusement industry.  But she wished he was a Bumper Car. 

 

2. 

It turned out the Bearded Lady just had a hedgehog on her face. 

 

3. 

The Whack-a-Moles rebelled and broke little Jimmy’s legs. 

 

4. 

The toffee and the apple 

Did something very naughty. 

They made a baby, impaled the blighter 

And sold it for £1.40 

 

5. 

Dentists reveal that dental floss and candy floss are not interchangeable. 

 

6. 

Mr Round, who ran the ring toss 

Got himself a wife. 

He threw a diamond over her finger 

Now she’s his for life. 

 

7. 

Mrs Crumpet’s nudey ladies 

Are here to entertain you. 

But don’t you get too touchy-feely 

Or Mrs Crumpet will restrain you. 

 

She’ll offer you exotic artistes 

Not some common strumpet. 

For man cannot live by bread alone. 

He needs a bit of Crumpet. 

(for Guy) 

 

8. 

The Elephant in the Big-Top 

Has a trunk both front and back. 

You never know which is for eating peanuts 

And which will spray out cak. 

 

9. 

The zebra moved to live performance after Technicolour ruined her film career. 

 

10. 

The lesser known cousin to the Tunnel of Love 

Is called the Tunnel of Hate. 

It never proved too popular. 

Because you wouldn’t go with a mate. 

 

11.

Addicted to the sting of the twisty bitey thing.

14. 

The hula girl likes round things, 

Circles, hoops and curving. 

But corners are the devils work 

They hide monsters and are unnerving. 

 

15. 

Never ask for a donkey ride unless you mean it. 

 

16. 

The Lizard Man had shiny scales 

He polished them with wax. 

And proudly presented his long green tail 

By cutting holes in the backs of his slacks. 

 

17. 

Timid Tilly quietly runs 

The Carnival coconut shy 

She hides behind the counter 

Letting punters pass on by. 

 

The coconuts taunt Tilly 

Calling her a nervous nutter 

So she knocked them down, one by one 

Now she’s an Olympic shot-putter.
