A thief stole paintings from the Louvre
and loaded them into his van
But the van just wouldn’t move
‘Twas not according to his plan
Police caught him red-handed
Before he could even run
He said, “that’s not how I planned it”
and explained with the following pun:
“I lacked the “MONET” to get “DEGAS” to make the “VAN GOGH”
I have asked myself many, many times,
What was worse, the puns or the rhymes
Or perhaps, it was just the crimes
But the thief , with nothing “TOULOUSE”
Had “DE GAULLE” not even to choose.

This reminds me of the Court Jester who was an INVETERATE (look it up), Punster.
And one day, after a particularly bad series of puns, the King ordered that he be taken out and hanged.
But the King, mindful of the Jester’s long service to him, told him that he would commute the sentence and forgive him, if he promised to stop Punning.
The King then asked him what he had to say for himself.
T And so they hung him. he Jester, who couldn’t help himself, said,
“NO NOOSE IS GOOD NOOSE”.
And so they hung him.
Love to all,
