What the hell is pre-shredded cheese, anyway? They shredded it before they shredded it?

Mary had a little bear  
To whom she was so kind  
And everywhere that Mary went  
You saw her bear behind.

Mary had a little bat  
Its fur as black as night  
And everywhere that Mary went  
The bat turned out the light

Mary had a little lamb  
It was delicious.

An Hispanic man was born with two penises (peni?).  
So to tell them apart, he named the first one Jose.  
And named the second one Hose B.

Actually, now that I think about it for more than a second, I screwed this up. Wouldn’t pre-shredded cheese just be the whole block of cheese?

In the seat in back of me.

I keep getting run down by same bike - over and over. It’s a vicious cycle.  
Also, research shows that 6 out of 7 dwarves aren’t happy.
