Puzzles

Does a deaf mute with rheumatoid fingers

have a speed impediment per se?

How do you (and indeed should you)

kiss a cripple's unwashed crutch?

When a blind man gets concussed,

do you think he sees the stars?

Does an invalid with a hole in his trouser pocket

feel rather good sometimes?

Whom is there left for a Scottish Jew

to call a greasy miser?

Do cetaceous mammals have a whale of a time

or do stud horses have a hard life?

Why ask me?

I'm a ******* polymath already?

Notes

Some of my best friends are Scottish jews so just accept there is nothing anti-semitic in lines 9/10. The joke (such as it is) wouldn't have worked if I had said "a Welsh muslim" or a Congolese atheist" or "a New York taxi driver" instead. I could go on.
