Morris Dancing Puns

A fun page of puns about Morris Dancing.

This very English dance is a traditional sight outside public houses during the days of summer.  In return for free ale from the landlord the Morris Men will do their dances.

The Morris Men tend to be seasoned dad dancers with jobs like accountants and bank managers, who dress in odd costumes, wave handkerchiefs and perform Dancing with Bells On.

It is wonderful entertainment once you have had a few pints yourself.

Here are the puns.
