How about these?

He shunned her, killed friend.
Now she's married he wants her,
But she walks away.

Being elected
By planets 1 to 7
was just a warm up

Sun cult versus night
Virtue against enchantment -
A union wins

and another clue for the joke from 124...

"Done much, Buddhist Monk?"
"Not this life nor those before."
"Ah, just like me then".

"That's a terrible
Bit of wood you have just there
Reverend Mother"

 Sorry, should have replied before, my No 80- which is based on Pirandello's Henry IV -is "Enrico" by  Manfred Trojahn (1990)
 Could 100 be " Attila"?

Listen, these jokes really aren't worth the wait......

"Done much, Buddhist Monk?"
"Not this life nor those before."
"Ah, just like me then".

 = Dialogue of the Karma-lites


"That's a terrible
Bit of wood you have just there
Reverend Mother"

 = Dire Log of the Carmelites

They are so bad I feel I should offer an apology-haiku........

For these awful jokes
You will shun me forever
So, I'll get me coat
