I BUILT A CABIN IN A SWAMP

I built a cabin in a swamp,
So, I'd have a place to romp,
I love all the snakes and the bugs,
With them I kisses and hugs,
But, on the lizards I like to stomp.

CARRIE CHEATS AT CHECKERS

Carrie likes to cheat at checkers,
Making false kings via double-deckers,
If you turn away for a time,
She'll add crowns down the line,
For she's the queen of fair game wreckers.

OYSTERS OR CLAMS, LIONS OR RAMS

Randy went to a restaurant, but did not know if he liked oysters or clams,

Randy ordered both, ate half of each, then bagged the rest to take to best bud, Sam's,

Randy had been very confused that day,

His rabbit and gerbil had run away,

Randy could not pick which football team to bet on; choice was Lions or the Rams.

THE HOOD OF HORRORS

I had been in the hospital, in stroke recovery, healing my dome,

Then, into the neighborhood of horrors, I moved to a quiet, new home,

There were no real humans there,

Just demons, everywhere,

They're always trying to get in at night, working crowbars, while drooling foam 

DUMPSTER DIVING FOR FOOD? I EAT IN THE BAR

I walked into a bar serving free, salty popcorn, but nothing else to eat,

The free popcorn was served to all embalmed patrons, so they could drive down the street,

I didn't buy a single drink,

But, I acted drunk as stink,

Nice dinner; the salty popcorn tasted much better than any dumpster meat.

LIVE AT THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND BAR, GRILL & TAKE-OUT

I went to the "Country of the Blind," where the one-eyed man, he sings,

But, he didn't sing for nothing, and you had to pay with blings,

So, all my golden jewelry including my piercings and my rings,

I gladly turned it over, and the one-eyed man sings things,

The one eyed-man sings country western, while on tiny bells he dings,

Lastly, the one -eyed man walked off stage, and on his bag of gold, he clings.

QUANTUM TUNNELING: POOR HARRY

When quantum tunneling, we take pride,

Through solid walls, like magic, we slide,

Except Harry; he got stuck; he died,

What we could retrieve, we did not hide,

It was closed casket, for what was inside.

TORMENTED BY THE BLUE FOG FARIES

There be a clan of fairies, who live down by the bog,

They buzz around my head, in nights pitch thick, with blue fog,

They have pulled out much of my hair,

I've got bald spots, everywhere,

Once home, I kill the sharp pains, with two pints of red grog.

Then along came a shark, and then there were three,
Out of those ninety-nine minnows, three swam back toward the shore,
Then, along came a bass, and he ate one more,
The last two little minnows decided to date,
They made ninety-nine minnows, and I caught them for

 bait.

I claimed I had a bad disease, a wheeze and sniffles cold.

They have shellfish, no red meat,

For the big, rare, red meats, crossover the street to the nightclub called Bam Bam's.

THE BAD HUBBY BLUES

My wife said I was a bad hubby, and she gave me the boot,

My wife said, it was my drinking, that was the problem, the root

She took the keys to the car,

I had to walk to the bar,

Where I consumed so many sweet bitters, I didn't give a hoot.

FROSTING AND THE BEAR ON SKATES

I spotted a bear on ice skates come zooming from across the lake,

He eyed me as I stuffed my mouth with frosting covered cake,

With hope I would not soon be dead,

The bear stoped to lick off the frosting, so my soul he did not take.

Then, he’d stand there perfectly still.

I am doing it, because her daddy gave me a job, working in the day,

To make stinking rich your widowed wife,

I'll sell you insurance on your life,

If my sales career takes off, I'll buy a family sized condo, on the bay.

CONTAMINATED GROCERIES, NOW MY CLOTHES MIGHT FIT

Bugs have laid eggs in my food, because my windows have no screens,

That is why I have those maggots, swimming in my pork and beans,

There is a fuzzy worm,

He's chewing my wheat germ,

Maybe I should just diet, at least I'll fit my skinny jeans.

Then, slid down the slide; rest of day.

THE CHESS BET IN THE HOOD

I found an old chess board, and some chess pieces; enough to make a set,

I took their cash, and made so much money,

When people lost, their eyes went tear runny,

Some got real mad and said to me, they were sorry we had ever met.

FINDING LOVE AND REVENGE IN THE POOL

I use to have a social problem, because I liked to drool at school,

Didn't do much good, you see,

At school, I fell in love with a drooler, while both drooling in the spool.

Then she found our bluetick hound, and sniffed between his toes.

Uncle Lee rode his small scooter into a pickup truck backend,

Stuck tubes in him to keep him fed,

Then they setup a nice clock, so Lee could count tics until his end.

APOCOLYPSE COW

I was sleeping on the ground, when awakened by an apocalypse cow,

It was trampling on me, and my internal organs were bleeding out, ow,

I have been killed by a lowly, old cow, I fear,

Not a raging bull; nor a cantankerous steer,

After my bones were all busted, I was eaten by a glutinous sow.

THE POLTERGEIST PIGS

My pigs became poltergeist haunting critters,
They were all determined to give me the jitters,
Because ham and bacon yesterday,
Was their fate for my pay,
But, their haunting I'll shake off with some bitters.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS

It's the holiday known as "April Fools",

It's the day they close down all the schools,

Daddy locks up his power tools,

Mommy reminds us of house rules,

But puppy, he just farts and drools.

THE FADING CLONES

It is for my great species, uber humiliating,

I am a clone suffering from replicative fading,

Soon, our species will be no more,

Just dying tissues on the floor,

If we weren't cloned in a beaker, we'd be planet invading.

They ate deer meat all summer, the tastiest deer were the itty bitty.

WAGNER AIN'T NO BRAHMS

I still went and got my gun,

Thought I'd have some pork by one,

When I got back, I saw the big pork beast dancing with the pool boy, named Gerard. 

AS THE MEN IN MY FAMILY AGE

100% of the men who age, will physic change,

Their belts will ride down low, in a below the belly range,

As their bones shrink smaller,

Young people will seem taller,

And, when their hair falls out, they will look bald or sick with mange.

THE BELL TOLLS FOR MY GOLDFISHES

So, in the bird bath set my fish free,
A robin made my fishes bell toll.

But the harbor master said I should stay far away,
He said my fish were stinking up the town,
My boat should be sunk down,
And that’s where my fish catch should stay.

ME AND THE ANGELS SING

When I fell out my window; I slapped the pavement, and knew I was doomed,

I bled out on the meat wagon, and at a fairly young age, entombed,

My bod did not hurt very long,

Before hearing the Angel's song,

I guess all my pain and suffering, was how for the high choir, I was groomed.

The price of groceries has brought me down on my weak knees,

I paid it with cash, oh shucks,

I've gone down low, hoping the higher prices would soon ease.

Like an overflowed septic tank,
Spring showers bring depression and pain.

THE MAGIC VOLES LIMERICKS

I went out in the snow and made a hole,

At the bottom of the hole there was a vole,

 The vole said, "you know voles are magic in Mich,

So, I'll grant just one wish," 

The vole wished he had hot soup in a bowl.

Voles can make magic and I met one that cursed me,

Now, I can't work with numbers because I can't count past three,

It gets better yet,

Don't know the alphabet,

Cursed voles make me ignorant and free. 

The magic vole liked to play French horn, trumpet and flute,

In fact, he could play anything that made the noise of a toot,

He could beat on a drum,

Sing tenor and hum,

 And, when the police showed up he could scoot.

And, the little kitty cats too,
Her horrible noise was just so bad,
 Away all the birdies flew,

Myrna‘s husband at last had enough,
 He stuffed full, the pipes with gum,
So, Myrna took up a new instrument,
And, started beating on her drum.

My trek across this universe,

Has been in trains, boats, planes and cars.

Then, they roasted and ate him, in a scene that was real scary.
