THERE WAS A HOUSE IN NEW YORK QUEENS

There was a house in New York Queens,
They called the "House of Fun",
It was the ruin of many quarter rolls,
For me it ruined more than one,
I did not have a lot of quarter rolls,
But, I did have more than one,
I became addicted at playing pinball,
And, now my rolled quarters amount to none,

So mothers teach your offspring,
Not to do what I’ve just done,
For its been the ruin of many perfect quarter rolls,
And, for me I ruined more than one.

ROD THE MERMAN

There once was a merman named Rod,
He had only a taste for fresh cod,
But, a mermaid named Trish,
Would eat just tuna fish,
Rod ate tuna because Trish had a bod.

A LEPRECHAUN NAMED JANE LIMERICK

There was a leprechaun named Jane,
She moved from Dublin to Southern Spain,
She sold sports cars,
Saved gold in quart jars,
And, made rainbows after each rain.

MY IRISH SETTER NAMED BIG LIMERICK

My Irish Setter named Big,
Never danced any Irish jig,
He knocks you down on the floor,
And, then declares war,
Until you give him up a fresh cig.

BEWARE THE IDES OF MAY LIMERICK

Beware of the ides of May
If your in-laws are coming to stay,
They will not leave soon,
Until the fall harvest moon,
When they head back to Florida to play.

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH HAIKU

The Thirteenth, Friday
Long knives, scared kids, bellyaches
Fish, rock hard, school lunch.

A FILLING LOST

It's very chilling,
I lost a filling,
Now when I eat it hurts,
Because of the billing,
A dentist ain't thrilling,
I'll just cringe when I eat deserts.

OLIVER INSIST

Oliver was always trying to insist,
To eat the things not on his diets list,
His body was so round,
His health was unsound,
He didn't listen to his nutritionist.

Oliver thought his gorging was nifty,
But he never saw his birthday at fifty,
Still, under the ground,
His appetite's sound,
He smells fast food when the wind's a bit shifty.

CLYDE THE SPIDER AGAIN?

Clyde was a spider who ate only flies,
He dressed for lunch in suits and bow ties,
He ate all his meals,
Leaning back on his heals,
Table manners was his despise.
