I MET A PHEASANT NEAR THE ANTIQUE STORE

I met a pheasant, and his/her? name is Leslie Beaks,

The menu sounded nasty, so I'll scurry off to buy antiques.

DISEASED LINKS

I got diseased by hitting links,

Now, my time on the internet really stinks,

Collecting my treasure down each road, street and lane.

All he does is eat weeds and laze around,

And, my soul is owned by the bank.

POOR LITTLE TENDERFOOT

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking on some stones,
And, with every single step he took,
He made a dozen moans,

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking on some sand,

So, he popped every sweat gland,

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking on some sticks,
And, every single step he took,
Felt like stepping on ice picks,

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking in outer space,
But, his suit depressurized and he blew up,
Because he didn't tie his shoelace.

THE VAMPIRE DREAM

They stay out in the dark river valleys,
They do not live but, haunt our dreams,
Of their kills they keep no tallies,
Revenge and bloodlust are their themes,

What sharpened hooks that bleed our necks,
That takes in life and exhale death,
No mortal signs can craft a hex,
To save our blood and human breath,

Though they have immortal powers,
To quench their thirst they make us bleed,
Until, eternal sleep is ours.

A KING WHO FIGHTS WITHOUT HIS ARMY

Once on the plateaus of medieval France,
A giant monster foot ate peasants,
The foot would dine on bodies and wine,
While the king dined on pork and pheasants,

A cry went out unto the king,
To raise an army and much more,
To fight the giant monster foot,
And, put the kings sword to Great War,

The king ignored the peasant’s prayers,
To the mighty king of France,
Instead the king let the monster,
Across the Gaul’s land dance,

Then, one day the foot was at the outskirts of Paris,
Where the king and his castle be,
The foots intentions were very nefarious,
As even the king could see,

The king raised up an army of knights,
To fight outside the city of glee,
Upon the battlefield the king set his sights,
With his nobles he’d make history,

When the sun was near the half in the sky,
The king and his nobles made their advance,
It was time to roust or die,
For Medieval France,

The king and forces took the field,
A thousand knights or more,
They knew the foot would never yield,
The foot was evil to its core,

The king sent out his bravest knight,
To slay the five toed beast,
But, it was just a slaughter,
As the foot had a fancy feast,

The king sent out two more nights,
They both met with equal slaughter,
The foot was filling up on men,
And, wanted to wash them down with water,

The king decided it was time,
To rush his whole army off to fight,
So the king of France led the charge
While his knights stood still in fright,

The king was eaten whole with horse,
The French army ran away beaten,
The foot went on to Paris of course,
To get some really good people eaten,

There is a lesson to be learned,
About fighting monsters who like to eat,
A king who fights without his army,
Will go back home in defeat.

You’ve never lived through a terrifying storm,
Until you’ve lived to watch the bedbugs swarm,
They race towards you because your blood is warm,
This is the lot you’ll face in a college dorm,

Bedbugs drink your blood and could not be meaner,
As your blood flows out you will become leaner,
Their bloodsucking jaws could not look obscener,
You just wish your roommate had been a bit cleaner,

Bedbugs, bedbugs in the very dark of night,
Causing all this mayhem and excessive fright,
As to your new digs just you don’t get too tight,
Cause we’re bringing them down with homemade dynamite.

I DREAMT I HAD BIG TURKEY FEET

I dreamt I had big turkey feet,
And a drumstick for a leg,
I dreamt I had two turkey wings,
And I yearned to lay an egg,

I dreamt I was sitting in a tree,
With a thick branch for my couch,
I dreamt that I was shot dead in my tree,
And, my final thought was ouch!

I dreamt I was floating right above,
A dinner table set in honor of me,
And there my dead corpse was layed out with love,
Well centered so all could see,

Then, my dream came to an abrupt end,
As the diners devoured my meat,
And I woke up back at my hunting camp,
But I still had big turkey feet.

I trade rutabaga for coffee, if it's the right brand. 

MY FRUIT BASKET

The fruit in my basket was rotten,
It had been placed there and then forgotten,
The grapes were real slimy,
The pears withered and grimy,
The oranges were pithy like cotton.

Today I received a fruit basket,
It was really more of a fruit casket,
The apples were bruised,
The bananas abused,
The cellophane didn't really mask it.

THE DEADLY DEE DEES

When the deadly dee dees come out at night,

They only want to make a bite,

They'll bite your toes,

They'll bite your nose,

They'll bite your skin, where pajamas are tight.

THE SHOVEL, PIGS AND OGRES LIMERICK

In the ogre village next door,

They are preparing for war,

I stole one of their pigs,

And, A shovel that digs,

Now they're coming to even the score.

NOT HARDER TIMES, WHEN I GOT DIMES

My net worth is a pocket full of dimes,

I have lived through much harder times,

I'd eat some begged bread,

Felt myself well feed,

For more bread, I'd do all sorts of crimes.

A WALK IN THE WOODS TAKES LIFE IN A NEW DIRECTION

I thought my walk in the woods would be very lame,
Then, along came a panther and he was not tame,
It was time for his dinner,
And, I'm never a winner,
So, ended my search for both fortune and fame.

A BUTTERFLY NAMED IRVING

There was a butterfly named Irving,
When he flew he went a swerving,
He got by a bird and bat,
And, an orange kitty cat,
They found his moves perturbing,

Irving the butterfly liked to dance,
The lady butterflies he'd romance,
Irving strove to improve,
His every dance move,
So, his lady luck he could enhance.

DON'T PLAY WITH A CHAINSAW LIMERICK

Joe went out to cut some firewood,
He played with the chainsaw and that's not good,
He cut off his feet,
And fell on his seat,
Now he respects the chainsaw like he should.

MY DOG SWIM WITH BABY FROGS

I went swimming up the river to a lake of frogs,

I swam amongst their babies as I paddled like my dogs,

Then, along came a bass,

He bit upon my mass,

And, he just wouldn't let go of me until, I climbed onto some logs.

HICKORY AND A HOLE IN MY SOCK

Hickory was the wood in my clock,

Pine was the boards on my dock,

Known by everyone,

My dock build was done,

While a mouse chewed a hole in my sock.

A WALRUS IN THE JUNKYARD

There was a walrus in my junkyard, biting on the good tires,

He liked explosions in his mouth, then he chewed upon the wires,

I doubt the walrus was quite all there,

The exploding tires gave me a scare,

Then the walrus smoked a cigar, and caused some gas tank fires.

TEETH BRUSHED WILL TRAVEL

Palmer likes to hit the booze, some say he is nothing but a lush,

I find it hard to tell, because after each drink, his teeth he'll brush,

Palmer travels on a train,

Sometimes Palmer takes a plane,

Palmer always has his toothbrush, so his habit stays hush, hush.

I GO TO THE MASS BECAUSE OF MY CLASS

I may be illiterate and just a bit crass,

For I come from the lowest of the lowered down class,

I get paid to sweep floors,

For my betters open doors,

And, fix toilets when they're plugged with a mass. 

SNOWMOBILE RACE HAIKU HUMOR

Snowmobile, fast, race,
Tree, snowmobile stops, I don’t,
Broken body, ouch!!!

THE HAPPY RHYMEY TIMES

Several years ago, people would mostly speak in a rhyme,

People were very happy, and very happy all the time,

Then along came this meanie,

Speaking the language, obsceney.

Now if you don't speak obsceney, it is considered a crime.

CARING FOR REINDEER AFTER CHRISTMAS, A BUSINESS MODEL

After Christmas, you'll see reindeer meat is extremely cheap,

It always is, once Santa has parked his red flying heap,

Santa cashes in for greed,

Saves big bucks on reindeer feed,

Santa waits until late fall, then rounds up reindeer for the leap.

MY BABY GETS HIS ROUGHAGE

I have a pet raccoon and he eats only pinecones, 

Does not care if filled with peanut butter or stones,

He has rough roughage and while it still steams,

I hear him complain, then he hollers, then screams,

I know that he is all done, when he sighs, and then moans.

BUGGY BITTERS

Whenever I go down to the neighborhood pub,

I get layers of dead bugs in my bitters and grub,

Tried partaking elsewhere,

Found much short pubic hair,

I guess the bugs are ok at my old townie hub.

DUSTY BITTERS

I went to the tavern for a pint of bitters,

In it were specks, looked like little critters,

The bar keep said it was just dust,

He'd pour me another, if he must,

I said that "the legs on the dust gives me jitters".

BRONSON THE BEAVER BEAR-Limerick

Bronson was a beaver bear,
His species was really rare,
He built damns with logs,
Frightened cats and dogs,
A cave was his main lair.

There once was a beaver bear named Bronson,
He moved to Michigan from Wisconsin,
His body was a black bear,
His beaver head gave a scare,
He married a beaver bear named Johnson.

BENNY IN THE WOODS

Poor Benny had to find himself a brand new place to squat,,

He lost his old log cabin due to rain, and snow and rot,

It is a trailer the the woods,

It has stores of pasta dry goods,

He's looking for a roomie, who can fix the toilet pot.

MOON STRANDED DREAMS

Four stranded astronauts were sitting on a moon,

Dreaming of banana bread and a Saturday cartoon,

Then, one of them got silly,

And, dreamed of Cajun chili,

Then, they all dreamed ice cream was coming very, very soon.
