BITES AND THRIFTING

I'm low on funds, so I went thriftng at a little thrift store,

I bought fancy, fashion jeans, and nifty shirts that I adore,

Next day, I had bedbugs and fleas,

Ringworm, head lice and gross, scabies,

Today I used the fire pit, burned my clothes, now I feel poor.

SNOUT PARTY

I went to Midland Michigan to buy me a pig,

A pig that would work hard, using his pig snout to dig,

I wanted truffles to eat,

Trained pigs can smell truffle meat,

With truffles and ham, my dinner party will be big.

IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCHEME

My mind drifted, lost in space, where I could scheme,

About how I could get on the grammar school tether ball team,

I decided to replace short Paul,

By saying the ball was too tall,

I replaced Paul on the team, and realized a scheme got me my dream.

HECTOR THE WEASAL LIMERICK

Now hectors hair is on a brush for an easel.

NO POINT COMPLAINING TO JACK

On a recent travel, I went up a mountain pass,

I rose up to the city with the towers of glass,

I got a coffee to go,

The service was slow,

I told the waiter; he yelled at me, what a jack sass.    

MY TAINTED TUNA

My tuna fish was kind of tainted,

With blue and green dots it was painted,

Although, it was my main course,

It smelled like sweat from my horse,

With the garbage the tuna was acquainted.

MY NEIGHBOR EATS DIGITS

Your neighbor next door down, knows,

That you have juicy fingers and toes,

As the neighbor's belly gets tight,

He'll definitely take a bite,

And back, your lost digit, never grows.

FLOWER GARDEN OR LAWN?

My tiny, sick  panzy would not grow,

My little, white lillies, they grow slow,

My roses are all dead,

Both the pink and the red,

If things don't turn around soon, I'll mow.

THE ARMY OF FOREST MONSTERS IS COMING

The evil monsters are no longer hiding in the deep woods,

They want to take my simple home, and my hard toiled for goods,

Alone, I have no choice, but to fight,

Forty to one odds are very tight,

My last thoughts are for my family; I'm joining them tonight.

PATCHES DUG HOLES LIMERICKS

Patches was a dog who liked to did holes,
He dug up frogs and mice and little ground moles,
But, on one fine day,
Patches went away some say,
When a snake made Patches part of his fat rolls.

Patches dug holes to bury his meals,
Patches dug holes to hide the kids cars, called Hot Wheels,
Patches was nice to your face,
But, he'd bury your briefcase,
Patches will bury most everything he steals.

ALIEN TRANSFORMATION B

Look what those bad, alien Martians came and done to me,

Into a bee body, oh, well,

I will visit pretty flowers, and make and eat honey.

He lived with the horses in a stall,

BENNY COLLECTED COINS OF SILVER AND GOLD

Benny collected coins of silver and gold,
They came from the mint, authenticated, I’m told,
He should have been very rich,
But there was some sort of hitch,
The price didn’t go up, until after he sold.

Benny collected coins found out in the deep, blue sea,
The coins were from pirate treasure, as rare as can be,
But Benny had very bad fate,
For the coins were modern of date,
The oldest date Benny had, was just 2003.

I WENT SALMON FISHING IN THE SPRING? LIMERICKS

I went salmon fishing early this spring,
I was pulled in like a real ding-a-ling,
The fish pulled me down river,
The cold gave me a shiver,
I don't know if it was a coho or king.

I went salmon fishing in the early spring,
But, salmon run in the fall and that's the thing,
I did get my wish,
I hooked a big fish,
He yanked my arm off and my gold ring.

I went salmon fishing in the spring,
I hooked onto a big log or some other big thing,
I had very bad luck,
My bait would not come unstuck,
My line broke and made a loud ping.

A SAD BUGLE MEMORY

School is back, and I took my golden bugle to school,

I play it between classes; I'm the kid who looks cool,

But when I play sad taps,

It reminds me of paps,

And the day I found him lying face down in the pool.

I AM WHAT I ATE, SO I STAY HOME

If I were what I eat, I would be a big bow shaped noodle,

That is the food I eat, and I share it with my toy poodle,

I look like a big pimple soar,

I don't consume them, anymore,

I stay in the house, and with crayons and paper, I doodle.

MY FIRST HABOOB

I was caught in my very first major haboob,

I lost all my internet and had no YouTube,

I felt my sad heart race

When there was no MySpace,

I would have played trombone, but I had no slide lube.

THAT GNOME GAVE ME RABIES

I went to the woods to find firewood for home,
There I met a mean, nasty, evil, dumb, old gnome,
I'm not sure which was worse,
His deep bite or his curse,
I got rabies and my mouth is starting to foam.

You see, nana jumped her bail,

Yes, dear nana is a fail,

Now she is back in prison, but won't admit, ax murdering is wrong.

THE EYEBALL OOZE NEWS

I like to share all of my good and bad reviews and news,

Today, while I let some fish fry,

Grease spat into my better eye,

It burned through my big, black eyeball, and my eyeball did ooze.   

THE SHEEP KEEPER

I bought me an old country farm to raise me free roaming sheep,

But if they get in front of my pickup, they get a beep, beep.

Corn

I raised four generations of corn,

A fifth is yet unborn,

At the first sign of day,

My corn will pop through the clay,

Then the city crop will be born.

LITTLE WIGGINS THE PIG POEMS

Little Wiggins the pig was not very smart,
He borrowed lots of money to buy a go-cart,
Little Wiggins didn't work,
So, like a real jerk,
He didn't pay for his cart from the start.

Little Wiggins the pig did nobody harm,
But, Wiggins ran up some debt,
And, made farmer Joe upset,
Now, Joe wears a pigtail as a charm.

A MEANINGLESS, WHIMSICAL PHILOSOPHY

The universe appears eternal, from dawn, to dawn, to dawn, to dawn,

But, when the universe disappears, its life will be a tiny yawn,

So head to mars,

Maybe, the stars,

Eat expensive seafood, like lobster, oysters, crabs, octopus and prawn.

THE BUG IS THE WINNER, TODAY

WHAT CREPT UP ED'S NOSE? III

To make flaky, crisp scones,

He made haggis from their innards, his recipe, he wouldn't tell.

OOH, OOH ECONOMY

I just realized that I am in an "ooh, ooh" economy,

All food prices must be  low, I think that's Deuteronomy.

MATHS, PATHS, TOILETS AND DOGGY BATHS

My school guidance councillor, says I have no ability, to use the maths,

At a fancy hotel, I could open  doors, 

I could get a better job grooming pets, then giving them their daily baths.

I'M GOING TO SQUIRREL

I am going to squirrel away some money, so when the world don't do so well,

MICHIGAN HAS NO FRUIT COBBLER PIE

I went to visit my old homeland, to eat some peach cobbler pie,

Many people say I sound silly, and peaches fatten the thigh,

My adopted home, only has rhubarb,

It is stringy and sour, but low carb,

In truth, my new home has a bad climate; you freeze, and then you fry.

I'LL BE ALIVE, OR I'LL SLEEP FEEDING WORMS

When things look most, terribly bad,

I don't just mope around, real sad,

When things are at their worst,

I always panic first,

When it's over, I'm dead or glad.

TATERS LEAVE A TRAIL OF PANS

Everyday, it is fried taters in the morning, and a fry pan in the big sink,

Now, my sink is so full of fry pans, I can't maneuver a glass around for a drink,

Maybe I'll move to another apartment, and start a new fry pan pile, wink, wink.

THE ANGEL BEAST

The smoky fires in Canada, have clouded my rural store,

I don't sell much here, except pop, smokes, chips and my stories of lore,

While perched on smoke clouds, he picks his feast,

Tourists filled with my smokes, chips and pop, are the ones he picks, the least.

I AM A MASTER CHEF?

I roasted a chicken, after I stuffed it with garbanzo beans,

My grocery cart was full of real cinnamon, thin sticks,

Used for flavoring cocoa, and occasional, tongue licks,

What is the big deal?

With planning a meal?

Meals are a fantastic, big easy, with my simple picks.

FALL, BEES AND TREES

The sun sank down and burned up the Autumn, red trees,
