I WALKED THROUGH THE SHADOW IN THE OFFICE OF BAD BREATH

I walked through the office under the shadow of bad breath,

I turned away my coworkers:  Jim, Tom, Tim, Jane and Beth,

But, I did not get too excited,

Some days their breaths are blighted,

Besides, I'm the owner's nephew;  my dear old uncle Seth.  

TENT WORMS IN MY BRAIN

Ned cursed TV cable with "pox".

ADAM, HIS TRAILER AND THE POPLAR TREE POEMS

Adam lived in little tiny trailer,
His poplar tree had a structural failure,
It is too bad that Adam drank like a souse,
He was canned inside his own trailer house.

Adam had a trailer,
Under a poplar tree,
He passed out like a sailor,
Then, the tree fell on he.

CURE FOR AN UNUSUAL ITCH ON THE DOG

I have an unusual dog, 

I named her the Polliwog,

She done swum in the ditch,

Got a real awful itch,

So, I mud-packed her in a frog bog.

 

Polliwog Epilogue

Cured The Ditch Itch On The Bitch

THE BEAR SQUIRREL

My friend looks like a big bear and thinks like a dumb squirrel,

He forgets where he puts things like, the thing that makes his hair curl,

He remembers stuff wrong,

Like the words to a song,

And, clams give him the runs and the hurls.

SOUR DRINK HAIKU

Lemons, sour tea,

Sour Milk, Sour Coffee,

Whiskey sour, tears.

Top Down, Bottoms Up And, It's Over

Kyler and Roxy were happy soul mates,

They found it out at work, on dates,

A decaying love is a loss,

Covered quickly with green moss,

Red hot tempers would seal their fates.

I WONDERED, WHERE'S MY PARLOR

I wondered where my parlor was,
So, I searched my house with a double look,
But, I never found where the parlor was,
Although, I did find a little nook,

I called in a construction expert,
To show me my parlor's spot,
He said drive stakes in my yard's dirt,
Because a parlor I have not,

The expert said he'd build me one,
Just off the entryway,
But, money I have none,
So, the expert would not stay,

Now, I sit upon my porch out front,
Dreaming of the parlor that would never be,
But, one thing came from my parlor hunt,
I gained a nook and the price was free.

TYRANT ORANGE

When Donny was a little orange, he dreamed of a future day,

When Donny would be president and, have scary things to say,

He would threaten persons near and far,

And, be all bullies rising star,

But, he made too many people mad so, Donny went away.

Rugs and bugs and it's a new pillow for me

My pillow ended up way down on the floor,

I didn't hear it fall because I loud snore,

Now, My pillow is all full of bugs,

From my seldom cleaned rugs,

So, I'll buy a new pillow when I go to the store.

SKEGEMOG LAKE MONSTER LIMERICK II

Snapping turtle twenty feet wide,
In Skegemog Lake where you reside,
Are giant muskies the food you take,
Or, do you feed on the rattlesnake,
Whatever you eat had better hide.

BRAD ATE SPOILED HOT DOG RELISH

Brad ate a hot dog but the relish was spoiled,
His stomach couldn't take it and so it recoiled,
He had to repeat and repeat,
Until his upchuck was complete,
Now he won't eat relish unless, it's been boiled.

HAVE A COOKIE? MAYBE NOT

My hand got caught in my cookie jar,

I got it out but, it has a big scar,

My cookies are now cruddy,

All covered in my bloody,

And, my company just pulled up in their car.

THE SHARK RIPPED ED A NEW ONE IN THE BOTTOM OF ED'S BOAT

The shark knew he couldn't get Ed while Ed was on his boat,
So, the shark ripped a new hole in the bottom of Ed's float,
As Ed's boat went underwater,
Ed made like an otter,
Still, It was Ed's destiny to be by a shark, smote.

JOE THE SUNFISH

Joe the sunfish liked to eat lady bugs,
He liked eating worms and not so much slugs,
He liked his girlfriend best,
So, they built a big nest,
And, raised up a sunfish family with hugs.

JERRY DOCKED HIS BOAT UP TO THE QUAY

Jerry docked his boat up to the quay,
He wanted to unload it so to get on his way,
Alas, to Jerry’s great dislike,
There was a loading dock strike,
So, Jerry’s load just sat there all day.

A TIGER, A PIE AND THE FOURTH OF JULY

At a picnic on the Fourth Of July,
A tiger ate all of my apple pie,
I told him that in my heart there's no room,
For anyone who would wrongly consume,
And, that's when he started to cry.

🇺🇸 ON THE 4Th 2021 🇺🇸

I burned my hands doing sparklers then, I started crying,

I next played with fireworks and my fingers went flying,

And, my roasted hot dogs with buns,

Gave my visitors the runs,

But hey, it's 2021 and at least I am trying.

MY DOG HATES SWISS CHARD OR, IS IT JUST ME

I had a pet doggy named Fred,

He became vicious when he wasn't fed,

But, when I fed him Swiss chard,

He bit me real hard,

So hard I bled out and went dead.
