TWO DRAGONS WALKED INTO A BAR

Two dragons walked into a bar,

They breathed fire and smelled like hot tar,

The smell was not appealing,

Then, they stuck their heads through the ceiling,

Just to make a wish upon their lucky star.

WHAT YOU DON'T DO WITH BLEACH

I went to polish my best table's top,
It was stained with coffee and red soda pop,
I wish someone would teach,
You don't polish with bleach,
Or, at least someone would have yelled at me "STOP!"

THE TOMATO PLANT FROST LIMERICK

For my tomato garden was destroyed by frost,

Some say they tire of my rants,

That I should have covered my plants,

True but, I've already worked to the point of exhaust.

I FORGOT TO PACK STUFF

Can I borrow your toothbrush because, I left mine home,

I'm afraid I'll need to use it while, I'm visiting your dome,

Don't fret, I have no disease,

Unless, you count STDs,

And, I must borrow your shaver and foam

I Horde Gas

I horde and store gas in plastic sandwich bags,

It's safe cause I wrap the bags in paper towels and old rags,

When I have spent my last bill,

And, when my mobile home has it's fill,

The floor on my trailer, it sags

A PINCHY OF HERBS FOR BLURBS

By adding just a pinchy of herbs,

For us chicks in the nest,
He'll be remembered for doing that thing.

MY HOUSING HIGH

So, I sold mine to give leisure a try,

WHY BOTHER WITH FLOWERS

All my flowers just died in their rows,

Every time I'm done planting it freezes and snows,

Of course, the freezing will be done,

By the August last Sun,

Alas, by the Ides of September the frosty wind  blows.

NOBODY TELLS ME

Nobody told me electricity can arc,

Or, that a dog will bite before giving a bark,

Nobody told me I could drown in deep water,

Or, boil my brains in a bath I made hotter,

Or, I should turn on my lights when I drive after dark.

PEACH TREE THROUGH THE FLOOR

My porch had a peach tree growing up through the boards,

I couldn't cut it down with my machete swords,

For the peaches were sweet,

And, I had no money to eat,

At times providence has it's own rewards.

JIM WENT TRICK-OR-TREATING ON THE 9TH OF MAY

Jim went trick-or-treating, 
On the 9th of May,
He didn't get any candy,
But, he got a 90 day jail stay,

It was not very funny,
When the neighbors called the cops,
Because Jim was dressed like a Playboy Bunny,
And, his breath just wreaked with hops,

The judge didn't care that it was all for candy,
Instead, he just slowly shook his head,
He said Jim was a real "Jim Dandy,"
And, in county lock-up he'd make his bed,

The days each passed like they were years,
And, Jim yearned for candy more and more,
But, the next time he wouldn't trick-or-treat,
Deciding, he'd just take it from a store.

SPIT-PLAY WITH FOUR

They put phlegm in my coffee so, I could not stay,

And, it gave me such great pains,
As I flushed him down the toilet with a roar.

Live this life the best you can for it's all you're going to get,

And, all the reverends who tell you different, 

Are just perverts full of shit.

THE ALIEN TOOTHACHE

By antimatter, antioxidants and antigravity,  

And, in the space-time of my brain,

I felt space alien pain,

The goober is Earth's defense by depravity.

DON'T TRUST BEARS CAUGHT BENEATH A TREE

In the bear's belly; where else would I be?

RILEY'S HIDDEN RAINBOW

Riley hid his rainbow just off his reading room,

Dreading dear dad discover thus, demanding Riley's doom,

Cased within calm closets care,

Until, the future world came, Boom!

THE NEIGHBORLY HILLS

They slashed my tires and cut the lines to my brakes,

They blew up my mailbox and in my pumpkins, drove stakes,

In my neighborhood,

Most are proud they're no good,

So, I never accept gifts of cookies or cakes.

MY HAMSTER IN SPACE

I gave a bath to my hamster one fine day,
Next day, he got revenge in his own way,
When I gave my fella a little hand stroke,
His sharp teeth gave my hand a really deep poke,

Blood spurted and spurted all over the floor,
All over the doorknob as I rushed out the door,
I grabbed my cell phone and the ambulance came quick,
Then, it was off to the hospital; the sight of blood made me sick,

Luckily, the bleeding was quickly stopped,
A single small bandage covered the vein that was popped,
After a week in the hospital I was all healed,
The little scab under the bandage was easily peeled,

At home my hamster had taken over my house,
He chased off the dog and ate my pet grouse,
He ripped up my newspapers and made a nest in my bed,
Increasing I wished that my hamster was dead,

Of course, I decided to serve up revenge that was ice cold,
I developed a plan that was clever and bold,
To this hamster I was especially nice,
I spoke in soft words and bought him toys so high priced,

Then, when the hamster thought I'd  not seek retribution,
It was time for my plan to achieve institution,
Of course sweet revenge is what I sought and I got,
For I volunteered my hamster to be a deep space astronaut.

MY WOODSTOVE HAS GONE KAPUT

It’s rusted out and backed up with soot,
There was so much smoke in the house,
All the carpeting is deloused,
And, I’m freezing from my head to my foot.

THE RED STRAWBERRY ANTS

I went and planted a strawberry jar,
Full of strawberry plants,
But, when the strawberries were sweet plump and ripe,
I found the strawberries all full of red ants,

My strawberry jar was a real disappoint,
And, so were my strawberry plants,
Now, the ants are running amok in my joint,
And, they bite me neath the cuffs of my pants.

I WISH I WAS A COWBOY

I wish I was a cowboy then, I'd ride on into town,

I'd get myself some bacon, and some flour and, ground round,

I'd sit out on a moon lit night,

And, watch the twinkling buggies bite,

Listening to the sound of the rocker-siding pound.

THE OLD MAN AND THE CAVE

There was an old man who did not like to shave,

He did not shower either so, he moved into a cave,

But, when his campfire started to smoke,

The old man started to choke,

So, he cancelled his plans for a rave. 

I ALWAYS WEAR MY COVID MASK JUST TO TICK EM OFF

Maybe we'll be friends again to celebrate Ho, Ho, Ho.

WASH AWAY MAN

I forded the river but fell in the stream,
As I washed away I let out a scream,
My scream did not bring me luck,

Still, I managed to stay pretty clean.

But, tonight I'm afraid I will pay.

THE SHALLOW HOLE OUTHOUSE

And, was pulled out with a cane fishing pole.

I WENT TO LONDON TO COOK FOR THE QUEEN

I went to London to cook for the queen,
She liked my firm grits and my crawdads were clean,
And, she said my rock bass,
Added a real touch of class,
Yet, my root-crops looked a trifle obscene.

THE PANCAKE GARDEN

I planted pancakes to see if they'd grow,

But, soon after planting it started to snow,

Then we get a big snow shower,

The frosty frost shows off it's power,

And, little petals fade and cower,

Crushed beneath the shower tower.

ODE TO THE LEPRECORN-Strange Creature Limerick

There was a creature called the leprecorn,
It was the strangest creature ever born,
A unicorn body it had,
With Leprechaun head mean and mad,
In the middle of the head was a horn.

The leprecorn liked to dance in the woods,
It guarded its gold and the rest of it's goods,
If you came to steal,
He'd give you a deal,
It was a horn in the rump for all hoods.

The leprecorn was the son of McMurry,
When the corn was born all said not to worry,
"He'd outgrow his strange look"'
"If fifty years it took",
Now it's been ninety-five what's the hurry.

And, itchy bushes hang out of your nose,

And, your skin is so dry,

Like crust on a pie,

A bubble bath will end most of your woes.

FALSE TEETH IN A JAR

To avoid damage during my fight at the bar,

And, scattered from the dance floor to the car.

From the mouth to the end of his mass.

GRANNY FIXED UP DOGS AND CATS

When the dermy didn't take the critters went wormy.

MIRACLE ON 94TH STREET

In the rain and churning sleet,

I walked and walked until I was beat,

Then, a miracle on 94th Street,

A little diner where I could eat,

It was the most uncomfortable seat,

By a window, there was no heat,

Soon, fully frozen were my feet,

Next, I froze to death with no establishment greet,

I was cremated, a nice warm treat,

They spread my ashes in a field of wheat.

As I Perch

As I sit perched in my tin, wheeled villa,

Looking down from atop my hilla,

Onto a highway all curvy derby

Along comes prancing a deer named Herbie,

I fear he's had my pickles and my dilla,

Laying waste to my garden like the Hun Attila.
