FISHING AND DYING YOUNG

It was early winter and I felt bold,

On cold water fishing I'd been sold,

Even though, it would be my death, my friends foretold,

I'd for sure be a stat of ones not dying old,

Of course, I didn't harvest fish but I caught a bad cold.

I DO MISS THE SUMMER

Today we got a hard freeze,
The cold made my nose run and sneeze,
I do miss the summer,
Cold air is a bummer,
Along with the chill in the breeze.

FALL-A LIMERICK OF DISCONTENT

I don't like fall a lot,
My garden has gone to pot,
The trees have lost every leaf,
From the cold there's no relief,
Fall means the summer is shot.

WHY PEOPLE DRIVE WITH A FLAT TIRE

Why do people drive with a flat tire?
Because they see a monster in the rear view seat,
And, if that monster looks a little bit hungry,
Then, it is the driver he will probably eat,

Driving with a flat tire,
Is not so awful or bad,
You just can’t catch up to the cute lassie,
Or, run over her dear sweetest lad,

I guess tires were invented by man,
So that these tires would not last,
So people who drive on a flat tire,
Are people still living in the past.

DAISY RAN LIMERICKS

Daisy ran the marathon really fast,
But, the candy she had for breakfast did not last,
Towards the end she was tired,
No candy made her uninspired,
Her victory dreams became a thing of the past.

Daisy ran and was inspired,
By her parents who were retired,
She beat out the men,
That some considered a sin,
But, Daisy ran faster when ired.

TERROR ALONG THE FENCELINE

It's terror along the fence line for the barbies got my cloths,

They also ripped away the skin on my thigh, my arm, my nose,

Thus, my mortal wounds have caused my falling,

Soon some saint will come a calling,

Thus, I'll end all mortal woes,

Then, comes the tagging of my toes. 

TIME TRAVEL HAIKU

Time travel, easy,
Reflect, relive, rearrange,
Time travel, mind game.

I DUG A DEEP TOILET HOLE AND NOW I'M IN DEEP TROUBLE (💩)

I dug a hole for my toilet near my garden outside,

I thought to  build over a shack for privacy pride,

But, I knew I dug deep, too far,

When I seen a moon and a star,

Forgot the earth is flat and measures just 13 feet wide.

ODE TO THE MAILMAN LIMERICK

Way down below Fahrenheit zero,
That's when the mailman becomes my hero,
Though the snow may ceaseless blow,
The mail will always go,
Astounding, for a government bureau.

 

FREE PORK FROM THE EX

Steve knew his stomach was troubled,
As it perked, gurgled and bubbled,
He ate rancid pork that was free,
From former wife named Kaylee,
Now, his bathroom trips have more than doubled.

THERE WAS A RABBIT NAMED RANDY

There was a rabbit named Randy,
He only ate Halloween candy,
He got really big,
Now he oinks like a pig,
And drowns his sorrows with brandy.

There was a rabbit named Randy,
His fur was salty and sandy,
He gained lots of weight,
So, he couldn't get a date,
It's a good thing that Randy is handy.

GRIEF FROM THE BEEF

I bought my family a big piece of beef,

Didn't know it would bring them constipation relief,

They used the stocks of toilet paper,

Painted porcelain, made bad vapor,

Clearance slimy beef is not worth the great grief.

I GOT A QUANTUM COMPUTER FOR CHRISTMAS

I got a quantum computer but, don't know what it does,

Never heard of a quantum in books or in buzz,

I've been doing just fine,

Learning Albert Einstein,

With quantum, I don't know my now from my was.

I YELLED AT MY PUPPY QUEEN, THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN

It's the day after Halloween,

And, I am feeling so unclean,

I ate so much candy, I split my spleen,

The sugar high made me mean, 

I yelled at my puppy, Queen,

The toilet bowl is now my scene,

Where I lose candy and turn grass green.

I AM PROTEIN

I went to see witches to buy magic brew,

Alas, they hit me on the head and threw me into their stew,

It wasn't so bad,

Between the potatoes and bread,

I was the protein for one meal, maybe two.

I'M A SELFIE ADDICT

I owed money on my phone,

So, I had to get a payday loan,

No money for meat, I begged for bone,

Lost the car and slept on stone,

All to send selfies to people unknown.

I FINDS ME AN EARTHWORM

I went looking for earthworms to fish in the sea,

And, me finds an earthworm measuring in feet, thirty-three,

So, I turns to run,

But, that son-of-gun,

Catches and devours me.

REVENGE OF THE GASSY GHOST

A terrible ghost is haunting my house,

It's the guy I had poisoned when he was my spouse,

So gassy is he,

Makes my eyes watery,

And, he's spoiling my Halloween dinner grouse.

THERE WAS AN OLD WITCH ON HALLOWEEN

There was an old witch on Halloween,
Her hair was black, here eyes were green,
She used her broom,
To sweep her room,
Her home was exceptionally clean.


There was an old witch on Halloween,
Her favorite colors were red and green,
No orange and no black,
Other witches fought back,
Turned the old witch into a money machine.

WHERE THE CARIBOU GREW NOT

I went hunting for caribou to put in my stew,

But, where I lived no caribou grew,

Now, there are some black bear,

Some ducks, cougars and hare,

And, barn bats, green snakes, worms and shrew.

WHEN THE FULL MOON IS UP

When the full moon is up and it's chillin',
Then, the werewolves come a killin',
From the deep darkest woods,
They be after your goods,
And, on your meat they will be a fillin'.

I DO NOT LIKE TO FREEZE, MY WOE

I do not like the rain and snow,🌧❄

I do not like off road car blow,🌬🚙

I do not like I freeze, my woe,🙊

I do not like to pay for tow,🚜

Not ready for the ho, ho, ho. 🎅

THE RAINY, RAINY, RAINY LIMERICK

My bones are all in painy,

Cause it rainy, rainy, rainy

It puts hurt into my brainy,

I'll probably go insainy,

Overeat, then weight I'll gainy.

WHERE LAY THE BONES

Snow is coming, this I fear,

My right eye pees a single tear,

I have not stored enough ginger beer,

Nor, have I scored my needs in deer,

Methinks by spring my bones lay here.

WHEN IT COMES TO MONSTERS, DON'T COUNT ON PARROTS

You never know when monsters are going to get you while you sleep,

I taught my parrot to warn me by yelling "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!"

Well, last night the monsters got me really, really bad,

They painted on me a clown face that looked so awfully sad,

And, what happened to my parrot who was supposed to go "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP,"

Apparently, he said, "to heck with this; I'm going to go to sleep."

THE BEEF POEM

Beef is a prized and expensive thing,
When a customer buys, the butcher angels sing,
And, the cash register has a louder ring,
Beef is so expensive to the billfold it's a sting,
It's even replaced gold as one's favorite kind of bling,
Beef!

I AM TWICE REVENANT YES, TWICE BACK FROM THE DEAD

I am twice revenant yes, twice back from the dead,
Back from a vast world where deep passions are fed,
Where love ala-carte,
Re-booted my heart,
Now, back in the world of the alone I must tread.

SUPERNATURAL REPUTATION BOAST

Locked doors don't keep out vengeful ghosts,

Or the deities that hate me most,

But, their disdain I bear,

I show that I do not scare,

Such haters is my reputations' best boast.

MY GOLDFISH IS A GOOD PET, NOT!

My goldfish is a nincompoop because poop is all he does,

Except he'll swim to the top of his bowel to eat a piece of fuzz,

I wish for a better pet than he,

For he does not comfort me,

He has no fluffy fur, he cannot pur or, love me just because.

I

BIG FOOTS ATE UP ALL THE BEARS

In Michigan it gives me scares,
Here big foots ate up all the bears,
Now will the big foots come for me,
I'm really tender and I think tasty,

Oh big foot, big foot in the night,
Go away, don't cause me fright,
Now that all the bears are gone,
You keep me awake from dusk till dawn,

Oh mighty big foot please go away,
Birds taste a lot better anyway,
Try eating rabbit or maybe deer,
I taste like veggies and smell like beer.

OCTOBER FULL MOON

The October full moon gives Sam a shaking scare,

Sam fears a monster or zombie, instead of just a mean bear,

Sam can't go to sleep,

When Sam's heart races, beep beep,

And, urine-sweat has wet down Sam's long hair.

I'M COMING UNHINGED AS I WALK WITH THE DEAD

Sometimes I'm feeling so cold,

And, up my legs is creeping green mold,

I'm not living they said,

Because I walk with the dead,

Eating the flesh of the young and the old,

So, how did I get in this place?

I got bit by my friend, Robert Ace,

Then, the infection got bad,

Soon I died, it's so sad,

I tried to sue but, no one took my case,

I won't wander for an eternity,

Because my flesh, it rots off of me,

After I've human flesh binged,

My bones will become all unhinged,

And, their nutrients will feed some old tree.

THE AFTERLIFE LIMERICK

Into the dirt or the fires in death we remorse,
To the worms or the ashes, what is our recourse,
Either a worm feces we become,
Or, an old tin urn we pour from,  
Finally, we return to the piles of our source.

CREAM SODA MOON PIES HAIKU

Cream soda, moon pies,
Nutritional? Summer snack,
Lazy days and me.

BIFF THE SNOWMAN WAS KIND OF NUTS

Biff the snowman was kind of nuts they say,
He’d bug people and wouldn’t go away,
If he saw you were busy,
He’d talk you into a big tizzy,
I can hardly wait until it warms up in May.

FIREWOOD, WHAT A STEAL

I found some firewood,

It was in a condition that was good,

So, I loaded what I could,

Ate lunch; an orange and pud,

Then drove back to my own hood.

STRAWBERRY-PIE PLANT PIE

Deep, delicious radiant treat.

My strawberry-rhubarb pie,

Without its luster before my table seat,

I would  crash and die,

Strawberry-rhubarb pie my friends,

Strawberry-rhubarb pie,

The gods created flavors of other things,

 And, I ask the gods "just exactly why,"

Strawberry-rhubarb pie has the absolute taste,

And, no other flavors can remotely compare,

Why waste hours combining various bakery paste,

When, pie-plant and strawberries are the true baker's ware. 

I'M PAYING BILLS ONLINE LIMERICK

Online bill paying has brought me great terror,
For my screen keeps flashing a red "error,"
My bills are all due,
At midnight I'm through,
Late fee e-mails are a real bad news bearer. 

FISH PUDDING PIE

For dessert I made fish pudding pie,
It was so bad that it made everyone die,
Then, when we all met on the other side,
My diners didn't let my cooking slide,
And, walked away without saying goodbye.

I IMAGINE A SUNDAY DINNER

It was a spectacular meal,

Especially good was the veal,

The potatoes were so tender,

My taste buds had to surrender,

Extra cake, I just had to steal.

SNOOKEY THE SHARK LIVES IN GRAND TRAVERSE BAY

Snookey the Shark lives in Grand Traverse Bay,

His wrong notes just made sad sad,
So, beat the drums,
Drown those banjo hums,
And, all humanity will be thankee-glad.

They caused itching and gave Johnny the squirms,

He drank hot sauce for medication,

Destroyed the worm confederation,

Johnny's cured, his not itching confirms.

THE POLTERGEIST PIGS

My pigs became poltergeist haunting critters,
They were all determined to give me the jitters,
Because ham and bacon yesterday,
Was their fate for my pay,
But, their haunting I'll shake off with some bitters.

 

ALL I LEARNED FROM SCHOOL AND LIFE

I went to school for many years and did not see no gains,

For all the teachers did to me was wrap my head up with tight chains,

Then, my bosses yanked those chains so hard, they squished up all my brains,

The only thing I feel right now are constant headache pains,

So, society retired me early to a place with more insanes.

I begged that chipmunk but, he wouldn't stay,
So, it's off to the backyard,
To catch some critter off its guard,
Maybe, I'll dig for some worms in the clay.

TOILET TANK TABLETS ARE NOT FOR AQUARIUMS

I dropped one into my aquarium and it sank,

But, you know what was weird,

When the aquarium water was cleared,

My fish all played dead for a prank.

Beside the lake with the wild flowers,
I laid down and dreamed for hours,
Then along came the bees,
They had no mood for a tease,
I'm depending on my recuperative powers.

BRAIN EATING ZOMBIE SQUIRREL

My mind is in a complete whirl,
I was attacked by a brain eating zombie squirrel,
He jumped on my head,
Soon I was dead,
If I eat anything but brains I will hurrell.

A GHOST NAMED BOO

There once was a ghost they called Boo.
His eyes, hair and teeth were all blue,
He bleached himself white,
The bleach burned day and night,
So, it made the ghost go boohoo.

A ghost named Boo would haunt and scare,
Everyone he tried to terror,
He went out of the house,
To frighten a mouse,
But, was frightened himself by a bear.

No one knows because he is sly,
He stays leader of the pack,
But, when the bears attack,
He doesn't see them, so all wolves die.

They’ll nibble your toes off if you get in their way,
They prefer to eat perch,
Roasted over aged birch,
After an appetizer of the finest pâté.

The sight of your spine will make frog monsters attack,
They bite with no fear,
Making your eyes really tear,
They won’t break the skin but, will leave your skin blue and black.

They’ll pull out the hairs on your chin as you swim,
Splashing does not drive frog monsters away,
They will leave you alone only on their own whim.

MY BIRTHDAY

Today is my birthday and I'm 104,🎂🍸

I often take naps in the line at the store,🏬

I forget where my chair is and just fall on the floor,🐀🐁

The mail I can't read so, my bills I ignore,📭
