I CHOOSE WELL; MY PIZZA TOPPINGS

On my pizza, what added a tease?

It was pepperoni and the bubbled up cheese,

It was not much of a mystery,

That soon my pizza was history,

For my toppings were chosen to please. 

THE WISEST FLY ON THE PIE

The wisest fly on the pie,
Knew to vacate after the flies caught my eye,
And, as the wisest fly flew away,
The others breathed my bug spray,
Just one fly left and he's faster than I.

FRANK AND POLKA DOT THE FROG

Frank saw a frog with polka dots,
He picked it up and then got spots,
He went to doctors for some reports,
But every doctor said that Frank had warts,
For Frank had been drinking just too much grog,
He couldn't tell a warty toad from a green horny frog.

I DROVE A PARTICLE ACCELERATOR

The car ahead of me went so slow I had to pass,

So, I became a particle accelerator and, put my foot down on the gas,

And, boy did I fly,

At light speed I passed by,

I came to a stop:  I collided with a tanker and split my mass.

Now, every quark in my body hurts.🤕

THE DEMON DAZE SPECIAL

A PARACHUTE NOT PROPERLY WIRED

When his airplane engine expired,

Duke the aviator quickly retired,

He took a nosedive,

One he did not survive,

Seems his parachute was not properly wired.

LITTLE CHICKEN IN MY BACKYARD PARK

Little chicken in my backyard park,
You escaped from farmer with the dark,
You eat bugs and seeds in my petunia bed,
You could be chicken nuggets covered with bread,

Little chicken in my backyard park,
Pecking bugs from the red pine bark,
I hope your foods are really nutritious,
For I think chicken is quite delicious.

There is nothing good,

Just tin, plastic and wood,

And there's still lots of nasty beets.

MY PET GROUNDHOG

My pet groundhog does not feel well,

He slipped on the ice and down he fell,

So, I put him to bed,

After being well fed,

Then he had bad dreams and awoke with a yell.

DIM TROLL SPITS

There was a troll who trolled on Twitter,

He lost an election and became real bitter,

His only employment was house sitter,

Couldn't get hired, for he's a dimwiter,

Went to jail, as a sidewalk spitter.

PARASITES UNITED

Parasites United were living in my curly hair,

They ate up every single root, until my head was bear,

Although they done me wrong,

I regaled them with a song,

Then they infested my roommate's unpleasant underwear.

TING ME A SONG WITH YOUR TONG, JEFFY

He tings his songs

With copper tongs,

And that is just his thing.

THE ELF EATERS RHYME

There was a little elf,

His name was Sammy Sam,

Whenever he got hungry,

He ate a sandwich of cheese and ham,

There was a little elf,

His name was Billy Bill,

He ate only oatmeal cookies,

Upon the window sill,

There was a little elf,

Her name was Doreen Door,

She didn't care where or what she ate,

As long as there was more.

THE LAKE MICHIGAN SERPANT NAMED SAM

In Lake Michigan there was a serpent named Sam,
He swimed, he swum and, he swam,
He swam up a river,
To make Salmon quiver,
But, his tail got caught in a Damn.

Sam likes to sink really small vessels,
But with bigger boats Sam wrestles,
If he has not the muscle,
He'll lose out in the tussle,
He then swims to his cave where he nestles.

FUZZY WAZZY HAD HICCUPS (A NURSERY RHYME REVISITED)

Was Fuzzy Wazzy a real bear?

Or was he just someone, not quite all there,

He was weird and vicious, gave kids a scare,

He'd sit for hours, with that goofy stare,

Finally, they placed him in tender care,

Where he died from hiccups, it was balls of hair,

AMADEUS THE SKUNK LEFT HIS SCENT IN THE AIR LIMERICK

Amadeus the skunk left his scent in the air,
Everyone disliked it, but he seemed not to care,
One day while all alone,
Amadeus began to moan,
He opined for friends that just were not there.

WE DON'T NEED LOCKS ON MARS

On Mars our pudding is full of rocks,

We have no mealtimes for we have no clocks,

We have no open water and no boat docks,

We have no birds so, we don't have flocks,

We have no companies so we don't trade stocks,

We have cold feet because we can't make socks,

We have no education except the school of hard knocks,

Our entire culture the universe mocks,

But, we have nothing to steal so we don't need locks. 

BUSTER THE BANJO PLAYER POEM

Buster was a banjo player,
He played the banjo well,
But, the only song in his repertoire,
Was the Overture to William Tell,

Buster could not read or write,
He didn't know one note from another,
He only learned to play William Tell,
From the whistling of his mother,

Buster tried to learn new songs,
He tried leaning them by ear,
But, when he tried to play the songs,
His audience would sob, "Oh Dear!"

Buster became so frustrated,
He decided not to play,
He figured music was overrated,
So, he sits and dreams all day.

Offering nude body sleaze,

And, tell fibs about voting at polls.

I knew he was living there, because I could smell his soup,

Every single day,

He'd steal my packages away,

Even my lawn mower, and my retro hula hoop.

MY TEAM LOST ME A QUARTER, QUACK, QUACK

It's Monday morning and my football team sucks,

I hate the digs from my coworker ducks,

They all quackity quack,

I got none to give back,

At least I bet in just quarters, not bucks.

AT THE OFFICE

Monday while the office coffee perks,

You realise there's five full days to work with jerks,

And, it's no surprise,

They'll spread evil lies,

About your poor choices and quirks.

BAD FRANKIE, BAD

And the pedestrian Frankie put in a full body cast.

Then you be squirting out red.

FLOTILLA PONTOONED

It's name was Flotilla, and that was my boat,

Then way out on the bay,

It sank to the fish bones and clay,

That was the very last thing I wrote.

I TOOK MY DINGY TO NORTHPORT

I took my dingy to Northport to fish for the day,
But,a big speed boat was right in the way,

As they poured Champaign in their glass,
They then swamped me as they sped away.

MY SPACECRAFT RAN INTO A STAR

My Spacecraft by L. Brandt

My spacecraft ran into a star,
Now, my spacecraft will not go,
And, I did not pay my insurance bill,
So, I cannot get a tow,

I'm now stranded way out in deep space,
My oxygen is running low,
No one answers calls to my place,
And, I can't reach my good friend Joe,

I'd like to order pizza,
But, there's limits on my doe,
Alone and hungry in deep space,
There are no limits on my woe. 

BAD DENTIST

I grabbed pliers to fix the tooth that hurt,

It broke and the gum gave a blood squirt,

So I got some health administration,

From an ER vacation,

Well, it's better than napping in dirt.

THE TONE OF THE TOOTER

My tooter tooted a terrible tone,
The audience responded by giving my tooter the stone,
They showed what they meant,
With every stone made deep dent,
My tooter's tone I'm needing to hone.

I SHOULD HAVE ON EARTH

It was a big mistake for me to move to mars,

The air is  no good, and all they have are solar cars,

Fresh veggies won't keep,

The rent is not cheap,

And most residents are from faraway stars.

THE FOUR ALARM FARM FIRE

In the general vicinity of the farm,

A fire broke out, four alarm,

The potatoes got baked,

The corn stalks were coal caked,

But, the livestock suffered no harm.

NOT TO SEE FAR OR NEAR AND DRIVE OFF THE PIER

Dennis the driver couldn't see far or near,
Dennis the driver drove his truck off the pier,
Dennis did find his way,
To the bottom of the bay,
Now, his bones sit at the wheel, where they steer.   

SINISTER SPIDERS ON MY WINDOWSILL

Some sinister spiders sit on my sill,
They think web-weaving is the ultimate thrill,
But, I'll give them some news,
Be careful what choose,
Or, be squished spider-spleen on the grill.  Yum, Yum!

I SAW A SMALL BIRD EATING A SALAD

I saw a small bird eating a salad,
But, his condiments didn't seem to be valid,
It was a wine mixed with beer,
Final results I did fear,
The little bird started tweeting a ballad.
 

PETUNIAS ON EARTH

I journeyed far beyond the planets of Sol,

To find some petunias to pot was my goal,

I found some pretty, bright red,

On a planet called, Fred,

But they like to grow tall on a pole.

CAN ONLY WAIT SO LONG, MOON

I was on a great sand dune,

Waiting for the rise of moon,

Waited there all afternoon,

Ate a cookie, macaroon,

Need a toilet, please rise soon.

Then he snots upon his arm,

The girls all say,

"Frankie keep away,

Your snot might do us harm."

WOE TO THE PROTECTOR OF SHRUBBERY

I got some chicken wire,

To protect my little shrub,

For there is this rabbit,

Who sees my shrub as grub,

Then I waited with a pail,

For the rabbit I would assail,

And I'd catch him nose to tail,

Then I'd have rabbit stew and ale,

But the rabbit never showed,

To another shrub, he goed,

Then he moved into my abode,

Locked me out, so then I woed.

A wild pig chased me through the woods,
He wanted to eat my veggie canned goods,
When he was a few feet away,
I gave in to him that day,
Wild pigs are nothing but hoods.

THE HIGH PRICE OF PANCAKES

For five-hundred dollars I bought a pancake making machine,

I used the money I got from selling my precious spleen,

But, it required special flour shipped from Sydney,

So, I had to sell my favorite kidney,

And, give up the knighthood I received from the queen.

GENIUS EQUIVALENT TO A STROKE

My nest egg is just a big joke,

I have an eggshell but, not the white nor the yoke,

I bought and I sold,

Many investment ideas that I was told,

Were the equivalence of some genius stroke.

I CAUGHT THE ITCH AT THE GROCERY STORE

I searched for a great bargain price,

On cereal that was a poofed kind of rice,

I found nothing cheap,

So I stormed home in my jeep,

Scratching my hairs that incubated head lice.

MY LAST STOP, THE HOBBY SHOP (I shopped till I was dropped dead)

I have a hobby,

So I went to a Lobby,

The store clerks were snobby

At the checkout, I got robby,

I became very sobby,

They called in a bobby,

He cracked me on the knobby,

Then said that was his jobby,

 Cause he served the Lobby, 

And out oozed my brains.

SANTA PICKS HIS TEETH LIMERICK

Santa ran out of fish bones and he couldn't pick his teeth,

Which made the pine needles brittle,
And, they wouldn't dig out the food underneath.

It eats the bird, it eats the beast,

It eats the critter that smells the least,

It eats the bugs, it eats the dragon,

It eats vehicles called Volkswagen,

Upon them all my goat do feast.

FISHING DARK AND DEEP

I went fishing on a lake dark and deep,

Then through the floor water started to seep,

I didn't have a pail,

So I really  couldn't bail,

I sank calmly without even a peep. 

THE SEEDS OF WEEDS

The seeds of weeds have taken their toll,

They've seeded the great hills and the big valley bowl,

Of course, now the lawns are all weedy,

Because the weed descendants are greedy,

Now, finding grass is finding diamonds in coal.

I HAVE A ROOMMATE WHO DOES NOT LIKE TO FLUSH

I have a roommate who does not like to flush,
It makes me sick when my teeth I must brush,
I hope and I pray,
He moves out one day,
If he doesn't I'll become a lush.

OLD FASHIONED YARD JARTS WITH THE LONG, POINTY SPEAR

I went to the third moon of OOh-OOh to play professional yard jarts,

It's played at nightfall, at least that's when the tournament starts,

Each jart has a fifteen foot spear,

Sharp enough to take down a big deer,

During tournament, you'd best look out for your parts. 

THE MUM SUM LIMERICK

There was this person, a mum,

She had troubles doing a subtraction or sum,

She counted her kids more than thrice,

Made 6 Bowles of beans &  fried rice,

The kids she missed summing, got gum.

With all the bank fees,

Even on savings they charge me for rent.

YIPPEE, KY, YEH IN SPACE

I boarded my spacecraft with my dog Yippee who, eats pie, 

Then right behind us were my doggies Yeh and Ky,

We all flew away,

Towards the stars and the wonders in the sky. 

RIPTIDE HAIKU

Swimming in big lake,
Riptide pulls me out, can’t swim,
Drowning in big lake.

Fuel for my lighter that flash burns butane,

So I tried a fuel that was clean,

It was high octane gasoline,

I now live in an asylum for the  insane.

ELFIN 👹

Whimper, whimper in the night,

I'm whimpering because of fright,

There are beastly elves,

Sitting on my shelves,

I'm on their menu, tonight.😱
