DONNY'S STICKY FINGERS

Donny's fingers were all sticky,

Because he made cookie dough and did a finger licky

Of course he's a gross dude,

And at best, he's called crude,

His kin should give him a !little butt kicky.

ELVES

Some elves live underneath my street,

They came and ate my parakeet,

She was nice and she was sweet,

I miss her melodic tweet,

I never thought of her, as meat.

TOM ATE HONEY UNTIL HE SMELLED LIKE A BEE

Which attracted the bears from every county,
Tom feared a bad beaten,
But instead he was eaten,
By a bear who had just ate a Mountie.

MY FRIEND CHARTREUSE

Best chance is if you're fast and you're slim.

CONES AND BONES

I sat on top of a tombstone,
While licking my ice cream cone,
The cone came from a odd host,
It was the graveyard's  top ghost,
And, in the cone was his own finger bone.

THE RUBBER DUCK FESTIVAL IN BELLAIRE

The festival of the rubber ducks,

It's not for the gobbles or the cluck, clucks,

It's just for quackers,

Down pillow packers,

On the menu, roast quackers, lacking lucks.

WHAT'S IN A NOSE

There was a little guinea pig, and he always picked his nose,

Then one day he found out, just what up his nose could grows,

A pickle, squash and okra, and a big tomato vine,

A hot Hungarian pepper, and a bottle of red wine,

The guinea was inspired, so he set his nose to prose.

BENNY HAD A BIG RED NOSE LIMERICKS

Benny had a really big red nose,
His nostrils were like petals on a rose,
His drinking was fair,

So, his skin was red from his head to his toes.

Benny had a big red nose,
He looked patriotic with blue and white cloths,
Benny was not really bright,
But, his nose was such a sight,
He became rich and that's how life goes.

It gave all girls quite the rush,
Both the beautiful and the scary,
Wanted Benny to marry,
Eventhough, Benny did not like to flush.

Crusties in my tummy,

And I save on garbage sacks.

Photons, photons from the sky,

You can make me pretty or make me cry,

The SPF was rated by an inspector,

I'm not sure just what went wrong,

Some say I sat out in the sun and stayed there just too long.

I CHOOSE WELL; MY PIZZA TOPPINGS

That soon my pizza was history,

For my toppings were chosen to please.

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,

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.🤕

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

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.

After being well fed,

Then he had bad dreams and awoke with a yell.

Went to jail, as a sidewalk spitter.

With copper tongs,

And that is just his thing.

His name was Sammy Sam,

Whenever he got hungry,

He ate a sandwich of cheese and ham,

There was a little elf,

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

Everyone disliked it, but he seemed not to care,

He opined for friends that just were not there.

1022

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.

Who have nefarious goals,

Many come from overseas,

Offering nude body sleaze,

And, tell fibs about voting at polls.

FEE-FI-FO-FOOP, I SMELL PORCH PIRATE SOUP

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,
I asked if I could pass,
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.

Frankie thought he was a charm,

Then he snots upon his arm,

"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.
