ROY WAS A COY, TOY, SOY EATING BOY

There once was a boy,

His mama called him Roy,

He only had his toy,

He ate only beans called soy,

Never loved cause he was coy.

DISAGREEMENTS INEVITABLE

They might be a complete stranger,

They might be your kith and your kin,

The only one that thinks just like you do,

Is the person that's wearing your skin.

THE TWO LITTLE SILOS SAGA, IN LIMERICK FORM

There were two little silos, sitting as neighbors in a field,

When one silo overflowed, the other would absorb the yield,

Then one day one caught fire,

It burned like an old truck tire,

Now there's only one silo, and he got scorched real bad and peeled.

MY WORM BAIT LIMERICK

I thought I'd go fishing so, I picked up some worms,

I thought I'd catch keepers on my living bait terms,

But, the big fish weren't hard hitting,

My worms they were spitting,

I caught just minnows instead of large pachyderms.

I GAVE MY GOLDFISH FOOD LIMERICK

I gave my goldfish a dash of fish food,
But, I didn't measure it, so guess what dude?
Although my goldfish is fed,
He is all puffy and dead,
And a toilet funeral seems awfully rude.

KALKASKA: THE WOLFMAN'S LAIR

Kalkaska is the Wolfman's lair,

For he feasts on deer, bobcat and bear,

He eats fishermen who are very plump,

Also, hunters who have a fat, tender pump,

But, hikers he just likes to scare.

WHY I LOST MY APPETITE FOR A CHRISTMAS GOOSE

Christmas is coming, and I didn't know where the goose was at,

Turns out it had a lover, and the lover was a bat,

Now the babies fly around, the gats and bease,

Honking, hissing, leaving me little peace,

I think for Christmas dinner, we'll eat my kid's pet big white rat.

Rainbow In The Trees (Birdies and Rainbows)

I admire a pretty rainbow, sitting in the trees,

It's a pretty rainbow, pretty as you please,

And, a birdie lands to admire the rainbow, sitting in the trees,

Then, the birdie squats a little then, the birdie pees,

So the rainbow is embarrassed and the rainbow quickly flees.

TWO BIRDS FOUGHT OVER THE SAME NEST

Two birds fought over the same nest,
One was a sparrow; the other a robin red breast,
The sparrow was short and relatively small,
The robin big and by comparison tall,
The sparrow retreated because he thought it was best.

DEER, JAIL AND, MUSHROONS

I shot a deer that was too small,
But, the arresting officer, he stood tall,
Now, after six months in jail,
I'll get out my mushroom pail,
And, search for the elusive puffball.

THE QUILLS AND THRILLS OF JASON JOHN JR.

Gave a rhino a scare,
One touch and any beast runs for the hills. 

BAD NEIGHBORS

Someone stole my garden tools,

Methinks the culprits are my neighbor fools,

And, my outdoor chairs,

They've claimed them as theirs,

No one follows the good neighbor rules.

I'M NOT A REAL POET

"Things fall apart," the poet Yeats would divine,

When order turns to chaos, all poets for order pine,

That's why I'm not a poet,

I think anarchy is fine,

I do not talk of hunter birds,

With the rhyming of my words,

And,  I'll end up at Hades gate, 

Churned by worms, I'll fatten bait.

I SHOULD CHARGE ADMISSION, TO MY BEARD

I have a zoo living in my beard,

Animals both common, and also very weird,

There's a howl, a chirp and bark,

Roars like a Jurassic Park,

And there are the smells, which are nastier than what I heard.

MY NEIGHBOR'S CHICKEN OH GOOD GRIEF LIMERICK

GRANDMA AND THE FOUR BEARS

BONES UNDER STONES

I went out digging under a pile of stones,

And there I found some humanoid bones,

I was feeling kinda sad,

Something went stellar bad,

There was a long knife with brown, rusty tones,

I went back to my shack to swallow some beer,

To quell my shakes and pervert my fear,

There was a knock at the door,

It was that fella from the store,

He held a knife and I said, "oh dear",

He said he was a fulltime pickle diller, 

And a weekend serial killer,

Now I'm under the stones,

With those other old bones,

Giving worms a protein belly filler.

There was a king,

They called Bing Bing,

And here's the thing,

Shaped like a diamond ring,

To the past, he did cling,

Hence, he was right-right-wing,

GOLD STAR DIRT, EXCEPT FOR BURT

Maybe that's true, except for my cousin, Burt,

For what within he has got,

Mostly resembles green snot,

And Burt's ex says Bert is a pervert.

REMEDY ROOMS

Todd had mushrooms growing on his ceiling,

Todd's mother asked what was Todd dealing,

She thought the mushrooms were worth stealing,

She hoped with muskrat, they'd taste appealing,

And give her ulcer some wood witch healing.

TODD LOST HIS BASE

Todd looked all over the place,

But his feet couldn't find third base,

Todd was tagged out and became a disgrace,

No one would look him in the face,

Except Jean, who gave Todd bear mace,

Todd moved away to another place,

Where Todd just watched the ponies race,

And no one got on his case.

THE BOY AND THE FISH

Where are all the little fish,

I use to see here all the time,

When I waded out past the lily pads,

And, the gross, green frog egg slime,

It's such a trudge out into the lake,

With a cane poll in one hand,

In the other hand I hold a sack of worms,

Sealed with mama's rubber band,

 Now, I cast around my cane poll,

On the end is a hook with a piece of worm,

I let the hook and worm sink down,

Waiting for the line to start to squirm,

Back in school I am no athlete,

Nor, no great brain in second grade,

But, out here I'm a genius Olympian,

Because, I know where and how to wade,

I move slowly leaving a grazing wake,

Then, stop  still at the edge of a deep drop,

Thinking, the time I take is the time I take,

That was taught me by my late pop,

I pull back my cane poll and back flies the hook,

The line drops behind me several feet,

Whipping the poll makes line and bait fly,

The bait plops now, the setup is complete,

In just a moment my lines runs out further, really tight,

Then, slacks-off as it comes toward me,

It turns again, now it's a fight,

It is a big one, I can see,

I see it is a great big bass,

It leaps and fights to be free,

But, he's hooked good, he's going nowhere,

except to supper for mom and me,

I had no net to land the big fish,

So, I backed up pulling him toward the shore,

Working him through the lily pads,

Was a relentless, unplanned chore,

Since it was pan-fish I catch near those lily pads,

The bass must of scared them off this day,

Of course, the big fish is better for dinner,

Because, they're boneless and easy to fillet,

 

I've got the fish out of the water,

I'm pulling him far up on the land,

It don't matter now if the hook pops out when he flops,

He'll just flip and flop in the sand,

 

 

 

I STAYED UP WITH FREDDY

I went out to see the super full moon,

I watched it with Freddy, he's a raccoon,

But uncommonly thick,

Was the blood sucking tick,

And you had to dig the critters out with a spoon.

ALIEN DINNER DATE

They had no arms, but had kick-ass feet,

Out of Omicron eel,

With rolls made from Omicron wheat.

PORCH PIRATE HIDE AND SEEK

I spied a pirate on my porch, and he was a sneak,

Before he grabbed my package, he took a gallon leak,

It was the pirate's fate,

The package had great weight,

The pirate could not run fast, and will play justice hide and seek.

PORCH PIRATES ARE REAL, AND THEY KNOW HOW TO STEAL

I caught a porch pirate stealing and he laughed and said, "Aye, Aye,"

Then he grabbed all my packages, and ran saying, "Bye, Bye,"

Then he got into his car,

Drove off to lands distant and far,

I then told all the family, and they went "Cry, Cry."

THE POISONOUS MUSHROOM DIRGE

Poisonous Mushrooms,
Take, bake, intake, forsake,
Bellyache, quake, wake.

SHOES, SOCKS AND STOCKS

I do not have two shoes that fit,

Nor, even matching socks,

For I lost all my money,

When, I put it all in stocks,

My broker told me to buy this and that,

And, blindly I obeyed,

As he became commission fat,

My wallet became thinner as I paid,

Soon, I had no money,

Alas, I even lost my house,

I had to give up my dog Sonny,

When, divorced became my spouse,

  

Now, at least my broker is doing well,

He invested in real estate,

He bought an upscale hotel,

Now, on easy street he'll skate.  

THE LOG IN MY COFFEE

In my cup of coffee I spotted a log,
When I examined it closer I saw a big polliwog,
Then, he said to me,
"I don't like coffee; make tea,"
So, I tossed the ingrate to my hungry dog.

LIL Limerick

I'VE BEEN VANISHED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA, WHO CARES

So, I'll go on to live on the rough.

In my country that is the norm,

WRONG BAKED BREAD

The bread could be a perch for a bird with a song. 

THE HANSEL AND GRETEL HOODS TALE

PARTYING WITH THE SUPERNATURALS
