NO STRINGS ATTACHED

My kite is flying high in the sky,

How it's there?  I don't know why,

It ain't no joke,

My kite cord broke,

Near a year ago, this Fourth of July.

CREMATION: IT'S NOT JUST FOR POOR GRANDPAS ANYMORE

When my birdie died there was a health concern,

So his remains, I was ordered to "quick, burn",

He went into the fire of no return,

Except for ashes in an urn,

Now he sits upon my mantle, next door to grandpa Vern.

BIRD FLU

I eat mostly the legs off chicken,

I eat down to the bones, where I find slim pickin,

I drink applesauce,

Till I'm sick and toss,

Bird and fruit cause my belly to sicken.

WARNING! U-235 IS NOT FOR WOODSTOVES

I knew my old woodstove would need fuel, if I were to survive,

So I stole fuel from the nuke plant where I work, some uranium--235,

As I was getting very sick,

I threw it in my woodstove, quick

When my eyeballs both leaked out, I knew I was likely not alive.

FELT BAD, FELT BETTER, FELT WORSE

My rent had fallen into arrears,

My landlord chastised me into tears,

I drank a cold pop,

And played some hip-hop,

Then got evicted, and thrown out on my ears.

I'm Staying At The "Jailhouse Hotel" On Memorial Day Weekend

I drove up north really fast,

So my time at my vacay would last,

I rolled the car while speeding,

My bod starting bleeding,

Now, I'm sitting in jail with a cast.

A MARRIAGE, A BUSINESS AND HEAVES

For his unlucky spouse,

HOE, HOE, HOE AND MAKE MY TUBERS GROW

My little potato plant would not grow,

I asked it why? It did not know,

When under it, I dug,

I found the tubers, snug,

I un-snugged the tubers with my garden hoe.

I GOT A LICKEN, WHEN TEXAS BANNED CHICKEN

A law was just passed saying you could no longer eat chicken,

If you were caught eating bird you'd get a public licken,

A punishment of pain,

Affects one's brain,

Then the smell of cooked bird makes you sicken.

PETS EAT THE DARNDEST THINGS

I bought some worm castings to mix into my soil,

So I could grow tulips without the hard toil,

But my doggie Ruff Ruff,

Ate my worm castings stuff,

Now his belly is swelly, and it gurgle and boil.

IF YOU HAVE A NO DRAIN, IT COULD BE LETHAL

I planted my tomatoes in an old tin pot,

The pot had no drain, so they got the root rot,

My tomato plants went dead,

Cautionary tale, tis said,

Drill some holes in the bottom, dot, dot dot.

THE LITTLE CRAWDAD IS ME

The Little Crawdad, that is me,

I swim with the fish in the sea,

When my day is done,

I catch myself one,

So I can have a kipper with tea.

GRANDMA WANTED THE BOTTLE, NOT TWO FINGERS

Grandma was upset to see an apple worm in her apple juice,

I two fingered out the worm so grandma would drink, that I deduce,

I was out of luck this day,

My dirty fingers, that's all I'll say,

Grandma switched to apple brandy, and became a silly, giddy, goose.

THE DIET AND DEFIBRUILLLATOR BLUES

They used the defibrillator, to start Benny's heart back up,

Although he almost died,

Old Benny had his pride,

He brags about eating greasy chips, while watching TV with his pup.

BLIND TO WHAT LIES AHEAD

The fog was so thick, it blinded my eyes,

On the road ahead, I did not know what lies,

Well, it was a bear,

A grizzly affair,

The bear pulled me from the wreck, ate me, so I dies.

I GAVE AWAY SALLY AT HER MARRIAGE TO BETH

Thanks to a minister, all knew him as Seth.

THE BRAIN CELL KILLER

Jim cannot tell a tomato from a potato, anymore,

Those brain cells must have died, when he walked into that door,

All the vodka, flavored cherry

Made his head and guts as well, a very achy soar.

THE UPHILL HEART THROMBOSIS

I needed to go to market to get me some dill,

All would be fine, but the market is up the hill,

That's where my car will not go,

Uphill; geared in high, or in low,

I got consternation; had to take a heart pill.

YOU EITHER FISH FOR SUPPER OR WITH SUPPER

My fishing rig,

A plastic worm on a jig,

Caught a fish,

Don't I wish,

Super is a plastic worm and a cig.

I SLEEP ALONE, BUT ED IS BY MY BED

I had a little bitty skunk, his name was Uncle Ed,

He stunk up the house, the barn, and even my red sled.

My mate complained about the smell,

On day, left without the normal yell,

Now Uncle Ed sleeps inside, at the foot of my big bed.

HAVOC WITH THE LITTLE SPLEEN

My tomatoes turned from pink to a tan-green,

I should not of coated them with my sunscreen,

But, in the sun they got hot,

Boiled dry, without a pot,

And, dried tomatoes raise havoc, with my little spleen.

WHEN I WAS A KID

When I was a kid, I was a nerd, not a fool,

I started chess club at my elementary school,

I was always the spelling champ,

My tests got only the "A" stamp,

Then I woke from my dream, when I fell off the bar stool.

I am the Red Dragon and I like to roar,

I got to eat people, nothing good at the store,

But it made me sneeze,

It's tasty people flesh, I adore.

Ed didn't know there were so many peasants, until Ed took a leak,

They also had runny blisters, but care they lacked the funds to seek.

CRACKING PORCELAIN

MY SPECIAL FATHER'S DAY GIFT

I got thumb screws for Father's Day, and I don't have any kids,

To stay afloat we did a crime,

Might go to jail, and do some time,

We spend our days waiting for the cops, at downtown bar, called "Sids".

RATS MADE MY TOILET ACCESSIBLE ANYTIME.

The filth in my house gives my house an A+ rat rating,

That's why I'm left home alone, with my family vacating,

With the rats I'll share,

My food pantry laid bare,

A win, win, for now I'll have the bathroom without waiting.

My wagon is sagging,

Dragon tail is rear dragging,

I'm a cursed little pagan.

MONSTERS HAVE MAMAS TOO (HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!)

Zombies celebrate Mother's Day in the afternoon,

Werewolves only celebrate, if there be a full moon,

Vampires celebrate after dark,

Then mama's kiss leaves a neck mark,

They all play creepy music, like some Bachy organ tune.

A THIEF STOLE A BENNY, FROM A PEASANT WHO WAS POOR

I use to know a little peasant, he was really, really poor,

I'd toss him a penny, if he promised not to ask for more,

Well, he saved every penny,

Till he got a bill, a Benny,

Then someone stole the Benny to buy liquor at the store.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SATURDAY?

Some weekends I lose my Saturday, like it's zero seconds long,

Sometimes I go out Friday night, and things just go real wrong,

It starts off with the dancing,

Jerky movements, and some prancing,

Then I wakeup Sunday morning, as the church bell go ding dong.

TO ALL THE MOMS ON MOM'S DAY

I wish all moms on mom's day,
Happy thoughts all the way,
And, after each evening storm,
To wake up warm,
Like sunshine on the bay.

I LOST MONEY BETTING ON HORSES, NOW I SERVE THEM AT MY PLACE OF EATS

I cook delicious food while listening to music in c minor,

I use to listen to D Major,

Bet on horseys, lost big wager,

I changed my music and my job, because my mate was a major whiner.

MABEL NEEDED MINTS

Mabel had no Listerine,

With poor hygiene care,

A smell so strong, some say it was seen.

I had a cow named Betty Goose,

She became with calf every time she got loose,

Of course the babies I'd steal,

To make myself veal,

Marinated in cranberry juice.

His investors went broke, because they weren't wise.

A BIG SQUIRRELY DECISION

I decided I was going out in the woods to hunt squirrel,

But the squirrel was big and mean,

Ten foot tall, maybe 15,

We runs back to my old shack,  so we could hide and curl.

TIME TRAVEL DREAMER

My spaceship travels faster than light,

That means time travel, and it's a delight,

Maybe some ancient Greece,

Might give me some peace,

And new pyramids might be a delight.

Mabel had no Maybelline,

Even though, she had washed up clean,

With her friend Loren,

They went out to buy corn,

Couldn't buy steaks; their funds were lean.

Picked what berries he coulds,

He ate all the berries, and his skin got all dotty. 

MY SPOILED LITTLE TOAD

My pet, Toad went out to eat some early, springtime bugs,

But he got really cold, and asked for my hot hugs,

Unlike the mammalian form,

Toad's blood is cold, not warm,

So I made us both hot coco, served in thermal mugs.

LAMENT FOR THE BABY PLANT

My tomato plant did not get very tall,

It was fine, until we had the snow squall

It would of had a life of green,

If the warm sun it had seen,

Poor thing, almost had no life at all.

UNDER THE BOOM, BOOM; PEANUT PIE FOR BREAKFAST

Lightning booming,  booming in the dark cloudy, morning sky,

It hits so close, me thinks I will be going bye, bye, bye,

What a way to die,

Like a burnt French fry,

Hope I don't burn to death, before I eat my peanut pie.

SPRING

Cold rainy weather makes us feel pain called, the cruds,

The arthritis pain, we fight with the suds,

We want mosquitos to bite,

To take our minds off our plight

While spring blooms bust out of their buds.

NO HORSE HONEY AT THE DERBY

I went to the Derby to get some horse honey,

Where I'll work there non-stop,

Tears falling as my nose runs it's honey.

MY QUEST FOR DIDGERIDOO KUNG FU

I always wanted a didgeridoo,

So, I went to Australia for one with Kung Fu,

And, I hop like some fat kangaroo.

 

A DRAGON NAMED BILL

There was a dragon named Bill,
His roar would give all a chill,
But, when he would tire,
He’d loose all his fire,
Then, he’d stand there perfectly still.

WHERE I GO PERCHING

Murky is the water where I catch my perch,

It's just a drainage ditch out near the canyon's old stone church,

It isn't all that far,

Driving out there with my car,

But, there's no phone so trouble could leave me in a lurch. 

BENNY GOLFED PAR WITH THE BIG BALL

Benny bought cheap glasses, and could barely see,

He used a soccer ball, when he went golfing with me,

It was a tough start, balancing the ball on the tee.

I joined the U.S. Navy,

Because I liked the gravy,

When I leave port, I give the shore a wavey.

FINGERING CHIP DIPS AND BUBBA THE DOG

I don't like it when the dog kisses me on my lips,

My hound Bubba kisses me after I eat salty kips,

He don't kiss when I eat sardines, 

Or a platter of fresh greens,

But he will lick my fingers, when I  run them through

 chip dips.

I SHARED MY HOME IN THE VILLAGE

I went into the village to find me some heat,

I found a huge box, lying free in the street,

I just got moved in,

And along comes my kin,

I let them all stay; they brought raisins to eat.

FISHING WITH TOAD

I use to go fishing with Toad,

He had a boat, but on it, he owed,

Then real early one morn,

Before the deer left the corn,

The bank took the boat down the road.

IT STINKS, BECAUSE THE DUCKS SCREWED AROUND

Two ducks travel with me in my Ford Motor car,

On long trips they pee in an old mason jar,

But one was wise-craken,  

The other laugh-quacken,

The spill smells like the urinal at the bar.

PHIL HAD DOWNHILL FUN

Donny had a red wagon, but it fit only one,

Donny  couldn't ride in it, because he weighed a ton,

So Donny sold it to Phil,

Who took it up the hill,

And went riding so fast, Phil had lots of fun.

THE GLITTER QUITTER CRITTER

Got me some eye makeup and glitter,

To make a new selfie for Twitter,

Made many fans bitter,

They called me a dimwiter,

I canceled my account, because I'm also a quitter.

ME AND TOAD GOT SNOWED

On the first day of May it snowed,

On the second day it blowed,

I did not care,

I live in despair,

I stayed indoors with my toad.
