I BUILT MY OWN HOME

Some people build themselves a beautiful home,

Sometimes with a straight roof, sometimes with a dome,

Well, I gave it a whack,

I built me a shack,

Some call it a dump, and that is my poem.

MANY PEOPLE SAY

Many people say there are ogres behind the trees,
Some people say that Martians buzz like bees,
I hear that people say that chickens don't have knees,
I've heard a lot of people say that Santa water skis,
But, I think that people say things because they like to tease.

THE TWO WHACK JOBS GOT MARRIED

Dave was what you would call, extremely mecurial,

For ladies, he was not parental material,

Dave carried reject pain,

In his unsettled brain,

Then married capricious 3rd cousin, Merial.   

MY SWEATY CORNET

It seemed like for my old cornet, all the notes did melt,

For steaming hot was parade day, and that my cornet felt,

My lips got drip, dry parched, 

The notes got damaged as we marched,

When the parade was finally done, I had a root beer belt.

THE REBELLION OF THE RASPBERRIES

My raspberries needed more care,

But I hadn't the water to spare,

So they all got real grumpy,

And surrounded my dumpy,

And demanded that my water, I share.

THE PIE-FILLING GUT-GAS OF STEVE

Stevie liked his pastries full of pie-filling,
He'd eat them all day if his belly was willing,
But, he never did think,
The pie filling could stink,
When the gas in his guts was just killing.

THE AMPERSAND LIMERICK

Teacher told me I couldn't use the ampersand (& ),

He said in his class, that symbol was banned,

Well it just is not fair,

Just because teach lost his hair,

That the poor little ampersand is canned.

I HAVE BEEN ENSLAVED BY PLANTS FROM ANOTHER WORLD, LIMERICK

There are alien flowers growing behind my shack,

I don't talk to them because they holler back,

They are very demanding,

In fact, downright commanding

I do what they say, because I'm afraid they'll attack.

DRIED DILL DOWN THE HILL

It rained so very much, that mud went sliding on down the hill,

Along with my shack, and dozens of dried bundles of dill,

It was a disaster, complete

I had no place for my seat,

And the neighbor association, sent me a moving bill.

I PRACTICED THE HARP WHILE WAITING

There was a nail named Mr. Green,

One scratch from him and I got gangrene,

My toe nails are so sharp,

They could pic play my harp,

While I was in the world of in between.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

It was getting so hot, it made me psycho in the mind,

So I pretended it was Christmas, so I could unwind,

I saw the sky drop snow,

I watched the layers grow,

Then suddenly I wondered, if my snow shovel I could find.

KIM AND THE KILLER WHALE

There was an orca in the community pool,

I didn't hop in because I've never been a fool,

But my best friend, Kim

Went in for a swim,

They both teased me for being scarred, and that was cruel.

BIKING, TRIKING AND HIKING

I can no longer balance on a bike,

That's why I bought myself a trike,

But, the trike was too small,

Or, I'm just too tall,

To stop knees in my face I must hike. 

AI GAVE ME FAT THIGHS

I ordered from an AI, my dinner online,

The AI took my order and I thought all was fine,

I ordered chicken and fries,

Got pancakes and fried thighs,

I think the AI should stop sampling the wine.

WASPS DON'T THINK SIN, WHEN THEIR PEELING SKIN

Giant wasps are on their way, to peel away our human skins,

Each wasp delights in our screams, while they make those bug face grins,

Big shots say the bugs will freeze,

It don't help us, that hope filled tease,

I think we should be setting traps; maybe use some tuna tins..

I DIDN'T KNOW. THERE WAS A CRAPIER JOB, UNTIL AI TOOK IT AWAY

I was a limericks writer, paid in rubles, plus it was a hob,

Now Artificial intelligence, has taken away my job,

I pick up bottles in ditches,

Get stained and muddy britches,

Just so I get to eat, because I'm now an unemployed slob.

MONTREAL VACATION

I went to Montreal to see the buildings and the beautiful sites,

But I had trouble speaking French, because I lack some brights,

At restaurants, I felt despair,

For food and drink, I had just air,

Next time I go to Montreal, with an interpreter I'll get the tights. 

CUNNING ABSALOM

Poor little Absalom, did not see the big hawk coming,

Absalom was a little mouse, and not so fast at running,

When the hawk grabbed Absalom's tale,

Absalom let out such a a wail, 

The hark dropped Absalom, which showed Absalom was cunning.

HEAD-KNOCKER SUNDIAL

Don gave his head a really bad knock,
When he fell into a sundial clock,
By the time Don's thinking had cleared,
Don had a long beard,
And, the sundial weathered down to a rock. 

DEATH OF THE CLOCK AND THE RISE OF THE WATCH

My wall-clock fell on my desk and broke,
No reviving, it suffered a terminal stroke,
Oh, what should I do,
When I need time that's true,
I bought a gold watch from a street-corner bloke.

Wind Blows Clunker Down

When the tornado came toward my bunker,

Down inside I chose to hunker,

With my dog named Dee,

And my cat named Lee,

The bunker survived by not my old clunker.

THE SUN GETS US OUT

Glorious sun warms my arthritic soul,

Let us celebrate with a full salad bowl,

Or, do a picnic when we eat,

Reserve sunshine for our treat,

Yes, the sun will get us out of this hole.

THE SAGA OF BEEP

My name is Beep,🐒

I like to sleep,💤

I don't think to deep,💩

No pressure I keep,🍩🍨

My brother's a creep,🐍

My sister's a peep,🐣

I go to school driving my old man's Jeep.🚙

GARGOYLES GOT TALENT

I followed some tire marks in the sand,

They led to a gargoyle band,

The one named Sweet Hilda,

Sang Waltzing Matilda,

While the others laid back and got tanned.

MY BREATH SMELLS LIKE MINTY MUNG BEANS

Canadian smoke fills my mouth and lungs,

It's tastes unpleasant, when trading tongues,

Each Canadian smoke shower,

Makes Honey taste bitter-sour,

I try to improve my breath, by chewing mint and mungs.

There's Always Something Out To Get Me

I had a mosquito contact,

It gave me a a malaria contract,

Felt very sick,

Went to hospital, real quick,

Malaria is spreading, fun fact? Not!

HEATWAVE 2023

It got so very hot, even my little pansies died,

The last live flowers in my garden, and I cried, and cried, 

Now only plastic flowers, I grow,

My lawn is astro turf; pretend to mow,

The only real plants I'll see again are ones that someone dried.

WHEN BRINE SHRIMP ATTACK

My tank full of guppies was completely unease,

So I bought some brine shrimp, to try to please,

One brine shrimp grew bigger,

Ate my fish and cat, Trigger,

I now beg him for mercy, while down on my knees.

FLAT EARTH SCIENCE

My new science book, says the earth is actually flat,

And that if I walk off the edge, that's the end of me, ooh drat,

And rockets didn't go into space,

It was all filmed at some studio place,

It also turns out eating cheese balls, will never make me fat.

LOST IN AMERICA

Larry was so upset, because he could not find his home,

He pulled each hair from his head, creating a big, bald dome,

Larry finally found a map,

And from an old man, stole a cap,

Then Larry realized, he was in Alaska, outside of Nome. 

THE LITTLE BIRD NAMED CHURBA

Churba is a little bird, and he makes a churbing sound,

Whenever I hear churbing, I know that Churba, is around,

Churba likes to eat cheddar cheese,

I sit it out, for Churba, to please,

Along with some tasty prunes, so Churba won't get bound.🧀🐦

MAROON COULD BE A COLOR, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY NOT A FRIEND

My garden potatoes were colored maroon,

No one would eat them, except Mr. Raccoon,

He ate them on a dare,

Then messed his underwear,

He sat on the toilet from noon until noon.

CRAWDAD GOT TALENT

I bought a fish tank for my pet crawdad, Mr. Bay Jay,

Mr. Bay Jay was happy, and in his tank he would play,

He had a toy flute,

And he played it, so quite,

Sometimes he'd stare at me, but that was ok. 

TASTY AND CARNIVOROUS, MY MAGIC MUSHROOM FIND

I held a mushroom near my face, and he bit me on the cheek,

I decided that a mushroom with teeth, was a nature freak,

But as he chewed on my cheek skin,

I fried him with eggs for my din,

The toothy mushroom tasted so good, more I'm going to seek.

JIM'S JOB INTERVIEW IS GOING TO STINK

Jim's French perfume had gone all skunky,

It smelled worse than the pee of his pet monkey,

Jim was due for an appointment,

And had no underarm ointment,

It's a job interview, and Jim's chances are sunky.

I AM A SAVED SODA POONTOON

I was out in my aluminum boat,

I drank sodas that made my belly bloat,

Then up-chucked the sea,

Swamping my boat and me,

Soda gas kept my body afloat.

THE TERRIERDACTYL

My little bull terrier, thinks he's a flying dinosaur,

He climbs up on the furniture, and jumps four feet or more,

He knocked over Uncle Vern.

Vern sat so quiet, in his urn,

Methinks dinos will be flying, to the backyard, and out the door.

MY NEW HOME IN THE WOODS

I was given a key for the front and the back,

But there's no doors, or doorknobs, on my lean-to shack,

There's a hanging blanket front door,

Inside, in places there's floor,

Backdoor, is old tires in a stack.

RED SHED AND THE RAINBOW RISE

There was a rainbow over my shed,

My shed was painted barny red,

Before my nose,

The rainbow rose,

I went back inside to get breakfast fed.

THE MUFFIN GIVES ME STUFFIN', AND THE SACK WILL TREAT MY BACK

I tried a little exercise, and I hurt my back,

I had to lay flat on the floor of my shack,

Finally, I grabbed the doorknob on the door,

And crawled up from the floor,

I ate a corn muffin, and then, I hit the sack.

I FELT OK UNTIL THE CLOWN

I decided to ride my motor scooter into town,

But I went way too slow, and I quickly got run down,

The first car really hurt,

The second caused blood squirt,

Then I was run over by a semi, driven by some clown.

CROAK GOES THE WEASEL

I wish up in Canada, they'd stop the smoking,

So that people in Michigan, could stop choking,

It just ain't at all fair,

There's smoke clouds everywhere,

I saw a weasel gasp for air, I think he was croaking

TALK ABOUT A BAD SANTA

Santa's at the beach and he's having lots of summer fun,

He left Mrs. Santa at home; he's with a special hon,

But an age difference he fears,

About 20,000 years,

And Santa's new young lady, shows she's baking him a bun.

BULLIES, EYEBALLS AND GOLD

I put an earring in my left ear,

It was gold, and financially dear,

But along came this Frankie,

He gave my earring a yankey,

The pain made my right eyeball tear.

HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN

The cars on the highway started to beep,

So I had to go out and move my sheep,

Cars are evil and chilling,

They do sheep roadkill killing,

Then at the end of the day, I weep.

VAMPIRES CELEBRATE THE FOURTH WITH PIE

At every fireworks display on the  4th Of July,

Vampires rain down on tourists, from out of the sky,

The tourists are alarmed,

But not seriously harmed,

The vampires just need blood, for gram cracker crust pie.

ZOMBIES ON THE FOURTH

The zombies attacked on the 4th Of July,

They ate my best friends, Herbie and Guy,

Then the rocket glared,

The zombies got scarred,

And I ate burgers, and finished with pie.

SPACECRAFT DISASSEMBLY, AND A BABOON IS LOST IN SPACE🚀

My spaceship disassembled as I journeyed toward the moon,

They launched it in bad weather, and probably way too soon,

It rattled really bad, 

While still on the launch pad,

Humans won't feel bad for me, I'm just a creature called, Baboon. 

 

DEEP FRIED SPLEEN KIDNEY PIE

Chef made the bestest ever, kidney pie,

It was so delicious, I asked chef,"why?"

Chef said he made kidneys appeal,

By wrapping with the spleen of eel,

Cooked in grease leftover, from a chicken fry.

HUSBANDS AND BOYFRIENDS, AND THE BIG ALPHA MALE

Ron was proud to be a big alpha male,

At nightclubs, he would really set sail,

Ron hit on ladies all night,

Got into fight after fight,

And spent the next 90 days in a jail.

MY ROOSTER GOT TAIL IN THE END

The dog next door, Jim call him poop,

He tried to raid Jim's chicken coup,

But Jim's rooster had beak,

And Poop's tail he did seek,

Tonight Jim fine dines, on Poopy tail soup.

NEVER USE YOUR HANDS TO LAUNCH ROCKETS,: A PARABLE OF SORTS

I use to have fingers, until one 4th Of July,🖖

From my fists I'd launch rockets, then watched them blowup and die,🌋

I got celebration crazy,🍺💃

Then my fingers got lazy,🙌🚑

It's been over 80 years, still I cry.😭

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING FIRE AND EXPLOSIVES!!! BEST NOT TO DO IT AT ALL 👍

PUT SAFETY FIRST WHEN FOLLOWING COWS

I followed the cows at eventide,

The cows kicked up bacteria so, then I died,

Follow cows if you must,

Just cover your face from the dust,

Then, with the bovine species abide. 

THE ALPHA MALE AND HIS TINY THINGS

I do not like bacteria, I do not like them one and all,

They make my belly really sick, and make my little sister ball,

Daddy brings them home from work,

He won't wash his hands, the drunken jerk,

He claims he's an alpha male, and bacteria is their card of call.

ICE CREAM ENVY

I wanted an ice cream cone, but they make me look fat,

So I had my little bro eat one, while I watched and sat,

With delicious surprise,

The first lick, twinkled his eyes,

So I took the ice cream cone, and made it into his hat.

DON'T EAT YOUR SWEETIES FEETIES

I once knew this scientist named Pete,

The only thing he studied was feet,

He said what lurked among us,

Was a terminal foot fungus,

And toe jam was not fit to eat

MY GOLDFISH PLOTS

Methinks my goldfish now plots my demise,

I can see his deceit in his black, blinkless eyes,

What gives me a real creep,

Is he sinks down into the deep,

And, I know someday from the deep he will rise. 

THE LIMERICK OF PORCH PIRATE BILLY

Porch pirate Billy, sneaked up to my backdoor,

He sneaked off with candy, laid on my porch floor,

A rare chocolate from Spain,

Quite hard to obtain,

Now I will have to try ordering more.

BUGS GIVE ME GAS

My friends tell me the food sources are declining,

My menu, they all said, needs refining,

They said if I would eat bugs,

They would give me love hugs,

But bugs tear into my intestional lining.

BETWEEN BACON AND SOCIAL MEDIA, I CHOSE BACON EVERYTIME

I went to Twitter and I couldn't twit a tweet,

I felt really low, I felt deep defeat,

I did not get bitter,

Because they signed me off Twitter,

I can spend the time frying bacon to eat.
