Tooth Truth

For teeth, there was once was a tube of paste,

It was never touched, and went to waste,

Soon no one had teeth,

They just gumed on their beef, 

It seems not flushing and brushing was decided in haste.

NUBINS FROM SPACE

There are little cuties called "Nubins", who fell out of the sky,

Interplanetary invaders, who make you laugh till you die,

They're always passing gas, from low places,

Brimming big, smiley faces,

Then suddenly, you feel really high.

He couldn’t read music and soon got canned,
So he took a music course,
Learned the power of the force,
During his ovations, the audience will stand.

DOCTOR

My doctor said, doctors once cured people by making them bleed,

I replied that modern doctors make people bleed, because of greed,

And he gave me a face slappy,

Then he billed me for the slap; said that therapy, I need.

THE RED POP SNORE

He made a jam, ham, bun sandwich, he didn't share with me,

Last time I invite that guy over for tea.

I FOUND A BLUE PLANET IN GALAXY NINE

With few in-between voids,
And my navigation was influenced by wine.

THE BADGER AND THE WOLVERINE DID NOT PLAY SO WELL

The badger and the wolverine did not play very well,

And, I can clean anybody's clock or ring-a-ding their bell.

MY FISH HAS A COATING

I like catching my fish dinner on my boat,

I buy cleaned fish with a coating,  

And, fry my fish in hot grease till they float.

When he turned five and twenty,

I figured I fed him plenty,

Now he delivers packages, by flying delivery drones.

I eat a big plate when the sun makes new dawns,

It's my breakfast meal,

With fish smelly appeal,

I chew them as I window watch, doe deer with their fawns.

And sentenced to dress as a clown.

THE GNOME RIND AND DINED

A fat little gnome chewing on a watermelon rind,

The watermelon was of course stolen,

I ordered him to pay for it, but the gnome, he declined.

TOUGH TIMES

When the groceries get gone and times get really hard,

Sometimes you eat supper from things found in the yard,

Sometimes you skip meat,

If there's no bugs to eat,

Sometimes you eat bark, if it's thin like a card.

SOMEONE ATE MY CHICKENS LIMERICK

Someone ate all of my chickens last night,
The only trace found were feathers, all white,
It must be the bear,
He left his tracks there,
And, he gave my truck tires a bite.

Each burst and became a sack,

Now Terry and his four square game are looking pretty lame.

And that's what I eat on, a lot.

On street corners for quarters he'll sing.

Yesterday I had a scare,
I ran into a big black bear,

But, my bones will mend and my scars will heal,
The best thing of all is I was not a meal.

THE LITTLE BEE NAMED BARRY LIMERICK

There was a little bee named Barry,
He couldn’t get a girlfriend ‘cause his legs were hairy,
So he tried to groom,
Shaved his legs zoom, zoom,
But, now his legs look ten times as scary.

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.

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,

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 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,

While I was in the world of in between.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

KIM AND THE KILLER WHALE

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,

The hark dropped Absalom, which showed Absalom was cunning.

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.

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.

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

It's tastes unpleasant, when trading tongues,

Each Canadian smoke shower,

Makes Honey taste bitter-sour,

Went to hospital, real quick,

Malaria is spreading, fun fact? Not!

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

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

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,

And from an old man, stole a cap,

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