FLIES IN THE PIE SAFE

My pie safe was filled up with pies,
And, the pies were covered with flies,
Although my deserts looked like doom,
Guests filled my dining room,
So, for desert I substituted French fries.

 

THERE WERE THREE LITTLE MICE ALL NAMED PERCY

There were three little mice all named Percy,
They attacked a nutty cheese ball without mercy,
When the cheese ball made them sick,
Then, they realized real quick,
That they'd need someone to drive them in a hearsey.

MONKEYS, CATTLE AND RATTLESNAKES LIMERICK

Two little monkeys raised and sold some cattle,
Then over the proceeds they started to battle,

MY FAMILY MAKES ME SO SICK I WON'T EAT

And, my pet monkey Trish, eats the jams between her toes.

CRANKY THE BIG BOSS, GOT CRANKED

Cranky liked bragging about all the vast riches he had,

Then one day no one came to work, and Cranky got real mad.

I'LL GO BACK TO SCHOOL WEARING SATIN

Unless, I get a mommy loan, working out an accord.

I WITCHY CURSED WITH MY SPELLS

I was learning to cast black witchy spells,

Along came these anti-speller do wells,

They tethered me to a tree,

To burn the witch out of me,

Through the flames, an awesome curse, I done yells.

A SPACE ALIEN POEM

A flying saucer landed in my yard,
It really caught me way off guard,
Especially when out popped two green men,
Both were tall and very thin,

Perhaps it was a grievous sin,
I didn’t fight because I could not win,
So, I decided to invite them in,
For a glass of beer and a late din din,

They ate some chicken and drank my beer,
All the while I shook in fear,
What I feared most was an alien probe,
I just wished they’d leave my simple adobe,

The aliens chewed and spit out my best cheese,
After that they seemed at ease,
I hoped my dinner did appease,
But, just in case I got down on my knees,

Finally, one of the aliens spoke,
He said my planet was just a big joke,
He said that my food and spirits were o.k.
So, my planet was spared for another day,

They said that every alien race,
Would likely visit my very place,
The food was edible and the beer was good,
The bathrooms were cleaned like a hotel should,

The aliens stole my towels and stole my soap,
Even the soap that hung on a rope,
They jumped in their saucer and sped fast away,
But, more came for dinner the very next day.

IGNORANCE ISN'T JUST BLISS, IT'S THE LAW

At our schools, we got rid of all of the books,

We know all smart people are nothing, but crooks,

We replaced all the teachers, 

With porn stars with fit features,

We're teaching, the only thing that counts are good looks.

TO KEEP MY KIDS FROM LEARNING, I DID A BOOK BURNING

I burned the books in my house, and what did I get?

Three sons in the jail, and they each have a dimwit,

They turned out, not to be bright,

Can barely read, and can't write,

And, their mathematics skills, ain't worth a plum spit.

A giant pickle laid on the ground,
Worms hollowed it out but, the walls were still sound,
Then, three little pigs,
Made the pickle their digs,
With rent being two pence and one pound.  

VEGETARIANISM SCHISM.

Some plants have cute fruits, some have fat tubers below,

Some plants make you sick,

And, they'll ghost you real quick,

I'd rather eat burgers, and chop plants with my hoe.

Benny was waiting, with his bow, arrows and quiver,

As the mighty king salmon, went running up river,

At a big salmon, half-rot,

Shooting dead fish, made meals easier to deliver.

It was off a pier, near an old strip mall,

I will often shop there,

Buy color, for my hair,

And buy nails, to hang my fish on the wall.

THERE WAS A BULLDOG NAMED TODD

There was a bulldog named Todd,
He drove a bright green hot rod,
Todd drove it too fast,

He buried it deep,
Where it would keep,
But, it was gritty and sandy.

Beneath the watch of guard towers,

The fish that day suffered no grief.

MY ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

At night I like to eat pork,
With wine that comes with a cork,
Then I'll eat a plate of fried chicken,
As online buys I am clickin',

THE DRUNKEN DRAGON

My fire breathing drinking bud, drank way, way to much beer,

Then he talked about his mommy, and his eyes began to tear.

BATS TO VAMPIRES

An atomic bomb fell on my bat shed,

The bomb went off then my bats were dead,

But under some melting rubber tires,

Some bats became vampires,

Now no one is safe outdoors, or in bed.

MONSTERS AND THEY'RE WAR ON SNORE

Goblins wait at my front door,

Outback, gargoyles sound an endless roar,

In the basement werewolves bang,

While in the attic vampires hang,

They're all upset because I snore.

THE LONG TEETH OF THE VAMPIRES

The vampires were all around and the sun would soon rise,

The long tooths were about to bring on my demise,

Then, the light came at us in waves,

The vamps all returned to their graves,

I got busy, I'm a dentist, surprise!  

MY LITTLE PIG WANTS EGGS

But, he gets none, unless he tries out for sports.

THE SEVEN TERMITES FROM HELL

The seven termites from hell,
Ate away on my wood wishing well,
Then, when the weather got hotter,
The well wouldn't hold any water,
The well just withered to sawdust and fell,

The seven termites from hell,
Ate on my home, until there, we couldn't dwell,
The walls caved in on dad,
Which made my mom sad,
Unfortunately, it was too late to sell.

A WRECKER FOR MY POGO STICK

So, I called for a wrecker and tow.

I LOST MY PHONE AND BLEW A GASKET, AND ENDED UP INSIDE A CASKET

When I lost my cell phone, I knew I was screw-doomed,

When I saw late uncle Fred,

And, late Aunt Nyla showed me, where I was entombed.

Leon's DOCTOR SAID

Leon's doctor said, Leon's guts were tied up in knots,

He said food in Leon's belly, just lays there and rots,

Without a real strong laxative,

And, that Leon should invest in, some really deep pots.

MY DOCTOR TOLD ME

My algorithms are not good,

The doctor told me that I should,

Stop eating pot pies,

Try some exercise,

Pay him with cash, and not firewood.

THE EVIL SPACE TRAPEZOID IN OUTER SPACE

I once found a trapezoid floating in outer space, 

It was coming for us humans, to de-geometry our race,

I shot it with my laser ray,

It was destroyed; I saved the day,

I still remember that trapezoid, and the angle on it's face. 

THE LITTLE RAT IN THE BARN

I found a small rat out in the cow barn, and made it my best pet,

He was off to college, before I knew,

My little rat became a surgeon, paid off the farm, now I'm set.

My roommate left the water on, after he washed off his crud,

It turned into a little river, that turned into a flood,

Into the room where the landlord lay,

He was with several girlfriends, because he was a stud.

THE STUPIDEST LIMERICK I HAVE EVER WROTE PART IV

I was a slop slob and spilled all over, my root beer float,

So, I had to turn inside out, my reversible coat,

The color is a bright, bright yellow,

I was a noticeable fellow,

I made a note in my journal, and it's all that I wrote.

THE MARS RAVE THAT NEVER WAS

I went to a rave party, way up on old planet mars,

They don't have combustion engines, so they don't drive earth cars,

The breakdown of our transport,

Meant our rave, we did abort,

And, we walked back to the space station, heads tucked into jars.

FANCY DRESS AND FIX YOUR HAIR, BUT DO NOT EAT THE PIGS

I am very afraid, and hiding out, down deep in my digs,

It's the end of summer, and people are all roasting us pigs,

We kindly pigs are forsaken,

So, I'm protecting my bacon,

Soon, busy people will fancy dress,  and saloon their nice wigs.

ME AND MICKEY DOWN BY THE SEASIDE

Me and Mickey were pals, and we always sat by the sea,

Watching the sunsets, dreaming of what the next day might be,

One day Mickey didn't show,

For mature, he did grow,

Now, Mickey spends all his sunsets, with his growing family.

HUNTING KILLER POTATOES

I don't know what happened, but my potatoes went feral,

They grew big mouths with big teeth, and ate my sister, Carol,

They ate my dad and my mum,

And, drank half of my rum,

The way that I'll stop them, is with lead from my gun barrel.

MOZART ON THE DIDGERIDOO

I heard Mozart played on a didgeridoo,

It was something different, something quite new,

On a doo, not a toot,

The doo played an encore, it was Love Is Blue.

#Love Is Blue, composed by by Paul Mauriat

Now, I'm not welcomed anywhere for a coffee or a meade.

His musical abilities were self-taught,
All his tunes were quickly bought,
Showing his talents were not a hoax but were valid.

Cookies of molasses,

Didn't understand, good or bad,

Now, I'm growing a bump,

And, the treatments are making me ill.

My toaster did not toast too well,
It toasted mom's toast too toasty to jell,
So, I spread peanut butter,
Then, served it to mutter,
Who, disappointed, gave me a good yell.

PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS, WARTS AND FARIES

By Psychic Mystic Madam Misty Murky Merkel

Associate Part-time Contributor,

Humor News Nuts Online Publications

I hate to say it, but I'm predicting that this month will be terribly hot and dry in Northern Michigan.  I am recommending that everyone should take it easy until Labor Day is over and then maybe this heatwave will finally end.  And, once this heatwave ends then you can go back to flipping burgers, or washing windows or building nuclear weapons to sell to unstable governments, like Ohio.  Whatever your line of work, it will be a lot easier to do it once the weather cools down.

Of course, as hot as it's going to be next month I am personally glad last month is over.  You see, I had to have a big horrible wart removed from my index finger.  It was one of those big warts with the big long curly hair sticking out of it.  It was really nasty to look at it.  And, guess how I got it.  I got it when I tried to help my friend Julia get rid of the awful little creature that flew up Julia's left nostril and refused to come out. 

You see it happened when Julia and I were sipping bourbon while sitting out on lawn chairs behind our trailers (her trailer is actually right next to mine).  The bourbon Julia had gotten for a Mother’s Day gift from her son Vern, who works at a local distillery.  I told her that the whiskey was too expensive to just share with me, but she said her son got it cheap using his employee discount.  Personally, knowing Vern, he got the whiskey for free using a five finger discount but, she was sharing her bottle with me, so who am I to point that out. 

 Well, we were both outside sipping on that expensive whiskey and enjoying the nice breeze when along comes this fairy and he flies directly up poor Julia's nose.   Now, Julia was in shock but, just for a moment.  Julia works for a divorce lawyer and she's seen and heard about everything so, it takes a lot to get and keep her rattled.  So, after the initial shock had worn off Julia proceeded to try to blow the little fairy out of her nose; even going to the extent of pressing one finger against her right nostril to block the air passage so that more pressure would be exerted in the left nostril to force the little fella out.  Well, no matter how hard Julia tried blowing her nose the little critter just would not leave so, I went into my trailer and came back out with a pair of tweezers and proceeded to grab the little fairy by the seat of his leotards and I easily yanked him out of poor Julia's nose. 

Of course, the fairy was really mad about what I had done and he started buzzing all around me, then suddenly he reached in his leotards into I guess what was a pocket, and pulled out a little hand full of fairy dust and sprinkled it on my hand.  Well, no sooner had he done that and a large wart with big hair in it emerged from my skin.  The fairy then stuck out his tongue, and sped off to harass some other people, no doubt. 

Julia and I never did figure out why the fairy went up her nose.  Most fairies are little psychopaths, and there is often neither rhyme nor reason to anything they do.  Every time you come across one they are nothing but trouble and that's why I'm going to get myself one of those fairy swatters the next time I go to the dollar store.  I'm also going to stop knocking down spider webs I come across, because spiders are usually pretty effective at keeping the fairy population under control.
