THE FOREST WENT QUIET

My neighbors love their poacher pie,
But when the squirrels all disappeared, it made me cry,
So because of my neighbors' diet,
The forest went real quiet,
And I no longer saw things that could swim, or run or fly.

THE GINGERBREAD AQUARIUM

Ron built an aquarium out of gingerbread,
It didn't hold water and his fish are all dead,
It may not be too soon,
To say Ron's mind's out of tune,
Ron thought the bread would keep his little fish fed.

UNDER THE LAVA LAMP AFTER I DIED

When you die you're supposed to walk into the light,

I tried that, but it was too hot and too bright,

So, I made me a camp,

By a real lava lamp,

Then, some ghouls stopped by for a bite.

LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR

My neighbor weaponized my shovel, and attacked some small ants,

The ants were little red biters, and ran up my neighbor's pants,

Like a bloody, daft fool,

He jumped into my pool,

After my neighbor's rescue, I lectured him on cans and can'ts.  

I LOVE TO DO MY LAUNDERING

I love to go a pondering, when I am full of wrath,

Sometimes I go a wandering, down a muddy path,

Sometimes I climb a steep hill,

Or, A mountain for a thrill,

Sometimes I do my laundering, then I take my bath.

SCUZZ NEEDS A JOB TWO

Sharp as a pencil that I was,

I'm a real hard worker with all I does,

But, I ain't been hired so what's the buzz?

I got no good grammar so, they calls me Scuzz,

Now, I can't read no good and barely write,

But, if we goes to the bar I can fight, 

I ain't got no teeth but, my jaw bone bite,

And, what a grip and I holds on tight,

Of course, I just really need a job,

'fore turns my muscles to belly blob,

I knowed now I should a stayed in school,

Alas, without much learning the world is cruel.

SPACE MONSTERS CAN HURT

There's a monster outside my spaceship, and he is from cold, deep space,

I think he wants to eat me, or maybe mess up real bad, my face,

He has long, sharp teeth, to bite,

Long claws to scratch out my sight,

I am wishing right now, I was way back home, by my fireplace.

IT LURKS BEHIND THE CORN

The monster lurking out behind the fielded corn,

We believe from the earth, it was a pumpkin born,

But an evil, magic spell,

Cast by a rouge witch, named Dell,

Carved the Jack-O-Lantern, that hunts before the morn.

WHAT STICKS IT ALL TOGETHER

My latest four cheese homemade pizza, lies in the garbage bin,

Everyone said it was a vile thing, that wreaks of sin,

Of course, I had to use glue,

At least it held together, so I give my effort a win.

ORLANDO BASEBALL

MY PSYCHIC GAVE ME A PREDICTION

POLLIWOG, TO EAT OR PLAY FETCH WITH? THAT IS THE QUESTION

I walked on down to the pond, and there met Mr. Prince Charming,

As human food, they might look o.k., but their smells are alarming.

LOSING MONEY THE OLD FASHION WAY: INVEST IT

My stock portfolio got down so low,
It had no further down it could go,
I added money hoping my portfolio would grow,
Where the money went my broker didn’t know,

I decided to invest in real estate,
But, when I entered the market it was too late,
Then, the banks all raised their interest rate,
I lost all my investment so, real estate I just hate,

I tried to hedge my money by buying gold,
But, as soon as I bought everyone else sold and sold,
My intentions were good and strategy bold,
Yet, my investment went south and I felt really cold,

I tried safe investing by buying up bonds and t-bills,
But, soon I found my safe portfolio was full of real ills,
My stomach felt like porcupine quills,
Now I’m broke and picking up bottles for my business thrills.

MY EYEBALLS ARE FUZZY, AND MY LIGHTS ARE BEE BUZZY

They flicker on and off, an eyeball tease,

When off, it is scary,

When on, I'm just weary,

And, my lights are always buzzing, like bees.

From my family at home, to the all store clerks,

I raised three pigs named Jason,
They spent all their time horse-racing.
One day they went bold,
Their houses they sold,
They lost big while their pony was pacing.

On a pony named Sony,
Now, they’re street vendors selling whiskey and cigs.

"Would rather drink, dog piss",

The bad stink came from deep down in Phil's soul.

"THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH"

I went to see the King of Pudding, and the King first had me jailed,

I appealed to his big boss,

She was the Queen of Mustard Sauce,

But before the Queen could act, all my internal organs failed.

THE WEEPING WILLOW TREE

There was a warped weeping willow tree, and it weeped, and weeped away,

It weeped spring, summer and fall, and cried icicles on Christmas Day,

That made the willow cry real good,

Then the willow was cut for lumber, built a home for Mr. Gray. 

YETI, YETI IN THE WOODS

Yeti, Yeti in the woods,
You broke in my cabin and ate my canned goods,
You are just one evil dude,
Because you stole my favorite food,

I love my tuna from the sea,
I work hard to have it just for me,
I'd gladly give you my musk rat pelt,
If I could have my tuna melt.
,

MENU FOR MY DINNER PARTY

But the tripe must be ripe,

Finally, the fish bones may be broke granting wishes.
