A FOGGY CHRISTMAS DAY + HAM

Peed on my new van,

My ham turned out delicious, most say.🍖🐖

DAVY AND THE SEAHORSE

When Davy dove under the sea,

He met a seahorse named Lee,

And, for just a dime each,

The seahorse gave rides to the beach,

The beach was where Davy went for his tea.

MY TREK ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

I had a little spaceship,

But, It did not travel far,

It launched sideways thirty feet,

And, was run over by a car,

My space travels were never great,

I never made it to distant stars,

My trek across this universe,

Has been in trains, boats, planes and cars.

To setup meters for future cars,

Parking for free,

Anywhere there are planets or stars.

With a hook and a worm you'll make my lunch rock,
I know you can see,
The worm luring thee,
Come grab it and I'll clean your fish clock!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHRISTMAS MARCHING BAND

The marching band marched down the street Christmas Day,

Along came a polar blast that blew them away,

Cold became their noses,

Then they froze in their poses,

Most were found two towns over, one sunny spring day.

I SHAVED MY HEAD AND GOT TO THE POINT

I shaved my head and found a point on the top,

I inherited my point from my mother's side grandpop,

Now, all the time I get teased,

I'm not at all pleased,

When my hair grows out will it stop? 

THERE ONCE WAS A LITTLE PERCOLATOR LIMERICK

There once was a little percolator,
It made good hot coffee, about ten minutes later,
It was understood,
That the coffee was good,
Unless, you were just a perking hot coffee hater.

THE CANDY ABUSER WAS A COMPLETE LOSER

The candy store man had no teeth left in his daft head,

His teeth rotted away, because on candy he fed,

His kid's teeth were all fillings,

Because of cavity drillings,

So his wife served him with papers, and now they're unwed.

DRIED UP PENS

I bought a package of pens that wouldn't write,
The ink was dried up real hard and real tight,
I had to use pencils,
To draw in my stencils,
The pencils made an aesthetic blight.

TROUBLED TIMMONS NEEDS A TOOTH FAIRY

Troubled Timmons is a snot,

When he is just a big old tot,

He is often mean, 

And, his language, unclean,

He will not brush and mouth is rot.

I GROW A GARDEN IN MY POTS AND PANS

My pots and pans are full of mold,

I should have washed them, I've been old,

But I need my veggies each day,

So I grow them my way,

I use the molds in my stew, and I never catch cold.

THE CHRISTMAS CANNIBAL ELF

It's a full moon on Christmas Eve, and you'd better watch yourself,

The elf that eats the bones is the one they call big Ralph.

YUM! YUM! YUM! STICKY, GREASY PORK RINDS

But boy they were so good to eat.

Jeeter was at a total loss,
He thought he worked harder than anyone,

Jeeter quickly found a job with hope,
It was a job watching a giant clock,
He spent his nights with a telescope,
As the stars moved he heard "tic-toc".

MAGIC CHRISTMAS, AND FULL IS THE MOON

Magic Santa, magic sleigh, magic deer that fly,

Underneath the full moon, they are a dab onto the eye,

In corporeal form they appeal,

But in reality, they are unreal,

Everywhere, and all at once, on such magic they rely.

I FED A FERRET, AND HE POOPED ON MY FLOOR

I invited a ferret over for dinner, but he was not very nice,

He was always chattering and chattering, and gave my youngest lice,

And in my bathroom, he did more,

He missed my toilet, and nailed the floor,

I grabbed that ferret by the tail, and escorted him out my door.

THE GNOME LIMERICKS

Marcy was a real pretty horse,
A gnome ate her for his main course,
Then he ate my dog,
My cat and my frog,
Gnomes are such an evil force.

There was a little gnome named Klaus,
He kept gnawing on my old house,
He liked tasty paint,
With a bit of lead taint,
And, termites and the occasional mouse.

TEACHER, TEACHER ALPHABET SOUP LIMERICKS

Teacher, teacher alphabet soup,
When I sit in class my eye lids droop,
My brain is so soar,
I just want to snore,
It’ll be a lifetime before I recoup.

Teacher, Teacher alphabet soup,
I can’t understand and I’m not a goop,
It would not be so bad,
If I could sleep for a tad,
Or, go out with my buds shooting hoop.

Teacher, teacher, alphabet soup,
I think that I’m coming down with the croup,
School air makes me wheeze,
And, who cut the cheese?
I’ve sit so long I’ve developed a stoop.

I EVOLVED AND WENT BACK TO.THE SEA

I woke up this morning without hands, arms or feet,

Instead, I had flippers; how am I supposed to eat?

I flopped down to the bay,

I feel better, I'd say,

Except, I'm sick of eating fish, and desire red meat.

CHRISTMAS EVE AND REINDEER STEVE

Again it is now Christmas Eve,
Santa’s ride depends on reindeer Steve,
Steve is the official weather reindeer,
But, he has drank too much beer,
Let’s hope his sobriety he’ll retrieve.

A WREATH FOR THE HOLIDAYS

I needed a holiday wreath for my front door,

Could not afford to buy one, because I'm dirt poor,

I took wire and branches of pine,

Built a circle held together with twine,

The wreath might not look good, but it's artwork of mine.

There was  mouse I called Davy,

A DOCTOR WHO SATURDAY

It's Saturday, and I don't know what to do,

Maybe I will visit buffalo at the zoo,

I guess I'll go to the beach,

There, volleyball I will teach,

Then I'll head home to watch Doctor Who.

I HAVE "THE WATCHING THE SNOWFALL MONOTONY BLUES"

I have "the watching the snowfall monotony blues,"

In Michigan the snowfalls always come in twos,

One lasts all night, the other lasts all day,

And, I expect the last one at some midpoint in may,

And, what about that rascal sun,

He shows up at sundown and then he is done,

And, what about the moon and stars?

They're simply legends told in snow stuck cars,

For summer days I have been grieving,

Though perhaps my memories are deceiving,

I remember the warmth from the golden, bright skies,

Perhaps, in my winter dementia the truth, it lies,

How could summer weather be so keen,

And, winter weather triple mean,

I do not know when I snowblow,

If I'll freeze a finger or a toe,

In Michigan we dig our ditches deep,

Sliding vehicles we stack in a heap,

And, if my wood pile does not stay dry,

Then, I will quickly freeze and die,

So, if you're looking for a place to go,

Come to Michigan, we have ice and snow,

 For we have sleds, and skies and affordable dining,

But, if you love sunshine, better quit your whining.

THE GLOWING SNOW WAS PAINTED BLUE

Chips of blue paint covered the new fallen snow,

The moonlight hit it, and the moonlight, it glow,

It's my peeled house paint,

The white snow it taint,

I would have repainted, but I didn't have much doe.

Often Harry would play in concert his sweet kazoo, 

Then he bought a nice metal flute, and it was brand new,

Then he bought a clarinet,

WHEN I MET AN AMOEBA MONSTER LIMERICK

I think my eyeballs weren't screwed in right.

They had their own little toboggans, and their own skies,

Tasting best after the honeycomb freeze.

I ATE TUNA ALL WINTER, NOW ALONG COMES A BEAR

Area bear watchers have gotten their wish,

There's a bear around here searching for some nutrish,

PSYCHO HEAT MIND

NASAL HYGIENE AND WARFARE

The picking of the noses is a family tradition,

Most do it for the fun, others do it for the nutrition,

Dig for the boogers deep, deep, deep,

The ones you like, you get to keep,

The others you can use as personalized ammunition.

THE CANDY CANE LICKER

I like licking my candy cane; it tastes like peppermint,

It makes my eyes tear up, and gives them a shinny tint,

I've got a bumper sticker,

Says, "CANDY CANE LICKER",   

Mama says, "oh, you didn't?",

THE CANDY CANE POEM

It does not take any brains,

The best treats are candy canes,

I do not hesitate,

I quickly manducate,

Then my teeth all suffer pains.

I CUT THE CABLE TV BUT, I DID NOT CUT THE ELECTRIC WIRE

When I dug a hole to plant a red maple tree,
Oops!  I cut the cable to my cable TV,
But, the cut electrical wire,
Which caused a neighborhood fire,
I didn't do so, please don't blame me.

IRREGARDLESS, I SAY

For Bill, "irregardless" is his favorite word,

But amongst PhD scholars it's a word never heard,

Now Bill gets a thrill,

Telling the smart ones to chill,

Saying, " irregardless is the newspeak of the nerd."

THE CLAWS OF THE YETI

I walked into a mountain cave,

And, found the bones that would mark my grave,

Then, in walks a two-headed yeti with claws,

And, long sharp, teeth in both jaws,

And of course, it did me no good to be brave.

THE TREE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH

Out in my backyard,

Stood a maple tree on guard,

Beneath it's tower,

Was my patio of power,

Where stories flowed from every bard,

My neighbors, relations and some I barely knew,

Would speak each's faults both false and true,

Conversations if in the public stew,

Many partakers would surely rue,

Then one day at my patio party,

The old maple tree started to talk,

Passing on such gossip,

I hoped that my guests would laugh and balk,

But, of all the loathsome stories,

That were tattle-tailed that day,

Was the one of my endless glories,

Regarding always having things my way,

Of course, my wife was there to hear,

The maples stories told to jeer,

My wife's behavior then took a steer,

And, she dumped down the drain my homemade beer,

Then, in her more anger there arose,

As she threw out all of my cloths,

And, she slapped off half my nose,

Then, stomped upon my twinkle toes,

I so surmised that this maple tree,

Really had it in for me,

So, I decided to act like a mid-evil Sax,

And, chopped down the tree with my double ax.  

HOME 4 SALE

I bought an  expensive piece of lake frontage land,

A million dollar mortgage, I signed with my hand,

I live barely week to week,

Higher wages, I had to seek,

Just now at work, they told me, I'm screwed and I'm canned,

DRAINING THE SWAMP CONSEQUENCES

My old hound dog peed on the floor, and he drained a swamp,

My contractor slipped on the floor, and is now on work comp,

What could I do?

My contractor sue,

My brain heard that circumstance song that has pomp.

THERE ONCE WAS A SNOWMAN NAMED BILL

There once was a snowman named Bill,
He always had a bad chill,
But, one sunny day,
Bill melted away,
So, getting warm wasn't a thrill.

He sat on the side of a hill,
As the snow melted one day,
Bill slid down like a sleigh,
And, he forgot to leave us a will.

THE OVERLY RIPE STRAWBERRY LIMERICK

I picked strawberries that were overly ripe,
And, the juice ran off my counter, oh cripe!
Of course it takes work and not brains,
To get out carpet stains,
So, my white carpet has a red stripe.

AFTER NOON, I WENT TO THE MOON

I decided to take a trip to the earth moon,

My new spaceship, and I and my dog, named Baboon,

My spaceship shifts by stick,

We rode it there real quick,

Partied with the natives, who hoped we'd be back soon.

WINNING THROUGH BROWN NOSING

I went to the city theatre, which was located downtown,

They wouldn't let me in, so I called the manager a bad noun,

Although I have no money,

My soul is bright and sunny,

I should have a free pass, since I compliment my nose brown.

All who ate cake, got a bad belly ache.

THE LIFE OF THIS DOG

And, the water in the toilet tastes worse near the seat,

And, I'll bite master on the tail if he forgets that I eat.

And four cheese macaroni,

And a gallon of extra rooty root beer. 

THE COUGAR BED AND BREAKFAST

I owned a bed and breakfast, but only cougar came to stay,

They all had lots of money, so I didn't turn any away,

They dated the local guys, 

Local gals had hateful eyes,

My local bed and breakfast, the gals tore down, one sunny day.
