DISEASED LINKS

I got diseased by hitting links,

Now, my time on the internet really stinks,

I can't download a game,

So, it just isn't the same,

But, with no games I'm getting plenty of winks.

SQUEAKY SQUIRES THRIFTY STORES 2

My employer, Squeaky Squires, owns a chain of grocery stores,

He sells expired groceries, and unto him the wealth, it pours,

I got titled head cashier,

 I'm the only one that's here,

My shift lasts from the opening, until the lockup of the doors.

SQUEAKY SQUIRES THRIFTY STORES

Squeaky Squires put a chip in my brain,

So I could cashier at his store up in Maine,

We sell veggies by weights,

Expired goods with old dates,

I'll be your checkout if you use the fast lane.

THE CHIP AND THE DUMPSTER DIVER

The authorities insisted I was insane,

They insisted, and put a chip into my brain,

The chip made me much less smart,

I push a grocery cart,

Collecting my treasure down each road, street and lane.

Down from his sinus, and out the nose it do go,

Thanks to his brainy goo,

Horrible news for some, others love and much doe.

THE PARANOIDAL UNIVERSE

There are two parallel universes; one paranoid, one that's not

I live in the paranoid one, where every action is a plot,

What fortunes I would gladly give,

If In the other I could live,

Maybe I can get over there, if I sneak and lie and scheme a lot.

CYRUS THE PSYCHC

Cyrus The Psychic found a jewel, a rarity,

When he dripped snot on it, Cyrus found psychic clarity,

The drippings from his brain,

Predicted a client's loss or gain,

Cyrus charged a big fee because he was no charity.

FOR MORE

I will work all day for more pickles,

I buy them with my hard earned nickels,

They are really sour,

They have pucker power,

I fix my mouth by sucking icicles.

FREE PIES FROM STINKY

My neighbor bakes me pies full of beans,

My neighbor's body, he seldom cleans,

I throw the beans far, far away,

Return a clean pan the next day,

I'd remark, but I don't feel the means.

MY HEATER DID NOT SERVE ME WELL

I set my electric heater dial to toasty,

Took a long nap, and I woke up being roasty,

It was not my desire,

My shack catch on fire,

Seems my electric heater has made me a ghosty.

WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

I fell off the end of the pier,

I wondered where do I go from here?

If I went down,

I would most likely drown,

And, the shoreline is not at all near.

THE FOX AND THE DIRTY DEEDS

My four hens were out pecking at sunflower seeds,

Then along came a fox, and he did four dirty deeds,

I had no eggs the next morn,

Just four kernels of stale corn,

I filled up my belly on coffee and weeds.

I DIGS A HOUND HOLE FOR MY FRIEND 3

My hound now rests down deep in his hole,

In the earth with the worm and the mole,

I found a gravestone,

That looks like a bone,

I also left his corn biscuit bowl.

ZOMBIES WON'T KEEP ME FROM WORKING

AI looked outside this morning, and zombies were there,

Tapped on my window, and their bad teeth they did bear,

I tossed them canned peaches,

And my bait bucket of leaches,

That kept them busy whilst I caught a bus, and paid fare.

I DIGS A HOUND HOLE FOR MY FRIEND

I'm afraid feeble has become friend, hound,

All he does is eat weeds and laze around,

He's 16 years old,

That's ancient I'm told,

I guess I should dig him a hole in the ground.

WHAT'S MY SOUL WORTH? APPARENTLY, A HALF A TANK OF GAS

The price of gas is high, to be frank,

I took out a new mortgage to buy just half of one tank,

I don't expect gas to be free,

But, I'm ruined financially,

And, my soul is owned by the bank.

WHY ARE MY PIGS SO SKINNY LIMERICK

Why are my pigs so skinny and so small?
Everyone else's pigs are so fat and so tall,
My pigs are food spoiled,
With soft eggs all boiled,

No garbage from food courts at a mall.

POOR LITTLE TENDERFOOT

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking on some stones,
And, with every single step he took,
He made a dozen moans,

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking on some sand,
The sand was really scorching hot,
So, he popped every sweat gland,

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking on some sticks,
And, every single step he took,
Felt like stepping on ice picks,

Poor little tenderfoot,
Went walking in outer space,
But, his suit depressurized and he blew up,
Because he didn't tie his shoelace.

But when I got the door ajar,

King Tut had been all mummified, along with his dog, Mutt.  

KAZOO ON A G STRING

I turned on my tunes, but my tunes were not there,

A check went to subscriptions but, my check account was bare,

So quiet was my place,

I stuck a kazoo in my face,
I learned to play Strauss waltzes and Bach's G String, blowing air.

If I were a walrus, I would take ice and build a shack,

Then I would eat invertebrates, while lying on my back,

I'd eat snails and wiggle worms, 

Any spineless thing that squirms,

Sometimes I'd eat a seal, when food got scarce on my ice pack.
