Jitters liked eating little furry critters,

Along comes a rattlesnake,

He said his name was Big Jake,

WOLVES OF THE DRUID

There are these big, vicious wolves called alpha-males,

When I feed them people, the wolves wag their tails,

I'm a druid in the woods,

I feed wolves Red Ridding Hoods,

After dinner they sing in their howls and wails. 

THE WICKED WITCH PART ONE

I suffered just terrible, from an unending itch,

I went to the deep forest to see a wicked witch,

All that she did have,

Was a small jar of salve,

That smelled like a nasty something had died in a ditch.

I LIVE IN RURAL AMERICA PART I

The next door neighbors are out scrapping up roadkill  for dinner,

Looks like they got a  possum, and possum meat is a winner,

It seems they will finely dine,

With homemade whiskey and toilet wine,

I won't be invited to partake, because they think I'm a sinner.

LEON DREAMS

Leon was sure he could trampoline all the way to mars,

Leon fell off his trampoline and he visited the stars,

Some squares, and triangles too,

And, everywhere that Leon went, they drove electric cars.

PIE SAFE SAFTY

There was a great river that fell from the sky,

It crashed on my trailer, and I thought I'd die,

My trailer has leaks,

It's full of antiques,

To great grandma's old pie safe, I said "goodbye".

MY BEAUTIFUL.BLUE TEDDY BEAR PART III

My beautiful blue teddy bear was destroyed by my puppy dog,

In the garden, near the Swiss chard,

Then my puppy dug Teddy up, and I'm in mourning on my blog.

I TOOK OUT MY BOAT TO SLAUGHTER FISH

Out upon a bit of sea water,

But, I hit a big wave,
Found a watery grave,
Where I fed a hungry sea otter.

ON THE COMPANY DIME, MARS WAS A GOOD TIME

I rode a great big spaceship all the way to Mars,

To write an article on their electric cars,

I went to my Martian hotel,

To rest there for a little spell,

Then I went out to the Martian nightclubs and bars.

MY BEAUTIFUL BLUE TEDDY BEAR TWO

My beautiful blue teddy bear sat in a tire swing,

He doesn't really swing, because he cannot do a thing,

I drag his butt out and around,

On his belly I sometimes pound,

I just want to show Teddy that to him I am his king.

RASH AND HASH

Poor, crazy Jimmy spent a ton of cash,

To get rid of a contagious, rare rash,

It started on his toes,

Went up to his nose,

It went to his brain, and turned it to hash.

P.S.

Poor Jimmy

Aliens Strike Again👾

THE THINKER SLEEPS BETWEEN MY EARS

Sometimes, he is a stinker,

Like math class,

SNAGGING THE PLATYPUS REX

I went fishing for some giggles and thrills,

And maybe a flopping mess of bluegills,

I MET A PHEASANT NEAR THE ANTIQUE STORE

I met a pheasant, and his/her? name is Leslie Beaks,

The pheasant said little bugs, seeds and leaf worms it seeks,

I do not want to seem unpleasant,

But I do not like this pheasant,

The menu sounded nasty, so I'll scurry off to buy antiques.

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.

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

THE CHIP AND THE DUMPSTER DIVER

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

The drippings from his brain,

Predicted a client's loss or gain,

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.

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.

With soft eggs all boiled,

No garbage from food courts at a mall.

I ATE BARGIN KIPPERS

I found some fresh caught kippers on clearance sale,

I used my brand new space crowbar,

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.

We all cheered as the Detroit Lions ran up the score.

BLOOD BITES

The rats they sleep all day, and prowl around all night,

Looking for a spot of food, or an open toe to bite,

And, a courthouse so the unhappy could sue.
