GERTY GOT DIRTY, ONE SUMMER DAY

I went white water rafting, one sunny day,

The river was yucky with swirling red clay,

My little dog, named Gerty,

Got her face all dirty,

I washed her face off, once we got to the bay.

HUNGER: TEXTURE AND SMELL

I went to an upscale restaurant that served only soup,

My soup had the smell and texture of a big bowl of poop,

I really did not care,

I had hunger to spare,

I rushed to work a giant soup spoon to slurp, scoop, slurp, scoop...

FOOD FROM THE WEB

I'm eating spiders and their eggs,

They have no flavor and meatless legs,

But, they taste better than flies,

With their big bulging eyes,

Or, worms with bodies divided in segs.

DRIFTY THE ROBIN

There was a robin named Drifty,
His eyes were real big and shifty,
When Herman the worm,
Decided to Squirm,
Drifty thought his next meal looked nifty.

Drifty liked to head up north,
To spend his summers after the Fourth,
But when the winter winds blew and blew,
Drifty headed south with his girlfriend Sue.

LIVING TIN BOAT LIGHTNING STORM HORROR

All wide eyed, I just had to sit and wonder, 

Just as the skies lit up, and then came thunder,

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

The echoes of doom,

Sitting in a tin boat, was that a blunder?

THE HIGH COST OF PRETTY FLOWERS

Leprechauns and unicorns and trolls; they all have to eat,

When they spy me working in my yard, they think of me as meat,

I must clean my springtime flowers,

To cause growth by springtime showers,

I just can't stay inside; so fairy critters will have a treat.

MY PET PIG DIDN'T PAY HIS CHILD SUPPORT, AGAIN

My pig's child support payments had failed,
So, he was arrested and sentenced and jailed,
And, it didn't please the court,
When my pig went "snort, snort,"
For those comments he was really nailed.

MY FLOWERS DIED, THANKS SIS!

Prettied my trashy city,

Then sister peed on them, to empty out ale.

TOBACCO INSPIRED

Harry liked to target the lunchroom spittoon,

He chewed tobacco when he took lunch at noon,

He hit the toon hole every time,

He inspired this amazing rhyme,

Add music, and we'd have a new tune to croon.  .

GNOMES DO WHAT GNOMES DO

Gnomes are really little dudes,
They play around and have attitudes,
They trample my garden flat,
They torment my poor cat,
My other pets they see as tasty foods.

REFRIGERATION FOR MY PRETTY FACE

It had completely shorted out, because its wires were bare,

At a rewiring one stop shop,

Got rewired, bottom to top,

It was like a new refrigerator, to store my skin care.

IF YOU HURT MY TRUMPET, I WILL HURT YOUR TOOT EVEN MORE

On every Halloween,

So, I sawed in half his Pan flute, and it will play no more.

Steamy, is the texture of snot,

And, goodness knows,

The heatwave grows,

Water's gone, and the food is rot.

Because of his strong pheromones.

For when I hit the ice, 

We will spin round once or twice,

Then, clean undies in my car become rarer.

I'm ordering my drinks to be extra tall.

BRAIN CHIPS AND PRODUCTIVITY

I was admonished for working too slow,

To make the boss more doe, doe, doe, doe.

When will the great soul end our world, that has an existence which is paper thin?

Perhaps the great soul will decide to write us off, when it takes up a pen again,

Will the world end today?

Every  moment we perishable thoughts exist, we should count that as a win.

And, his glass eyes looked real mean,

If he sells I'll make more fish in mass.

If you live where there is no snow,

April is when your plants will grow

The baby deer falls from the doe,

You won't need socks to warm your toe,

You shelve long books, like Ivanhoe.

THE RHUBARB WINE LIMERICKS UNPLUGGED

There is nothing as potent as fresh rhubarb wine,
It’s not drank by the timid, connoisseur or, divine,
The bottle warnings you should heed,
It can make your eye balls bleed,
To save yourself when offered a glass just decline. 

Rhubarb wine made me grow hair down between my toes,
I grew hair in my ears and the nostrils of my nose,
The wine made my eyes all glassy,
This scared off my main lassie, 
Rhubarb wine is the cause of most all of my woes.

THE COST FOR WADING IS MONEY AND PAIN

When wading in the ocean, you might get a bad sting,

And, most times that creature is a most poisonous thing,

THE MEAN BLUE BIRD NAMED JAY-Limerick

There was a big blue bird named Jay,
He chased all the small birds away,
An eagle dropped by,
He ate Jay on the fly,
No one helped Jay on that day.

Jay was a really mean old bird,
He only screamed and said not a word,
When an eagle named Heather,
Ate Jay beak and feather,
Jay's screams was all anyone heard.

No one was sad to see Jay gone,
He was mean from dawn to dawn,
For his memorial day,
Nothing good could one say,
At the wake they had salt licks and prawn.

My diesel truck made me so late for work,
I was summarily fired by the boss, who’s a jerk,
Unemployed I and upset be,
My girl friend left me,
Now with not hope my mind is berserk.

And, the peep, peep of a flute,

Then someone was singing, but they were off key.
