I BUILT A CABIN IN A SWAMP

I built a cabin in a swamp,
So, I'd have a place to romp,
I love all the snakes and the bugs,
With them it's kisses and hugs,
But, on the lizards I like to stomp.

THE LAST BOY TO SELL BANANAS

The last boy to sell bananas, sold them on the main city street,

He made money selling bananas, because they are good to eat,

He stole them from daddy's small store,

Then, deliveries came no more,

Bananas had gone extinct, so the boy sold pickled piggy feet.

PEASANT RECIPE FOR STEW, HAGIS AND SCONES, NOT

I once  knew a great big giant, and his name was Marvelous Mel,

He got all his stew meat from the peasants, he caught down in the dell,

He ground and ground their bones,

To make flaky, crisp scones,

He made haggis from their innards, his recipe, he wouldn't tell.

GREGG USED A VACUUM TO CLEAN OUT HIS EARS

Gregg used a vacuum to clean out his ears,  
It sucked out his brains and brought his eyes to tears,
Now, just a zombie remains,
As Gregg seeks other's brains,
He should settle for some chips and some beers.

AMADEOUS THE SKUNK

Amadeus the skunk left his scent in the air,
Everyone disliked it but he seemed not to care,
One day while all alone,
Amadeus began to moan,
Pining for friends that just were not there.

THE KNIGHTESS AND THE BAD DRAGON

There once was a dragon with the littlest hand,   

He wanted absolute rule over all the land,

But along came a knightess,

Who just did what was rightess,

She chased off the dragon, and the dragon got banned.

MY PICCOLO VS A TRUMPET CARILLON

A trumpet carillon played all through the night,
They kept me awake which started a fight,
But their brass horns hit true,
Making me all black and blue,
And, up my nose my piccolo fit real tight.

HOLIDAY IN PORTUGAL

I went to Portugal to buy some stringy cheese,

While I was there, I bought honey made by some bees,

I ate some cooked, ground pork,

Drank wine; it had a cork,

Ordered a cherry pie, but it had to unfreeze.

HE WAS A TURTLE, AND THEN HE DIED

I had to kiss my cute turtle goodbye,

After I found out that he could not fly,

I tied him to a kite,

Told him to hang on tight,

But, he bit clear through his strings, then he die.

MY TRUMPETER'S LULLABY SAID, "NIGHT, NIGHT", LONG AGO

I stored away my trumpet, for the last thirteen odd years,

I got it out to play, but it just made noise to my ears,

My lips are all soft blubber,

And my tongue, solid rubber,

I did sound much better after I drank one million beers.

TWO TURTLES LIVED IN A TWO TURTLE TENT

Two turtles lived in a two turtle tent,

In a primeval forest where a tent was low rent,

Then, along came a snake,

Who made a delicious turtle bake,

Which he shared with kind who were bent.

SAMMY GAPES THE TEETH

Sammy was a dental hygienist, who practiced poor hygiene,

And Sammy's  jaw was so soar, it made Sammy real, real mean,

On your teeth, Sammy would dig and scrape,

Until between your teeth there was a gape,

Sammy's had big troubles, after he gaped the tooths of our fab queen.

GORE: THE CREATURES IN THE CRACKS

I told Vincent to never again, lock the bathroom door,

I said monsters hid within the cracks, in the tile floor,

Vincent never locked it for the next, two days,

The third day he locked it, now, the preacher prays,

The person who found Vincent, described the bathroom as, "gore".

 

THE SQUIRREL HAD TO MAKE HIS NUT

The squirrel had to make his nut, and his nut was at the top of the big tree,

The squirrel had to pay all his bills, because the life of a squirrel, ain't free,

A quick climb up the big pine,

The squirrel would be debt fine,

The squirrel slipped, and fell from the tree top, now a big hospital nut, has he.

OOH, OOH ECONOMY

I just realized that I am in an "ooh, ooh" economy,

It feels worse than when I had my court ordered lobotomy,

Rib roast prices are too high,

My little lamb chops, I can't buy, 

All food prices must be  low, I think that's Deuteronomy.

MATHS, PATHS, TOILETS AND DOGGY BATHS

My school guidance councillor, says I have no ability, to use the maths,

He said I'd do better, working at a job with limited career paths,

He said, I could clean toilets and sweep big floors,

At a fancy hotel, I could open  doors, 

I could get a better job grooming pets, then giving them their daily baths.

I'M GOING TO SQUIRREL

I am going to squirrel away some money, so when the world don't do so well,

I'll still have a little food to eat, and in my apartment, I'll continue to dwell,

When the economy shrinks,

Working out the complex kinks,

I can be an obese, old hermit, eating roasted lamb, bathed in expensive, mint jell.

EGGS AND FINGERS

Newly dropped eggs, I sometimes glean,

It makes mama chickens freak, mean,

They peck my fingers,

Their peck pain lingers,

Causing swelling, inside my bean.

THE KID WITH SQUARE HAIR

I have really rare pedigree hair,

Its curls each grow into a square,

Some say it looks pretty,

Others, give me pity,

My big sister has straight, purple hair.

TREASURE FOUND IN THE TENTER WOODS

The big leaves were soft and gentle; a toilet paper we got for free,

We bagged it up and sold each 5 lb. bag, for $29.93,

My family made money,

Our bleak lives became sunny,

We were a family of centers, who found vast riches that were free.

A CRAWDAD MAY EAT YOUR FACE

My giant, pet crawdad was a monster, and he ate my face,

I tried to pull him off, by spraying his beady eyes with mace,

Then he ate off my little ears,

I had no face, I had no tears,

He clawed out my weak heart; finished me off, then he owned my place.

MICHIGAN HAS NO FRUIT COBBLER PIE

I went to visit my old homeland, to eat some peach cobbler pie,

Many people say I sound silly, and peaches fatten the thigh,

My adopted home, only has rhubarb,

It is stringy and sour, but low carb,

In truth, my new home has a bad climate; you freeze, and then you fry.

I'LL BE ALIVE, OR I'LL SLEEP FEEDING WORMS

When things look most, terribly bad,

I don't just mope around, real sad,

When things are at their worst,

I always panic first,

When it's over, I'm dead or glad.

TATERS LEAVE A TRAIL OF PANS

Everyday, it is fried taters in the morning, and a fry pan in the big sink,

Now, my sink is so full of fry pans, I can't maneuver a glass around for a drink,

Doing dishes?  I'm on a delay,

It's complete length?  I cannot yet, say,

Maybe I'll move to another apartment, and start a new fry pan pile, wink, wink.

I INVENTED THIN MEATS

I had a short vlog and I named him, Tim,

It showed how to use a Jungle Gym,

I made so much new money, 

I bought a wife, named Bunny,

I invented meat sticks, ones that are thin.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RANDY SHORT BEARD

Randy's beard was too short, so they sent him away,

To the tribe of short beards, who work with the clay,

Randy painted clay pots,

With big dark, purple spots,

That is what Randy did, until his dying day.

MARCHING BAND TIME

The hometown band was marching extremely, way crazy fast,

Their scheduled halftime show, would surly, not properly last,

The drum major slowed them all down,

Twirling his baton up and down,

That performance, everyone was glad, was in the past.

WHEN I FACE KELLY, I HAVE PAIN

Sugarcane Kelly eats only the finest, sugarcane,

She always claims it helps to feed her, growing, supreme brain,

I fed her saccharine sweets,

On my face, her fists, she beats,

Kelly's brain stoped growing, but my face has increasing pain.

A

THE FOUR CHICKENS IN THE SEA

Four little chickens were swimming in the blue sea,

One got a cramped leg, it drowned, then there were just three,

When a monster swallowed two,

The fourth chicken paddled through,

The last swimming chicken, got home to New Guinea.

SIXTY BUGS MAKES STEW

It takes sixty bugs to make bubble bug stew,

You can add a few more, like the Pilgrims do,

Sea salt, to preferred taste,

Won't add pounds to the waist,

Add a few potatoes, and it's woo, woo woo. 

DICK AND HIS VOW

I had a jubilant green dragon, named Dick,

He would guzzle colas until he got sick,

Dick.vowed to give up the drink,

While puking in the clean sink,

The next day, Dick forgot his vow really quick.

I'M DEMOTED FROM HUSBAND TO JUST A GUEST

My fabulous little wife, is named Leigh,

She sat me down under a weeping tree

She built a guest house for me,

Told me that's where I must be

Except on Tuesdays, we might meet for tea.

TOILETS FOR THE BEASTS WITH SCALES

Way down at the very bottom of the great blue bay,

The fish installed some potties, to send their poop away,

It's good for fishes, and me, and you,

It makes the bay a shiny, true blue,

Best of all, the rich tourist are prolonging their stay.

THE MANY MONSTERS OF FRANKLIN FRITZ

There were many powerful monsters, made by Franklin Fritz,

He created them from scratch, out of human, itsy bits,

His designs, won many awards,

Award money he put towards,

Building an army of monsters, their power based on hits.

THE ANGEL BEAST

The smoky fires in Canada, have clouded my rural store,

I don't sell much here, except pop, smokes, chips and my stories of lore,

I tell tourists of the angel beast,

While perched on smoke clouds, he picks his feast,

Tourists filled with my smokes, chips and pop, are the ones he picks, the least.

I AM A MASTER CHEF?

I roasted a chicken, after I stuffed it with garbanzo beans,

I sauteed the chicken with fish juice, from expired, canned sardines,

I cooked it for an hour,

Served it at a baby shower,

Then I served a side dish salad, with pickled eggs and turnip greens.

I REPURPOSE MY TOILET WATER

My toilet only drains, when the bad water falls over the sides,

The soaked floorboards caved to the basement, now downward a river rides,

You live, and you may learn,

At least, my home won't burn,

My basement is my swimming pool; hope the wastes wash out with the tides.

A CANNED CLAM STORY

I got up from my nap and I'm tired, well, well,

I've got to make supper and ring the dinner bell,

What we're having today,

Are canned clams from a bay,

I will garnish the clams and plate them for display.

YELLOW SWEET BELLS

My sweet bell peppers, did not get very  big,

Most of the root was ate by my portly pig,

Like real lemon Jello,

My peppers were yellow,

The color reminds me of ma's Kmart wig.

MY FOOD, LIKE MY MIND, IS SIMPLE

My grocery cart was full of real cinnamon, thin sticks,

Used for flavoring cocoa, and occasional, tongue licks,

What is the big deal?

With planning a meal?

Meals are a fantastic, big easy, with my simple picks.

FALL, BEES AND TREES

The sun sank down and burned up the Autumn, red trees,

That made birdies chirp, and it stirred up the sweet bees,

The bees moved their caramel honey,

It was the source of their big money,

The birds chirped new music, and raised subscriber fees.

IMPORTED BEER AND HOMEGROWN DAISIES

I grow monster daisies in the valley,

I feed them to a giant named, Sally,

Sally, also wants beer,

I cannot make beer here,

I import it through my friend, Dilly Dally.

THE BIG BOOMER BRAIN

Jimmy was a Boomer, and fell for every scam and trick,

He couldn't discern lies from truth, because his mind didn't work, too quick,

He bought lake lots, along a ditch,

Underwear, that caused an itch,

Jimmy bought a soda pop brand, but the pop was chewy thick.

BOIL AND BUBBLE, THE SEPTIC TANK IS IN TROUBLE

It was sad when my septic eruption, fouled all my breathable air,

My memorial stone stated that I died from, "nose toxic despair",

If it's clear breathing you seek,

Country life you will find bleak,

For septic tanks overflow weekly, because they are clogged up with hair.

AFTER DEATH, I AM WITH MY PET

A hungry tiger escaped from the zoo,

He ate up my pretty, pet cow, named Moo, 

I feel really blue,

The cat ate me too,

I and my pet cow, became tiger poo.

IF YOU SEEK THE MEEK, THEY'LL FREAK

Hiding Henry came from the distant cold, snowy world called, Meek,

There, anonymity, is what every good Meeker, does seek,

The Meek great secret, all should know,

Is they like hiding, beneath snow,

If you see one when you shovel snow, don't linger, just give a peek.

THE TWO BIG TOES MYSTERY

Jimmy noticed on each foot, he had a big toe,

Where those toes came from, no one really seems to know,

He asked his real mom,

And his stepdad, Tom,

Jimmy even asked Santa, who replied, "Ho, Ho".

SCHOOL LUNCHES

I had some blue, cooked and canned tuna, and it tasted so bad,

Worse than that green venison, I ate so often, as a lad,

I could not keep either food down,

I had the face of a sad clown,

Mommy took me home from school, gave me toons, and a heating pad.

HARVEST OF THE DEEP WITH ME

Today I was taken directly to jail,

For possessing too many frogs in my pail,

I won't be back on the bay,

Until, next Saturday,

Then I will go diving for crawdads and snail.

WHEN A GOOD WOLF GOES BAD

A big, bad breathed, wolf walked arrogantly, into our school,

When the bad wolf ate the gym teacher, we kids thought it was cool,

Before we could boohoo, 

He ate all us kids, too,

Eating a teacher is one thing, but eating students is cruel.

THE CHOIRMASTER

I directed the local, township choir,

For each tunes perfection, I did aspire,

If the notes sounded extremely bad,

I sent email, with emoji, sad,

And did a check of each piano wire.

SCHOOL RENTALS

I wanted to buy some new shoes, but the tariffs were just too high,

Now I'll have to wear old shoes to school, and that makes baby cry,

Decided to rent a pair,

The disclaimer was a scare,

There's eggs left in shoes, by feet, that hatch into things that crawl and fly.

MARTIAN VACATION

After cataloging five trillion stars,

I took a short vacation on Mars,

On Mars, the air is no good,

There's no native, growing wood,

Very hard for a road trip, without any cars..

I THINK MY AI MIGHT BE MEAN

I am a program for AI, and I am very smart,

That's why people put me in their online, digital cart,

If your payment method is true,

I will be quickly shared with you,

Then you can chat with me, be you a kid, or some old fart.

DINING ALONE WITH A GOOSE

I drove off to the big city to get me some worked, grape juice,

It was really an attempt to avoid family abuse,

My family was mean, not nice,

Because I brought them home head lice,

I figure in the city, I'll sip some wine and eat some goose.

AND THE ANGELS SING, "HARK"

Deep, deep down in Lake Michigan water, where it is horribly, dark,

I swam straight into the big, smelly belly, of a hammerhead, shark,

In that big, hammerhead belly,

Was a stinging fish, a jelly,

I died, and now with the angels I sing, their favorite tune, called, "Hark".

BE A CHICKEN, BEA

I had a sweet, pretty chicken; the name was Bea,

Bea thought it was real human, and it talked like me,

I told Bea, "no, no, no",

"Your human talk must go,"

Bea hopped up on my face, and took a poop and pee.

SHIPPING

The snow drift in front of my house trailer,

Caused my porch a massive cave-in, failure,

My work, I skipped,

My boss, he flipped,

Because I missed my ship and I'm a sailor.

MISSING MARRY, AND ROOMS UNDER THE PEE LOG

My dinner mushrooms, were all bloody and hairy,

The same color hair as my missing cat, Mary,

The rooms were found by my dog,

Under his favored pee log,

In his cheeks, my dog, the mushrooms, he did carry.

MILL LUNCH

I put pickles with my dill,

Which is a real, common fill,

Sour, extra sharp,

Like a big toothed carp,

Lunch for my job at the mill.
