I AWOKE FROM A COMA

I woke up from a coma, and I am nothing but bones,

I lost all of my fat and my impressive muscle tones,

I spent ten years as a pile,

Dwindling away, all of the while,

I cannot see in color, because I lost my eye cones.

THE ROCK NESTERS

I listened to the band, Rock Nesters, when I was a tween, rage boy,

They were an aging birdie band, but they sang of true love and joy,

The Rock Nesters Band, 

Toured across the land,

They should have lasted longer, but each loved their manager,

 Coy Roy.  

ZIPPY EATS TIPPY

I had a toothy, pet fish, his name was Zippy,

Zippy went to the head, for a Tippy rippy.

HONEY BEAR, TUESDAY FREAK

There is a big, smelly, honey bear, named Tuesday Freak,

Bears seek out Freaks podcast, if it's right wing news they seek.

With scrambled eggs on the side,
And venison steak grilled with pride,
Such foods to my senses they caters.

I SHOWED THE MOSS JUST WHO IS BOSS

My roof was all covered with green moss,
Some fertilizer, I gave a toss,
The moss dried up and it died,
I take belligerent pride,
In showing moss just who is the boss.

DINNER WITH A KING

I went fishing and caught one big, beautiful, king salmon fish,

I cooked it in the oven, after I put it in a dish,

Out of the oven, the fish smelled fine,

Tasted great with cranberry, red wine,

After dinner and making merry, a nap was my first wish.

MISDEMEANOR BOB WITHOUT BAIL

PUT THE GOLDFISH TO WORK

I have a big, all orange goldfish that I named Mr. Tew,

Then I'll get goldfish Mr. Three, and he'll make stuff with glue.

COMPOST PILE FIRES HAVE CONSEQUENCES

My compost pile caught fire and burned down my garden shack,
Now when I'm done working I have no place to put tools back,
So, my tools lay in the yard,
Getting rusty, crusty hard.
And, I cannot replace them because the finances I lack.

MY GOOGLE IS FADING AWAY

I googled my given name and what news did I find?

I found my reputation has steadily declined,

After work, washing dishes,

On the beach, near the fishes,

I'll fall asleep after drinking some cheap, homemade wine.

BALLS, PINS, RASPBERRIES AND SINS

It's a wild, wild raspberry ride,

As big bowling balls and large pins collide,

The bouncing of pins,

Is like forgiveness of sins,

A new found peace, once the bounces subside.

IN THE SHALLOWS THERE BE TURTLES

Four little fish were having such fun,
Swimming beneath the bright morning sun,
They swam in the shallows,
Which turned into a gallows,
The turtles ate every single one.

BAD TOAD

A toad hopped upon my tablecloth, expecting to eat for free,

I had roast chicken, corn and taters, I cooked up for only me, 

On my table, I laid out my meal,

A great dinner, with an eye appeal,

I told the toad to "get"; he lifted his leg, and commenced to pee.

THE TOAST GHOST MADE ME COAST

When for breakfast, I prepared me some toast,

It fell on the floor and became a meal ghost,

So, with no toast to fill,

My stomach went ill,

Then, all day at my job I did coast.

WHY I'M HIDING IN THE BARN

There was a goblin in my shower,

He was nine feet tall, that goblin tower,

He was all teeth and scales,

So, I made screams and wails, 

Then, I ran to the barn where I cower.

BITES AND THRIFTING

I'm low on funds, so I went thriftng at a little thrift store,

I bought fancy, fashion jeans, and nifty shirts that I adore,

Ringworm, head lice and gross, scabies,

Today I used the fire pit, burned my clothes, now I feel poor.

SNOUT PARTY

I went to Midland Michigan to buy me a pig,

A pig that would work hard, using his pig snout to dig,

I wanted truffles to eat,

Trained pigs can smell truffle meat,

With truffles and ham, my dinner party will be big.

IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCHEME

My mind drifted, lost in space, where I could scheme,

About how I could get on the grammar school tether ball team,

I decided to replace short Paul,

By saying the ball was too tall,

I replaced Paul on the team, and realized a scheme got me my dream.

NO POINT COMPLAINING TO JACK

I rose up to the city with the towers of glass,

I got a coffee to go,

The service was slow,

I told the waiter; he yelled at me, what a jack sass.    

MY TAINTED TUNA

My tuna fish was kind of tainted,

With blue and green dots it was painted,

Although, it was my main course,

It smelled like sweat from my horse,

With the garbage the tuna was acquainted.

MY NEIGHBOR EATS DIGITS

Your neighbor next door down, knows,

That you have juicy fingers and toes,

As the neighbor's belly gets tight,

He'll definitely take a bite,

And back, your lost digit, never grows.

FLOWER GARDEN OR LAWN?

My tiny, sick  panzy would not grow,

My little, white lillies, they grow slow,

My roses are all dead,

Both the pink and the red,

If things don't turn around soon, I'll mow.

THE ARMY OF FOREST MONSTERS IS COMING

The evil monsters are no longer hiding in the deep woods,

They want to take my simple home, and my hard toiled for goods,

Alone, I have no choice, but to fight,

Forty to one odds are very tight,

My last thoughts are for my family; I'm joining them tonight.

PATCHES DUG HOLES LIMERICKS

Patches was a dog who liked to did holes,
He dug up frogs and mice and little ground moles,
But, on one fine day,
Patches went away some say,
When a snake made Patches part of his fat rolls.

Patches dug holes to bury his meals,
Patches dug holes to hide the kids cars, called Hot Wheels,
Patches was nice to your face,
But, he'd bury your briefcase,
Patches will bury most everything he steals.

ALIEN TRANSFORMATION B

Look what those bad, alien Martians came and done to me,

He lived with the horses in a stall,

BENNY COLLECTED COINS OF SILVER AND GOLD

Benny collected coins of silver and gold,
They came from the mint, authenticated, I’m told,
He should have been very rich,
But there was some sort of hitch,
The price didn’t go up, until after he sold.

Benny collected coins found out in the deep, blue sea,
The coins were from pirate treasure, as rare as can be,
But Benny had very bad fate,
For the coins were modern of date,
The oldest date Benny had, was just 2003.

I WENT SALMON FISHING IN THE SPRING? LIMERICKS

I went salmon fishing early this spring,
I was pulled in like a real ding-a-ling,
The fish pulled me down river,
The cold gave me a shiver,
I don't know if it was a coho or king.

I went salmon fishing in the early spring,
But, salmon run in the fall and that's the thing,
I did get my wish,
I hooked a big fish,
He yanked my arm off and my gold ring.

I went salmon fishing in the spring,
I hooked onto a big log or some other big thing,
I had very bad luck,
My bait would not come unstuck,
My line broke and made a loud ping.

A SAD BUGLE MEMORY

School is back, and I took my golden bugle to school,

I play it between classes; I'm the kid who looks cool,

But when I play sad taps,

It reminds me of paps,

And the day I found him lying face down in the pool.

I AM WHAT I ATE, SO I STAY HOME

If I were what I eat, I would be a big bow shaped noodle,

That is the food I eat, and I share it with my toy poodle,

I look like a big pimple soar,

I don't consume them, anymore,

I stay in the house, and with crayons and paper, I doodle.

MY FIRST HABOOB

I was caught in my very first major haboob,

I lost all my internet and had no YouTube,

I felt my sad heart race

When there was no MySpace,

I would have played trombone, but I had no slide lube.

THAT GNOME GAVE ME RABIES

I went to the woods to find firewood for home,
There I met a mean, nasty, evil, dumb, old gnome,
I'm not sure which was worse,
His deep bite or his curse,
I got rabies and my mouth is starting to foam.

MY LITTLE TEKKI TORCH

Nothing survived the scorch.

It felt like the fall of mighty Rome,

When Ned lost all the hair on his dome,

At just age twenty-five,

He had hair plugs, and scalp treatment foam.

BABOON DATE NIGHT

I opened up a large can of tuna,

I shared it with my cute baboona,

We climbed some trees,

Chewed on some leaves,

We held hands, and stared at the moona.

SUZIE THE SNAPPING TURTLE DID ME IN

There was a snapping turtle named Suzie,
She thought that she would pull a real doosey,

Then my boat would not float,
Drowning made me feel really oozey,

Although,  divorced from his spouse,

He lived alone there for years, in a non-hygienic way.

SQUIRREL OBLIGATIONS (THE NUT)

The little squirrel had a nut that had grown, so very big,

He had to cut off his cable, and his bad habit, the cig,

He didn't buy new shoes,

And, swore off the booze,

He took overtime at his day job, and looked for a side gig.

ME AND MY MATHS

I really hate doing all of my college prep, maths,

More than taking early morning, cold showers, and baths,

My teach, she grades real hard, so mean,

Reports each mistake, to the dean,

Now, dean's charted me some custodial career paths.

And, the taste sweat out through all his pores.

BREAKFAST OF THE BLUEBERRY LOSER

And someone's chewed chaw,

And it's gritty, and chews just like hard clay.

MY BELLY AILS FROM FISH BONES AND SCALES

I went ice fishing and caught 3 tiny fish,

The Pattie gave my belly ails,
I should have stayed home, that's what I wish.

THE SONG OF INDIANA

I went over to Indiana, to sing my gramma nana song,

It's about life in the dark heart, hinterland, and stabbing with a prong,

You see, nana jumped her bail,

Yes, dear nana is a fail,

Now she is back in prison, but won't admit, ax murdering is wrong.

KABOOM JACK IS BACK IN SPIRIT.

Jack was in a real dark room, and smelled foul gas, greatly leaking,

OFFICE WORKER LIMERICK

Pam tapped her black, shiny keyboard, as she typed tippy tap,

THE EYEBALL OOZE NEWS

I like to share all of my good and bad reviews and news,

Like, how fat I am getting, and how long I did snooze,

Today, while I let some fish fry,

Grease spat into my better eye,

It burned through my big, black eyeball, and my eyeball did ooze.   

THE SHEEP KEEPER

I bought me an old country farm to raise me free roaming sheep,

Roaming sheep are so very pretty, and quite easy to keep,

Here is the real deal,

They get a free meal,

But if they get in front of my pickup, they get a beep, beep.

Corn

I raised four generations of corn,

A fifth is yet unborn,

At the first sign of day,

My corn will pop through the clay,

Then the city crop will be born.

LITTLE WIGGINS THE PIG POEMS

Little Wiggins the pig was not very smart,
He borrowed lots of money to buy a go-cart,
Little Wiggins didn't work,
So, like a real jerk,
He didn't pay for his cart from the start.

Little Wiggins the pig lived on a farm,
Little Wiggins the pig did nobody harm,
But, Wiggins ran up some debt,
And, made farmer Joe upset,
Now, Joe wears a pigtail as a charm.

A MEANINGLESS, WHIMSICAL PHILOSOPHY

The universe appears eternal, from dawn, to dawn, to dawn, to dawn,

But, when the universe disappears, its life will be a tiny yawn,

So head to mars,

Maybe, the stars,

Eat expensive seafood, like lobster, oysters, crabs, octopus and prawn.

THE BUG IS THE WINNER, TODAY

There once was a small bug that lived in a tuna tin,

He had a hard shell, and not one bit of living skin,

He stayed clear of the mice,

Ignored the little lice,

Each day the bug survived, the bug considered a win.
