THE DOCTOR'S BILL

Sydney was such a pill,
He couldn't remember to pay his doctor's bill,
Through his mental disturbance,
He caused much perturbance,
Now, he has a room with no window or sill.

I SHOT MY SLINGSHOT STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR

I shot my slingshot straight up into the air,
My shot went way, way, way, way, way, way up there,
The shot fell from up there so far,
Through the windshield of my car,
Now, my slingshot has brought me despair.

IGNORING ONLINE VERBAL MEANIES LIMERICK

So many people are bitter,
When they make pronouncements on twitter,
But, Rose tweets all day long,
And, relies on her bong,  
To ignore the verbal meanies who hit her.

A RARE-BOURBON OR A BUCK AND A QUARTER FOR BEER

Passionate Pete Porter
Was a rare-bourbon snorter,
But, one day he tried beer,
Then, his new passion was clear,
And, each glass cost just a buck and a quarter.

MOLLY MELANCHOLY FOUND A CAREER

Molly was so melancholy,
She went to funerals to feel jolly,
And, at the service where others would mourn,
She'd crack a soda and eat popcorn,

While other girls at night would roam,
Molly spent her nights at the funeral home,
Molly so much loved the death tradition,
Molly studied and became the town mortician.

MY LIFE NEXT TO A CHEMICAL PLANT

The well water from my tap looks really funny,
It's brown and gooey and not very runny,
Now, it might be caused by the chemical plant next door,
And, what they were dumping the night before,

But, at least it's easier to breathe the air,
For what they dumped on the ground was not burned in their care,
And, at least in part it was answered; my healthy environment prayer,
 For only in part do I have a toxic chemical scare.

WHEN I WENT TO SEE THE BEARS

When I was a little boy I would beg my parents to take me to see the bears.  So, my parents would drive out to the garbage dump and there we'd watch the black bears; the big ones, the little ones and all the in-betweens.  The bears rummaged through all the waste on the ground as they stirred up an airborne sea of flies.  The stench made me sick to my stomach but, the bears didn’t seem to mind as they dug their noses deep into the heaps of stinking cans, papers and broken dishes.  And, they turned over with their great paws old shredded tires, looking for their dinner.  

We’d watch the bears from the car until it started to get dark.  By that time there were a lot of bears mulling around the dump and they were getting closer and closer to the car.  Then, when the light was really dim, we drove up the dirt road to the main road leaving the bears to continue hunting for a meal.  So, I got to see the bears.  I was a very spoiled little boy.

THE WIND BLOWS AND BLOWS AND BLOWS LIMERICK

The wind blows and blows and blows,
My trailer's roof into the sky it goes,
Then, away went the doors,
The walls and the floors,
From the basement I numbered my woes.

MY TARGET BOW

I decided to try out my target bow,
I pulled back the string and let it go,
But, here's the thing,
When I let go of the string,
It snapped my fingers and that caused me great woe.

THE LOVES OF MISS TAM

My dear little lady Miss Tam,
Was the peanut butter that I thought went with my jam,
But, her first love was for another,
Namely, her overprotective mean mother,
Then, her next love was cabbage rolls full of ham.

THE JANUARY GRIZZLY BEAR THAW AND KNAW

During this last January thaw,
Out from the snow flailed a grizzly bear's claw,
So, I ran away,
Still am running today,
But, the grizzly will soon have me for a knaw.

A giant tuna robbed my fridge,
And, what was taken?

The tuna fried my bacon on a high mountain ridge.

MY COW DRANK WATER FROM MICHIGAN'S FLINT RIVER LIMERICK

My cow wandered down to the Flint River to drink,
She took only one sip and then she turned bright pink,
Now, she no longer gives milk,
But, all day just spits silk,
It's the river water that caused this I think.

SOMEONE STOLE MY LUNCHBOX

I'm kind of a saver, clever fox,
Saving money by taking my lunch,
But, each day my lunchbox was stolen,
Along with my thermos full of punch,

I tried to protect my black lunch box,
And, I was not very vague,
I had written on it in red marker,
"BELONGS TO VICTIM OF BUBONIC PLAGUE,"

But, my lunchbox still went missing,
Along with my thermos full of punch,
Now, it's restaurant soup I am kissing,
And, my budget has suffered a crunch.

SALESMAN ON THE ROAD LIMERICK

To get up early every day,
And, write an itinerary by which to play,
It's a meaningless job,
For every Tom, Dick and Bob,
It's the life of a salesman gone away.

Because last Thanksgiving you see I stole,
At the Thanksgiving feast,
The wishbone of the beast,
And mom's sterling silver gravy bowl.

IT''S NEW YEARS EVE AND I'M WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON KING TUT

It’s New Years Eve and my girl Mary,
Ran off with some dude she called Barry,
Even my pup ran off with some mutt,
Leaving me watching a documentary on the life of king Tut,

I’m so very glad that this year,
Has reached its imminent demise,
I shed not a single tear,
I hope next year I’ll be wise,

No girlfriends for me,
No pets for me anymore,
I’ll cherish the time I am free,
While only myself I’ll adore.

He swam around and around again,
All in circles he went,
Till his fuel was all spent,
Then a big catfish made him his din.

Because, dairy makes my kinfolk wheeze,

He was always unhappy in his head,
He looked down and not up,
Like some sad little pup,
While blue skies hid dark clouds in their stead.

I WONDER WHERE MY TOOLS ALL WENT

I wonder where my tools all went,
Did the neighbor bring back the ones I lent?
Did someone find my tools had quite an appeal,
And, take the time to just out-and-out steal?
Was it my cousin or brother?
Or, maybe grandmother?
If I didn't need tools it wouldn't be such a big deal.

When I bragged about my fabulous crib,

With my tar papered shack,
And, jabbed her elbow right into my rib.

Or, on the floor you will be vomit blot'en.

PEABODY SMITH

Peabody Smith sat on a hill,
He was drinking his brandy,
And having a thrill,

Peabody looked out on his city with delight,
Then the mosquitoes swarmed him,
They started to bite,

He threw off his jigger and ran away,
The mosquitoes kept swarming,
They found Peabody next day,

A coroner happened to be handy, 
He said Peabody lost every last drop of blood,
Filling the mosquitoes with brandy.

With whopping wicked ways,
He cried over each labor cost report,

Then, he’d replace those workers Ono, dos, tress,

Bye, bye heat wave with the new falling rain, 
But, the lightning strike has caused me so much pain, 
I know that I’m not dead,
Cause I feel pain in my head, I can’t afford a hospital bed, 
So, I’ll drink some homemade hooch instead.
