The Deceit That Cost Me Toes

There was a volcano down the street

It burnt my shoelaces; burnt off my feet,

Because when the lava flows,

If you don't run you lose toes,

Donald said things were fine but, that was a deceit.

Artificial Turkey Meat

I'm eating artificial meat,

It tastes like turkey; at least the feet,

It chews like gum,

That's been shared with some,

And, the smell is like a condemned toilet seat.

CLEANING TEETH APPOINTMENT HAIKU

APPOINTMENT NOTICE,

CHECKOUT, BILL, SHOCK, PAIN

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KIDNEY CAKE

I ate at a friend's place and they served kidney cake,

It did not taste good so, my compliments were all fake,

Then, after a quick toilet puke,

I gave no rebuke,

But, not one extra serving I'd take.

WHERE STARS SHOULD NEVER BE

I am pondering on a web of stars where, I don't think stars should ever be,

They're inside my kitchen oven within some fourth dimension reality,

They came from my exploding fruitcake,

Which I tried to mix-n-bake,

I should have only used one egg instead, my brain suggested three.

THE EMPEROR OF BEANS RULES ALL

There is no greater power than the Emperor of Beans,

He has turned the heads and soiled the beds of emperors, kings and queen,

No one can cleanly pass,

His unstable gas,

If that's what the Emperor deems.

BE CAREFUL CUTTING DOWN TREES

I went outside and cut down a tree,

I did it wrong and it fell on me,

So, now I slouch,

With eternal ouch,

And, drink only chamomile herb tea.

NEEDS AND MAKE BELIEVE

In the real world we need to find: warmth, water, food, shelter and some form of carnal happiness.

Everything else is just a world of make believe.

MY COMPLAINT ABOUT WORMS (IN MY SOUP)

I complained about a worm in my soup,
It squirmed around in a loop,

For, at the bottom of the bowl was a group.

That is poured out in fluorescent pink,

And, for a week your breath will just stink.

AT THE END OF THE WORLD

At the end of the world I moved into a box,

I ran out of beer so, I was forced to detox,

So, when a zombie came by,

I let it bite me to numb me with pox.

THE BEAR VOTE

I decided to try to vote today,

Past armed guards claiming they have the last say,

The gunnies gave me no scare,

For I brought along my pet bear,

The gunnies soon cleared out of my way.

ARMAGEDDON MAKES MY LIMERICKS CRY

We all looked up into a pale blue sky,

And saw Armageddon on the fly,

The great fireball did not tarry,

To make my earth a cemetery,

No where to hide so, I guess we die.

Armageddon in the November fall,

So, the holidays won't come at all,

And me, the plague did not kill,

I Stayed home with my grill,

Now, my cruel earth dies by a sky fireball.

THE LIMERICK OF SOMEONE

Someone ate some pork chops and beans,

Someone ate some big leafy greens,

Someone ate some more,

Someone barfed some on the floor,

Someone feels sorry for someone who comes and cleans.

He was arrested for exposing his tail,

I Was Abused On Social Media

Somebody just called me a "Bot,"

It's a term I'm familiar with, not,

I felt some abuse,

From the word's negative use,

So, I called my name caller a "Snot."

I VOTED IN SECRET FOR A HIGHER WAGE

I cast my vote long before election day,

I voted for higher wages on my minimum pay,

I dare not tell my boss,

Or, he'll give my bum a toss,

Then, I wouldn't get any richer if at home I had to stay.

THE BUG DINER II

Eating bugs at a diner is nothing new,

Except, if the bugs are on the menu,

While at the Bug Shack,

You get caterpillars by the rack, 

And, spiders scraped fresh from a shoe. 

MY BEST FRIEND PARANOIA

Paranoia is my best friend,
It protects me from dangers that lie around every bend,
For round each bend I just know,
The boogeyman's planing me woe,
My friend says "run away to defend."

QUEST FOR DUST

I went to get some pixie dust but, could not find a pixie,

Some said I should look up north, others said I should whistle Dixie,

Looked along a stream that glaciers fed, 

Alas, there was no pixie dust,

Just some gold and silver crust,

It seems my trip was one big bust,

So, I give up, I guess I must.

I CAN'T READ: I'M ON SOCIAL MEDIA

While driving along in real big rigs,

She missed the buck but could not steer,
She may still eat figs, just not around here.

TIME IN A THROTTLE

If I could put time in a throttle,

I'd set my spaceship to lightspeed and cruise,

At lightspeed I don't scare,

For I'm a tired old bear,

I'd go to the back of my spaceship and snooze.

  

THE CATFISH ODE IN C MINOR

The catfish has great fortitude,

And, just a bit of an attitude,

The catfish is not dainty,

Bottom feeding on stuff tainty,

A free roamer with a land catitude.

My Planet Far Beyond

I come from a planet far beyond your yellow star, the sun,

It's the planet of toys where all just play and have great fun,

While my people all love slacking,

Your people are fun, lacking,

And, you manage your relations with a gun.

A LESSON IN GRAVITY THANKS TO MY SWEET TOOTH

THE UNIVERSE DREAMS

As we master connections through entanglement schemes,

With connected tissues that have no wires or beams,

With understanding or not,

We live out the plot,

Forever as the universe dreams,

We've found the alpha and omega at last,

Unified space and tme; present, future and past,

And, in this reality we face,

What defines our place?

Well, we're more audience and not the stars in the cast.

COLLECTING COINS FOR UTILITY BILLS

When I was young at numismatics I was a wonder,

I went through pocket change looking for rare coins to plunder,

Alas, I grew up and those thrills,

Ended with utility bills,

Which ravaged my collection asunder.

The Rare Bird

I'm a rare bird because I like to learn,

Not to make money; I have no ambition to earn,

I do think it's vital,

I receive the teacher title,

Then, my knowledge from you folks, I'll return.

I CHASED OFF A,POACHER AND SHARED A BEER WITH MY BEAR

I LOVE THE OLD APPLE TREE

But, a real steady provider,

One catch, I married an old apple tree.

A WITCHES CURSE AND MY CAR PASSED GAS

INVESTING

I was taught to invest and to save,
It was the only way to behave,
But, things are not sunny,

THE MONKEY IN THE CAGE LIMERICK

There was a monkey in a cage,
His incarceration filled him with rage,
If you wanted his scoop,

Interpretation: he hates this age.

VAPING AND THE MULTIVERSE DON'T MIX

A creature came from the multiverse and it was really bad,

It's secretions dissolved things like my brother, mom, and dad,

Their demise led me to almost escape,

But, I had to stop and vape,

My mom said vaping was habit forming but, I learned too late, so sad.

I COME DOWN WITH DISEASE

I went on a trip and come down with disease,

With my ratio of lost weight,

I've confirmed an end date, 

Unless, the angels keep me going to tease.

The First Frost This Fall

On this chilled, frosty morning my red car has turned white,

My bright, beautiful garden has died overnight,

I look on with despair,

Then, decide I don't really care,

I'm climbing back into my bed to sleep tight.

LIFE BEYOND THE ROAD CONES

Way up north in Michigan beyond where the highway ends with cones,

The snow is so damn deep, it's beyond all habitable zones,

That's where I built my cabin; up on Iceberg Bay,

Where even bugs and vermin will never try to stay,

Of course, it's where trees will never grow,

So, no firewood juts through the snow,

And, a nice warm fire is really rare,

Since, all there is to burn is your own hair,

For your food you must ice fish,

There are only carp but, they fulfill my wish,

Carp are the only food upon my dish,

A price that I pay to live in far, north Mich.

To the big cities I will never flee,

I'd rather freeze and starve and embrace misery,

In the cities you are restricted where you crap and pee,

But, there's no restrictions beyond the road cones and that's called free.

No Coffee Grounds So, I'll Make Job Hunting Rounds

Oh where, oh where did my coffee grounds go?

I couldn't buy new coffee because I ran out of doe,

So, I looked for grounds in the sink and in the trash,

Alas, at work I'll be fired when, I'm caught moving slow.

THE GAS GIANT

I went to a planet just made up of gas,

It was the kind that only a mean giant would pass,

But, turned around and didn't go,

What if the giant left me a planet with mass?

Trolls thrive where humans keep their tombs,

Trolls eat on humans time exhumbs,

 For mortal bones,

Aren't held by stones,

For weather cast them out their wombs.

THE EARLY, EARLY FROST

A chill came down from the north

It froze my melons at noon August 4th,

And, all of my corn,

Had frostbite by next morn,

So, no food in my freezer I'll storeth.

RUNNY ROBBIE

About every other date, Robbie got a runny nose,

And, if he tried to ignore it, the run would drip down on his clothes,

Robbie finally, gave no care,

Hoping his date was unaware,

Until Robbie felt the run in between his toes.

REVENGE OF THE DAMNED

A beaver put up a dam,

It flooded just where I am,

Because of what he did,

It cost me many a quid,
But, some dynamite gave his dam a bam!!!

THE LEAGUE OF ONE EYES

I play darts in the league of One Eyes,

None of us are too good; that's no surprise,

We have piercings galore,

Each game we bleed sore,

But, we're happy if nobody dies.

WHEN THE WIND BLEW MY ROADKILL

When the wind blew up the street,

It dried my roadkill, made it tough meat,

Might been bear, might been turkey,

It was hard chewing jerky,

But, the road tar made it sweet.  

SOMEONE HIT MY GARBAGE CAN TONIGHT

Someone hit my garbage can earlier tonight,

The can ruptured, the bags split and, the contents became blight,

Now, I had taken to rest,

Decided patience was best,

And, by morn my garbage had blown out of sight.

THE NIGHT BEFORE MORN

I turned my dark, night backyard into day,

With my sodium light display,

And, with my gas grill before the morn,

I toasted wieners and roasted corn,

Then, I got out my trumpet and blew that horn.

I SPEAK FEW WORDS AND UNDERSTAND FEWER

I speak few words and understand almost none,

I like animal speech because it is more fun,

Growling and biting,

Are just more exciting,

Especially, when it makes people run.

COPING WITH YOUR HYGIENE

When everyone offers you a breath mint,

While, shampoo is suggested to eliminate lint, 

And, being gifted with bar soap,

Means that you need to cope,

And, your hygiene goes beyond just a hint.

DONNY IS IN BAD SHAPE

Donny got athletes foot disease,

But, Donny was no athlete, just a political sleaze,

Of course, Donny's bowls were far worse,

A family curse,

His bowels might move or, sometimes just tease.

VELCRO: NO STRINGS ATTACHED

Velcro shoes are a safe, easy fun,

But, they are not for everyone,

Some like long strings,

Such personal things,

But, they'll send you on a trip when you run.

OH, NO ODE

I went down to the old damn where the water flowed,

It looked so awfully pretty I wanted to compose an ode,

Alas, for my ode I had no gimmick,

So, I composed a silly limerick,

And, all the critics said it was a major manure load.
