I CURE THE BLUES

When I'm having a bad day and feeling unhap,
I do the same as what did my old pap,
I binge eat till I'm sick,
Till I'll burst with one prick,
Then, for days I'll do nothing but nap.

TEA AND COOKIES AND BEAR🏑

I was sleeping in my recliner chair,πŸ’Ί
When I got visited by the bear,🐻
He brewed some tea, ☕
Enough for me,πŸ€“
I offered cookies but, for them he didn't care.πŸͺπŸͺπŸͺ







DONNY THE CROOK CURLED UP WITH A BOOK

Donny curled up with a book,
He couldn't read but at the pictures he'd look,
Now, old Donny is retired,
Most say he was fired,
Donny the illiterate is also a crook,

When Donny had his big job at the top,
He filled his pockets with loot non-stop,
And, if a meeting you sought,
With a bribe, time you bought,
But, at the end his crime bubble went pop.




COMBAT FINGER RISING

While taunts and giggles come from their foes,
Some have terrors of the nose,
As boogers fall out and stain their cloths,
The finger rises in combat pose,
To dig out those that cause such woes.




FIRST SPRING SUNDAY IN CORNING

Although early red skies forecast a warning,
The sun shined brightly this Sunday morning,
And, the robins that paired,
Built nests so, they cared,
On this first spring Sunday in Corning.

ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT MISSED SPORTS EVENT

I thought I'd watch some hockey
But, I passed out drinking sake,
It was real late on my tic tocky,
So, I poured some scotch on some cold rocky,
Then, played some recordings of Sebastian Bachy.





SPRING SNOW AND THE PRIMROSE

I wondered where all of my primroses went,
They were under the snow some demon had sent,
Perhaps under my toes,
I crushed my yellow primrose,
Spring snow gives me reason to vent.

MY CHIN HURTS AND I SMELL, ALLEGEDLY

I think I hurt my little chin,
When I got smacked by the 1st violin,
Little Edith Bower,
Told me to shower,
And, if I didn't quit sticking she'd hit me again.

THERE WAS A CRAWDAD NAMED CLAUD

There once was a crawdad named Claude,
His claws were overly broad,
If you gave him one inch,
That's just what he'd pinch,
And, off that inch his claw sawed.

THE SPRING OF DECAY

Spring is here and there's mold on my bread,
The flies are breeding, maggots are fat and well fed,
My food all rots away,
It's all in a state of decay,
At least the food I found under my bed.

WHY SPRING CLEANING?

There are bugs in the carpet and nasty wasps on the wing,
Spider webs are so many that moving air makes them sing,
The dust is so thick,
Every breath makes me sick,
That's why I clean house every spring.

OPERATIONAL TIME TRAVEL

There's no question that I travel through time,
In the natural order it isn't a crime,
But, the direction I travel seems set in stone,
I can't travel to see skin put back on a bone,

Dinosaur bones I can see rebuilt up to the sky,
But, I can only imagine how they could live and or die,
It seems the direction of time takes me only one way,
I can move towards tomorrow but not yesterday,
You see I have often traveled from what did to what does,
But, I have never traversed from what's now to what was.

I REPORTED MY SNOWMAN MISSING

My snowman is missing and nobody cares,
He may have been eaten by cougars or bears,
I reported that he disappeared,
The officer said it wasn't weird,
"Many snowmen are giving friends scares." 

PAM SAW A PIZZA FACE DOWN IN THE STREET-Limerick

Pam saw a pizza face down in the street,
She figured the Pizza was still good to eat,
She didn't mind the bugs,
Or, slimy old slugs,
She got so sick she couldn't stand on her feet.

PICKERS FOUND THE LEPRECHAUN'S GOLD

The poor little Leprechaun was feeling real bad,
For he lost all of his gold and that was so sad,
Then, while watching the antique show Pickers,
He soiled his knickers,
For his gold was the best pick that they had.
 
 
The poor antique show pickers are feeling real bad,
They found the Leprechaun's gold and he got real mad,
They got a pain-in-the-back curse,
And, what was even much worse,
The gold was not solid just clad. 










 

CHEERS TO GRANDMA FLOSSIE HELEN MURPHY ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY

They came in ships from across the sea,
They joined into my family tree,
From County Cork on the Irish Isle,
They brought to America their Irish style,

And, every year I raise a glass,
To the Irish ghosts of kin I pass,
So, to Grandma Murphy I say cheers,
And, God willing I will for many years.

I GOT KICKED OUT OF MARCHING BAND

Because my trumpet made an awful tone,
I was forced to play the sousaphone,
Because I ate too much starch,
My body wouldn't march, 
Now I sit in the bleachers alone.

THE IDES OF MARCH: A TIME TO FEAR

The Ides Of March is a time to fear,
The warming weather skunks my beer,
The softening of the swampy land,
Prepares great traps of quickened sand,

I do not embrace the Ides as dear,
They come each month year after year,
And, on the Ides I am a sleeper,
Thus, I avoid dear Caesar's reaper.


WHAT TO DO ON THE IDES

What to to in March on the Ides?
Unlike Caesar, one runs and one hides,
But, some on this date,
Drink up and celebrate,
That is, if you're lucky at picking best sides.

HILDA BAKED A PIN CHERRY PIE

Hilda baked a pin cherry pie,
She forgot sugar and the tartness makes me cry,
And, if I eat more than one piece,
I fear I'll give up life's lease,
When, my face puckers so tight that I die.

10 AND/OR 8 AVENGED CASESAR

Caesar had a really bad day
He was a war hero but became a fillet,
For the Cleopatra affair,
Gave the Roman Senate a scare,
But, Augustus made the assassins all pay.







THE RETURN OF THE ROBIN RED BREAST

From the south the robin red-breasted came flying,
I was quite tempted and imagined him frying,
Alas, the better angels in me,
Said, "let the red-breasted be free,"
I was appalled, watching the little worms dying.

MOMMA AND I EAT PIE AND THE KIDS EAT BEANS

I feed my family pineapple with pork and beans,
It feeds the little ones through the teens,
But, momma and I,
We eat fruit pie,
So, we're a couple of fats while the kids are all leans.

HOW'S DONNY DOING NOW?

Donny went swimming and got covered with scabs,
Then be foamed at the mouth because he also had rabs,
So, Donny was shoved in the car,
Driven to the ER,
And, was quarantined because of the crabs.







ANGELS HARKING

The dog next door is always barking,
The lark in the tree is always larking,
My parking brakes stay lit after parking,
My leaky marker is always marking,
Those harking angels won't stop harking,
All this sends my brain cells arching.



PHYLLIS HAD A PURPLE PONEY

My wife Phyllis had a purple pony,
It ate and ate all day,
It gave affections that were phony,
When She gave a cooing bray,

I did not like the purple pony,
I did not like her at all,
It ate well while we ate baloney,
And, it kicked down our best stall,

It cost so much to keep the purple pony beast,
We had no money on which to live,
We lived with famine while the monster had feast,
There was no more that I could give,

So, we mortgaged up the farm,
And, spent every cent we could earn,
Just to feed that awful pony,
She ate like we had money to burn,

Finally, I had had enough,
And left my wife and her purple mare,
I had lost my farm and all my stuff,
And, that purple pony did not care.

FREE TEA WARNING

John liked to turn plants in his yard into tea,

Unfortunately, one plant was poison ivy,

John's eyeballs swelled tight,

His skin was all blight,

His core temperature reached one hundred and three.

MY SNOWMAN GOT BURNT IN OUR RELATIONSHIP

I know it's kind of a terrible thing,
But, I burnt my snowman on the first day of spring,
Our relationship is over,
Until, November or October,
I did recover our friendship gold bling. 

MY WARDROBE WAS A ROYAL CRIME

Wearing royal colors got me into court,
I was told my body would soon be a head short,
I got down on my knees,
But, despite all my pleas,
My head became a kicking ball sport.

MY INTERVIEW WITH A PRINCE

I wanted to interview a queen,
But, she said my rag mag was too mean,
But, a prince gave me time
And, confessed to a crime,
That I couldn't repeat without being obscene.







THE LION EATS TONIGHT

The lion eats tonight,
Because the path in the jungle was tight,
I got caught between trees,
Which gave the lion jollies, 
He laughed as he took his first bite.

Beware Michigan Winters

Michigan winters can't be taken with ease,
If you decide for a nap, you've decided to freeze
When winds blow down from aloft,
Internal organs won't stay soft,
And, there's no escape with arthritic knees.

MY LITTLE DOG LEE

I had a feisty Pomeranian named Little Dog Lee,

He would bite down on my pant cuffs and not let them be,

But, when I offered him bacon,

His real desire would awaken,

After that he'd let my pant cuffs hang free.

WINTER SETTLES IN

Winter months have settled in,
Subzero temps make my blue skin,
I know good folk would say I sin,
I warm myself with homemade gin,
The methanol gives me death's grin,
I now rest with the demons, mostly kin.

LEADFOOT PENNY GOT CAUGHT

Penny traveled down the road too fast,
And, became a part of the criminal caste,
So, she got a big fine,
But, Penny didn't whine,
For she violated many times in the past.


CANNED CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WITH NO CHICKEN IN IT MAKE PEOPLE SICK?

There are many noodles in my chicken noodle soup,
But, I see not a piece of chicken in any soup scoop,
Yet, I hear soup gurgles in soup filled bellies,
Fellow soup eaters have tainted soup belly yellies,
I fear a cumming bathroom blitz with this troop.

ODE TO MY WOODEN SHOES

When I'm hungry I can always chew,
On my left or right wooden shoe,
When things get really tense,
I have a club for defense,
My shoes get attention from more than a few.

GRANDPA PONG BONG

I went to the Care Home to bring Grandad his bong,πŸ‘΄
He insisted I stay and play a few games of Pong,πŸ“Ί
Gramps was a champ at that game,πŸ†
Got a trophy, methinks "lame,"πŸ™„
You'd think he'd move on to Space Invaders or Kong.πŸ‘½πŸ΅

SPACE LASER 2021

QANON built a laser in space, 
They built it at a record pace,
They're space laser wasn't first,
But, it was the worst,
It's recoil smacked the moon in the face.

THE ICE SHANTY

An ice shanty sat out on the lake,
Where fishermen fish for perch and splake,
The winter winds stopped,
The ice shanty dropped,
Now it's a home for the fish to take.

I CHANGED MY BUSINESS PARTNERS

I decided to change out my business chums,
Because, I couldn't understand their sums,
But, how you choose,
Is why you loose,
I thank goodness for the charity of mums.





WHAT BECAME OF MY SAUSAGE LINKS

I made bean and pepper pork sausage links,

But, my brother-in-laws were both nasty finks,

They ate ten sausages apiece,

Then passed gas like two geese,

And, said that my sausage just stinks.

JIMMY LIKED TO EAT HIS PASTRY

Jimmy liked to eat his pastry,
Once he ate it way too hasty,
He got a belly ache,
And gaseous outtake,
The burps were not all that tasty.

MY CAR IS RUSTY OR PIXIE-DUSTY

My car is sprinkled all with rust,
But, the kids all call it pixie-dust,
Well, the engine is magic,
If magic is tragic,
And, getting somewhere not a must.

THE TEXTING WHILE DRIVING LIMERICK

Texting and driving I just overdo,
That's why I crashed into the  bear cage at the Big City Zoo,
Then, all the bears left their cage,
Went on an eating rampage,
Now, the victim's families are threatening to sue. 

POOR NICK THE NEEDY GOT PEACE FROM THE GREEDY

Nick needed a minimum wage increase,
But, a Senate vote made Nick's hope suddenly cease,
Nick wanted to eat,
And, get a room with some heat,
At least the cold winter wind brought him peace.

I'M THE BOTTOM TO TEACHER'S CURVE

I am proud that teach says I always pull the low score,
Well, he grades on a curve so I sacrifice for the more,
When teacher's trick questions unnerve,
I collapse downward his curve,
Of course, many years I have crossed teacher's door.

TWO PANCAKES RUE THIS DAY

Two pancakes walked into a bar,
They wanted to borrow a car,
They were tossed on a plate,
By a lumberjack mate,
Then, bathed with syrup from a fresh opened jar.




NO LILLIES, NO LILLIES, JUST SNOW

No lillies, no lillies, just snow,
It seems only the snow banks can grow,
Will it ever be spring,
Or, just this winter hell thing,
I'm yearning for a thick lawn to mow.

BEES MADE ME AN ANGEL ( IN HELL)

I think I have greatly come to hate,😑
That my stars foretell a miserable fate,😳
I'll be bitten until made dead from alive,πŸ’€
By a million bees from a hive,😧
Then, it's the big lava lamp behind Hell's gate.πŸ˜ˆπŸŒ‹






FEELING FORTUNATE

Fortunes are many but, my coins are few,
I made some investment but, they were pee-ew,
But, through financial decline,
I still can make and drink wine,
Then, I can few fortunate too.

TUCKER THE ANGEL SAT IN THE APPLE TREE LIMERICK

Tucker the angel sat in the  apple tree,
He made music playing his ukulele,
He bumped an apple that fell,
Eve saw free food and thought swell,
Eve shared with Adam the fruit but, it wasn't free.

MORAL:  THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES, NOTHING IS FREE

WHEN THE WINDY WIND BLEW MY CHECKERS AWAY

I grabbed my checkerboard to play checkers with my friends down by the bay,
Then, while playing a windy wind blew up and tossed my checkers all away,
So, what did I do,
When the windy wind blew,
I went home for I had no reason to stay.

THE TWISTING TURTLE

There's a snapping turtle who does the twist,
He stands on hind legs while each front leg makes a fist,
One of those swerving long-neckers, 
Making moves like Chubby Checkers,
All night long til the sun cuts the mist.

I ONCE BECAME SO PARANOID

I once became so paranoid,
That I stopped eating glue,
Because I thought it might contain,
A horse or two I knew,

I once became so paranoid,
I thought my goldfish might attack,
I was so afraid I wouldn't clean his jar,
And, found him lying on his back,    

I once became so paranoid,
I thought the sun would rise no more,
So, I bought ten thousand light bulbs,
And, cleaned out the light bulb store.

DONNY OF THE DIAPER, COMPLAINS

Donny likes to cruelly criticize,
Yet, hates reports of his small hand size,
Donny is chief amongst grippers,
While sitting in squishy diapers,
Blaming others for his showbiz demise.

MATH STINKS LIMERICK

Billy liked to play with math,
So much so he missed his bath,
And, although he did stink,
He did calc in a blink,
I'm jealous of his career path.  

ANOTHER WINTER WORK DAY (OR NOT)

I got up this morning and my coffee was cold,
My glazed doughnuts were glazed over with green mold,
My truck was froze and the battery dead,
So, I gave up and went back to bed,
Another winter work day put on hold.



Wednesday, February 17, 2021

SHORT ORDER COOK LIMERICK

The only job that I could book,
Was working part time as a short order cook,
Now, my burgers were crunchy,
My fries dry and bunchy,
But, my food's fine if you try not to look.

MY LITTLE GARBAGE PALS

All my little mice had nothing to eat,
After I took the garbage out to the street,
Then, all the mice disappeared,
And, my eyes got all teared,
I miss how the mice would lick on my feet.
