ROADS DIVERGE BUT THE CHOICE MATTERS NOT

Two roads went different ways in the deep, dark woods,
I was returning home late with my grocery dry-goods, 
Down one road a bear growled,
Down the other a wolf howled,
So, I ran away as fast as I coulds.

WOODENPECKERS AND TERMITES

I found a pile of termite turds,

I was quite unnerved, a loss for words,

With a friendship down-ranking,

Still best friends no matter species or hue. 

TOILET PAPER VERSUS RINSING.

When the restaurant ran out of toilet paper, everyone rinsed in the sink,

When the sink was full and smelly, they used the fountain where we all use to drink,

I had one can of spray,

It did not last all day,

The health department wrote sixty citations, and used up ten pens of red ink.

I SUE OVER APPLE WARTS

Regarding tuna fish, I was it's biggest fan,
Until yesterday, when I opened up a can,

And scales of all tones,
Maybe, I shouldn't buy the cheaper store brand.

BEWARE OF SPACEMEN WITH PYRAMIDS

A space-man built a pyramid ship in the middle of my backyard,

Then, he told me to stay away from it, and he posted a robot guard,

Inside, I found a swimming pool, and so I took a dip,

And, while I took a swim, the space-man stole my credit card.

Chewing on the bones of my little collie,

MICHIGAN ZOMBIE RUNS

In Michigan the zombies all carry guns,

They smell really bad, and don't understand puns,

Like all zombies, they bite,

With no teeth, they bite lite,

And, their cheap beer gives the zombies the runs.

PUT THE SQUEEZE ON TOOTH PASTE TUBE

I think that it is a tremendous waste,
Because I can't squeeze out all of my tooth paste,
The tube is so long,
And I am not strong,
Time is short, I'll open a new tube with haste.

But, what I had wished for, was a raise, and a satellite dish.

STROBING MAKES EYEBALLS REALLY SOAR

House sinks, floors slant, cute!

They strap on firecrackers that night,

Then, they light them and fly out of sight, 

When the bombs burst bacon falls from the sky. 

  

I BOUGHT SOME STOCK LIMERICKS

I bought some stock and hoped for a pop,
But, I watched the stock price drop, drop, drop,
How could anyone know?
How low it would go,
At least at zero the price fall did stop.

I bought a stock and the price went violently down,
I ended up with a penny though I started with a crown,
The losses were so bleak.
When it is profit that I seek,
I lost my crib and will have to leave town.

I invested in stock and boy was I wrong,
Now I sit on a corner begging food for a song,
The market is bad,
It made me feel really sad,
I should have sold short but, instead I went long.

They could afford only one Ken doll, so he got bestowed super powers.

Keeping them stupid, is my greatest concern,

Now they'll become just like me, and trade info at the bar.

I'LL GO BACK TO SCHOOL WEARING SATIN

I went shopping, but, I got ever, so boardy, board,

Unless, I get a mommy loan, working out an accord.

I WITCHY CURSED WITH MY SPELLS

Along came these anti-speller do wells,

They tethered me to a tree,

To burn the witch out of me,

Through the flames, an awesome curse, I done yells.

A SPACE ALIEN POEM

A flying saucer landed in my yard,
It really caught me way off guard,
Especially when out popped two green men,
Both were tall and very thin,

Perhaps it was a grievous sin,
I didn’t fight because I could not win,
So, I decided to invite them in,
For a glass of beer and a late din din,

They ate some chicken and drank my beer,
All the while I shook in fear,
What I feared most was an alien probe,
I just wished they’d leave my simple adobe,

The aliens chewed and spit out my best cheese,
After that they seemed at ease,
I hoped my dinner did appease,
But, just in case I got down on my knees,

Finally, one of the aliens spoke,
He said my planet was just a big joke,
He said that my food and spirits were o.k.
So, my planet was spared for another day,

They said that every alien race,
Would likely visit my very place,
The food was edible and the beer was good,
The bathrooms were cleaned like a hotel should,

The aliens stole my towels and stole my soap,
Even the soap that hung on a rope,
They jumped in their saucer and sped fast away,
But, more came for dinner the very next day.

IGNORANCE ISN'T JUST BLISS, IT'S THE LAW

We replaced all the teachers, 

With porn stars with fit features,

We're teaching, the only thing that counts are good looks.

TO KEEP MY KIDS FROM LEARNING, I DID A BOOK BURNING

I burned the books in my house, and what did I get?

Three sons in the jail, and they each have a dimwit,

They turned out, not to be bright,

Can barely read, and can't write,

And, their mathematics skills, ain't worth a plum spit.

Buy color, for my hair,

And buy nails, to hang my fish on the wall.
