When My Pants Fell Down

February 8th, 2010

One day I was walking from town
When my pants suddenly fell down
I thought me, “Oh why”?
Cause I’m very shy
So I pulled up my pants with a frown.

The Old Man From Timbuktu

February 7th, 2010

An old man from Timbuktu,
Made an igloo and painted it blue,
Adorned it with ribbon and lace,
He just loved this space,
The strange old man from Timbuktu.

A woman with a pointed chin,
Was as sharp as a dolphins fin,
Nobody liked  her,
It was made from bears fur,
She said that it came from a tin.

There once was a girl from Kalloon
Who wanted to ride a balloon
She went to the sun
And burnt her bum
And now she looks like a baboon

Kids Are Masters Of Fun

January 10th, 2010

As we grow and live life on the run,
We can pause for a fond reflection,
Shaking sodas in cans,
Speaking robot through fans,
When we were kids, we were masters of fun.

Jailing Pants

January 8th, 2010

There are dudes with low hanging pants,
That inspire disgust and our rants,
Someone please tell them soon,
With their half covered moon,
Skid marks do not lead to romance.

Many thanks to Richard Bobo

Thought the hen a magnificent creature.
The hen, thus impressed
Laid an egg in her nest.
And thus did the hen reward Beecher.

Because he’s afraid to turn blue.

Who like to write poetry with jabs

He pulled out a big booger
And said with a snicker
Now that was a real wing dinger

Give us our Chocolate Moon Pie
With a large R.C. drink
You can tickle us pink
And we are happy on the Fourth of July

To move him we were quite unable,
On this you can rely
It was a pound moon pie
That left him so disabled.

Now he goes out the back for a smoke

Her nose grew a flower,
And her hair was covered in weeds.

Horseback Riding

October 13th, 2009

My butt and the saddle kept hitting
So often it seemed only fitting,
To drop the word ‘ride’
Semantics aside,
It seemed more like horseback ‘sitting’

Who wanted to know who made love best.

Young Man From Japan

July 21st, 2009

There was a young man of Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When they asked him, Why?
He said, with a sigh,
“It’s because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”

Haven’t checked on this site in a while,
But today I just needed a smile.
While some of these rhymes
Bring groans up at times,
They send my blues into exile!

There once was a girl and a blog
To keep it left her in a fog
She went on the “net”
The experts she met
Have told her to work like a dog!
