memory,
Nine tabs open, where is the music coming from
My mind's a steel trap, but it's a challenge by gum
Maybe it's the site about Mars
Or some other site quite bazaar
Maybe it's the one that challenges my cerebellum

fun,
Body parts on a woman can sure excite a man
Simple things like slender legs can start his minivan
Other things help him react
Make him tremble in fact
Becomes incoherent and drools on his sedan

4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th grade, funny,
There once was an owl name of Lash.
He hid all his toys in the trash.
Along came a crow
He stopped and said “whoa!”
And stole every bit of the cache.

There once was a sailor from Saskatoon
Who wrecklessly wielded his new harpoon
He impaled himself
Accusing an elf
Crew replaced him by a smarter baboon

Head Head On After Starting To Skirmish
Had hit head on after starting to skirmish;
Destroyed objective when did extinguish;
Waited;
Dissipated;
Control not needed so it would relinquish.

Food To Feed Separate from Weed
Morning Has Broken and so has each seed;
Become food to feed separate from weed,
They found,
On ground,
Which was required that they surely need.
My main goal is to motivate others
to write poetry..

Three Irish angels were sipping their tea
Discussing the sinners that they could see
"That one's a menace
That one drinks Guinness
And that colleen is heaven for three!"

Saw Such A Small Sparrow
We should have seen such a small sparrow,
Whose eyes were always sharp and narrow;
Heart of gold,
Have been told,
And view of things seen straight as an arrow.

I am Joseph the Carpenter, husband of Mary,
I am the Carpenter, we were the chosen of many,
Archangel Gabriel visited Mary the Mother
Of Jesus, proudly I became the legal Father,
Soon to become parents sadly, our Saviour to bury.

Through the long winters up in Maine
Her virtue she aims to maintain
Though she tries best to cope
On a slippery slope
She slips and falls now and again

Like To Liberate from Trump
From Trump would like them to liberate;
When this was done we could celebrate;
Not be annoyed;
Peace enjoyed,
While we were happy from state to state.

future,
Wonder if a future world will really survive
Will we see a time less human, will we still be alive
Really too old to see it
To experience a down shift
Alien-like inhabitants invading from the skies

An Old Haunt in Vermont
She has been living in an old haunt;
Great artist who is my favorite aunt;
And we knew,
Beautiful view;
While having fun skiing in Vermont.

Yesterday was NOT like other days, it was special
Spent early morning lakeside watching nature's spectacle
Wildlife before man's intervention
A quiet scene beyond description
Of peace and harmony, life's lofty peak, it's the pinnacle

My body's all aching and wracked with pain
Not sure I want to travel this highway again
Once is enough
Journey's been tough
Who am I kidding, life's been like sipping champagne

Fifty years ago on the moon went Man
T'was a trip that had long before begun
When he dreamed flying up high
To soar wished and reach the sky
Now planets wants to conquer if he can!

Louisiana Rev had a session,
with a girl in the oldest profession.
Was found with his pants down,
on the wrong side of town.
His next sermon became his confession.

With shrieks and groans and sexy moans
But none can compare
With My Lady Fair

Thought That I Had About Travel
There is this thought I had about travel;
Could be on mountainside or on gravel;
Sights seen;
Some serene,
While mind with thoughts would unravel.

As much fame for Yuri Gagarin was never afforded
First man in space in 1961, was Yuri who completed one orbit
A Soviet Air Forces pilot
The acclaim was more quiet
A gigantic achievement but the acclaim was more biased

What great impact the Beatles had on popular music
Their influence on the pop scene reflected our moral fabric
The killing of John Lennon in 1980
Caused such grief, this horrific tragedy
Here's my salute to the Fab Four for providing such unparalleled acoustics

Such A Sad State of Affairs
Have been in such a sad state of affairs;
Know that Trump for us less ever cares;
Selfish for sure;
We must endure;
He is highly egotistical and never shares.

What I Thank About God
What I want to thank about God,
Is all my many sins He has shod;
And Son gave,
Who was brave;
Grass grows so greatly in His sod.

There is an aging surfer from Hawaii
Who can’t stay afloat however he try’
The girls giggle and sneer
While he sips his warm beer,
But he thinks he still looks rather fly.

Who proudly wore the family torque.
Although his wife was fey –
couldn’t foretell the day:

What we would found out was apparent,
Did determine rights that are declarant;
Then ensued,
And viewed;
We had also found them to be inherent.

A little girl from Minnesota.
Got filled up on chocolate soda.

When we have lied may chop off long nose;
After increases,
Into pieces,
And longer and longer it grows and grows.

To all the people that we've known in our life
Here's some words of wisdom, it's all about the roll of the dice
Depends on which the slot we land
Or if we're dealt a winning hand
It's all about circumstance, we don't get to go around twice

Chimps make me smile coz they resemble Uncle George
It's probably only a coincidence but I've long suspected his heritage
So I wouldn't bet the farm on it
But he does enjoy roaming the forests
Climbing trees in search of any confirmation of his parentage

It has been diagnosed by all the leading “hugs” docs
That a hug a day makes us live an extra year by the clock
But only certain kinds, it's hard to believe
Gonna really try em all before I leave
Extra squeezie ones, however, are known to cause death in Bangkok

Realm is a royal domain and kingdom.
Trump has been in charge and at helm;
In complete control over all the realm;
Sun or rain,
A total pain;
While President everyone will overwhelm.
