Poor Santa Claus had such a fright
The open log fire was alight!
Descending the flue
The air turned quite blue;
His chestnuts were roasting that night!

dedication,
Heard that bashing your head against a wall
Feels good especially when you stop if you don't fall
Passing out is a negative
Heads are quite sensitive
Pretend that it don't hurt and try hard not to bawl

Joey from Friends was my favorite of all
He was the guy who made me on the floor sprawl
He had a real knack
His humor he'd crack
Usually making me bounce off the wall

Imagine having eight arms and three hearts
Like an octopus, don't know where to start
We learn a new skill
First time, what a thrill
Making love with eight arms and three hearts

A brand new rubbish bin
Did not have anything in
This suited it fine
Would like to decline
Being used, as it would be a sin

I have a doctor named Bill
I visit when feeling ill
He prescribes lotions
Copious pills and potions
That made me feel worse still

Knew something was dreadfully wrong
When over his belt
A serpent would pelt
The heroine singing her song

Meet At God's Feet and What a Treat
Again, what we do is must meet,
And we will find glory at His feet;
Bible we read,
To last shred,
Then was great and glorious treat.

history,
Structures from antiquity have intrigued me no end
How they achieved such feats I can't comprehend
Moving mammoth stones
Caused grunts and groans
Must have taken superhuman strength, perhaps hemp

hilarious,
Really love to make people laugh
Especially when it's an “out-of-the-blue” gaffe
Talking loud in an elevator
Personal stuff for later
Quite outrageous, life tickling my @$$

My watch stopped during a minute of silence
Stood there for hours, was like a lecture on science
Not that it was boring
Spent my time snoring
My watch alarm woke me, dreamt of nasty lions

If I was a Rocky Mountain Goat
I would wear a furry overcoat.
I would walk rocks
Ignore all clocks
And jump off cliffs onto river boats.

British found oodles of Vitamin C
In a place unknown by you and me.
Rose hip jam
That’s right ma’am.
During World War Two kept children healthy.

A famous TV star is called 'Big Bird'
At Thanksgiving he's at a loss for words --
His fellow birds are eaten
Down is his spirit beaten --
What eight-foot canary is not absurd?

A streaker with great bouncing balls
Ran up and down our High School halls
Our cheerleaders said
Their faces were red
But they act on all sporting calls

Some people like to poke
Other people, they think it's a joke
If you poke back
They give you a smack
Another friendship goes up in smoke!

Had everything one could desire
Until a boy named Tom
With a home-made bomb
Set Desiree's house on fire!

Ladies, here’s advice I simply can’t
hold back, and conscience says I shan’t:
If you plan to don your “tini”
frame in a racy, hot bikini,
be aware: a strip of cloth that scant
wasn’t designed for the overabundant.

Waiting rooms are the worst by far
Avoiding the stares of others we stare at the floor
So uncomfortable
Others also vulnerable
Some are sweating bullets, others snore

Where you're going cuz you might miss the show

There are 31,556,926 seconds in a day
So when we say, “wait a second” here's what we're saying
In actual time
It's time to dine
Dinner will be here in 1/31,556,926th of a day, okay?

Whose verses often veered t’word a pun,
He suffered the asthma,
Had anemic plasma,
So paper and ink summed up his fun

Had enjoyed it when there we went,
And map read;
To Him lead,
After He explained what this meant.

We Vowed To See a Shroud
What we vowed was to see a shroud;
It once had been among a big crowd;
Body cover;
Birds hover;
Now found floating in a nebulas cloud.

There was a young girl from Marfee
Her nickname was young cute blondie.
Teeth were all rotted
Men were all sotted
She's a firm forty-two double dee.

Who lived 'cross town on a street called Tower

Not coming up for breath
Gabbed with gusts up to ninety miles per hour

All I want from Christmas Eve reindeer
A basset hound puppy to revere
With a Rudolph nose
To elf size she grows
Jingle bell stepping on her own ears!

Illness Then Loneliness and Stillness
Seemed so sick from a severe illness,
While she would suffer with loneliness,
And off carried;
In grave buried;
Died and what remained was stillness.

Jesus In Cradle Laid
Together choir great music made,
While Jesus in His cradle had laid;
Fast or slow,
Sing a solo,
Or in harmony had been singing.
