Noah loaded great beasts on an ark
and cleaned messes from morning til dark
But a man's gotta eat,
so he feasted on meat
an at least he had less to dis-bark!

Trump is the devil in disguise
His followers believe his lies
I beg every woman and man
Keep us out of the frying pan
Before we become sizzling fries

celebration, silly,
In County Cork prowls a cat, David Kavanagh
Bellies up to the bar with Gilbey's glass in paw
Drown the shamrock, sound the alarms
Lassies abound, his lucky charms
Blaring cheery shout outs of Erin Go Bragh!

Gershon Wolf |

drug, friend, silly,
I just made a new friend from Botswana
Who invites me to smoke marijuana
I don’t speak his language
So I’m in real anguish
‘Til he tells me, “You’ll attain nirvana”

feelings,
When doing a favour, it needn't be returned
A favour is a favour, a show of friendship confirmed
No need to be repaid
So this gesture evade
It's sure not necessary where friendships are concerned

There once was a girl from Charlotte
Rumors spread that she is a harlot
She was loose in her ways
And perhaps her suitors did pay
Would it be better if free tomorrow Scarlet

Look in the mirror what do you see
Image of a fool staring at me
Maroon moon marching in mind
Emerald eyes that use to be mine
Rosy smile the limerick inspires
Igloo indigo heart set on fire
Can only wish for such a thrill
Kinda like a limerick with a chill

About toilet paper guests swipe
The staff at hotels have a gripe
They say steal it not
And buy one-ply Scott
Which won’t clot your home’s sewage pipe

There once was a Cat who made a wish.
It had to do with Clancy's pet fish.
If its bowl would break,
one swoop would it take
to proclaim Clancy's fish quite delish!

While circular area's moot
3/14 math groupies salute
Approximate pi
Which helps us get by
Since squares within rounds don't compute

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Blarney there’s one magic stone.
When you kiss it, you’re put in ‘the zone.’
You’ll soon gab with words so glib.
Matters not if truth or fib.
With a stout Guinness, one must atone.

Posey and Shirley two bad men I once knew
Bar room brawlers and stinkers these two
might had made a millionaire
had I told about this pair
Because this was way before boy named Sue

The squirrels' desire emphatic
To airbnb in the attic
Means a landlord may leave
Hors d'ouevres in the eave
That make their guests aromatic

He showed up dressed in black leather
Dates aren’t meant to last forever
It wasn’t just fun
He was on the run
A hostage date was --quite clever

They're pagans on ice with wood sticks
And maximum pain each inflicts
But Saint Patrick knows
God prefers trios
Like three-leaf shamrocks and hat tricks

There once was a chicken called ‘Polly’,
whose name sounded happy and jolly,
‘til one morning at two,
she crowed, “****-a-doo,”
now our chook is a rooster called Wally.

I saw a man walking his hog
It turned out it was just his dog
It sure did look real
But here is the deal
Hard to tell in such a thick fog

You sly cat
In the mirror you sat
You’re a mimic feline
A copycat with fur so fine
Eyes gleaming with tales of a mischievous spat

An ignorant duck breeder with a moat
Put off repairing his dingy to float
And he doesn’t yet know
Getting his ducks in a row
Means more than getting his ducks in a row-boat

There’s a dove of pure love; could I spot it?
For if love is a bug then I’ve got it
I looked up above
And saw that white dove
But it pooped on my head so I shot it

One tooth Tilly was his name
Women wished that he’d been tame
He wore a light pink suit
With his high-top boot
His daily life was spitting game

Time is on my side says Mick Jagger
Yes it is and thus he can swagger
But here with disgust
We must clocks adjust
And in morning out of bed stagger

Certain yarns with needles knit
Are not strong and likely will split
So please keep in mind
The seamstress is kind
And insists on try-ons for fit

When the enterprise gets exposed
A brothel finds out it's opposed
The sign in the front
Men meet with a grunt
Says beat it we recently closed

A boob who was rather naggy
Said to its mate we're too saggy
Without more support
I'm afraid dear cohort
We're nuts in pants that look baggy

She said I'm all wet with a yell
If doing it now we could tell

With what was implied
But I had no umbrella to sell

They found old tampons that were damp
So archeologists at camp
Questioned if terra

You might trip if caught in a flap
Or with your foot stuck in a strap
When flooring's criss-crossed
With bras she has tossed
You will need a booby-trap map

Their blushing cannot be suppressed
Green tomatoes have this protest:
Lettuce fresh out of bed
Turns us shades of red

There once were some voters from here
With factual knowledge unclear
Once in voting booths
Without simple truths
Picked with whom they'd rather drink beer

Repeat of the four-year refrain
Pits demented versus insane
We who are pundits
Say please call it quits
And would toast their obits with champagne

Heaven is where I want to be
So many people I want to see again

Brains beam back connections as dreams
While sorting much data in streams
But these mind fables
Come with graphic labels
Like symbols in Microsoft Teams

We will weep and feel castrated
But after quitting
It's real and so fitting
Without bawls anymore we're elated

To west lie when things I can't resist,
Ye persuade me to look to the east,
Then haply let me feast
On what I should the least,
O mind thou art monkey, and health a beast.
