An algebra teacher of mine named Gunnoe
Sometimes tippled and was often a no-show
A clever fellow he
Was laid back as could be
When they fired him he had nowhere else to go.

Fee Bee is the Queen of the Hive
With drones to make her feel alive
She eats royal jelly
To fill up her belly
So the Hive will survive and thrive

Then threw his carrot as a rock
He giggles out loud
Even turns and bows
Never knowing his rock had been block

World War II was in progress
At 5 or 6 years old the world was obsessed
It was us against them
Millions were condemned
Six years later the war was suppressed

Said not to worry
On the contrary
Happens to a lot of us in the final phase

But to Uncle Sam
He doth bequeath his middle finger

After making coffee when you wake
You put it in the fridge then realize your mistake
We've all done it, be honest
It's just some silly test
Or if you've passed through the Pearly Gates

A loving pet makes our heart beat
So excited to greet us is so so sweet
A feeling so special
To another level
Nothing replaces it this feeling unique

lioness with her sights on the prize
antelope feels her; pops out her eyes
the chase is on
one is a pawn
antelope’s heartbeat is on the rise.

Pursued by a pot belly hog
But in the fog
She kissed a frog
According to Miss Polly Wogg . . . .

Limerick 1 – The sausage seller
I used to know a sausage seller called Franz
Who could never resist a dance
But whenever he was waltzing
Mice were assaulting
And stealing his wurstchen
Whenever he gave them the chance.

Found no words to rhyme with Adolf
One said it’s absurd
There isn’t one word
Let’s give up and go play some golf

Would preen as he made ladies swoon
Chin chiselled and firm
A blonde curly perm
His butt still looks like a balloon

Who fell in love with a chinchilla
When time came for loving
He’s pushing and shoving
But hadn’t intended to kill ’er

And picked up a little more knowledge
If only I knew
I’d soon ask if you
Want ketchup on your hotdog sausage

The kids put the program guide back on
Each station had way too much crap on
Then mum said hey kids
Watch one of dad’s vids
And soon Tim said Mum, what’s a strap on?

An opportunity to propose thirty feet above
A thrill enhanced
A wonderful chance
To ask the big question didn't need a shove

Enjoying the warm feeling like no others

The seamen are looking for Titty
But sly as a fox
She gets off their rocks
Proving it pays to be pretty

Most annoying bugs are mosquitos
They're attracted to stinky body odour
Not that you stink
But I might turn to drink
Your smell really can't be ignored

Goes way back to ancient times
Back then no one knew
We still don't have a clue
Best to just kick back and imbibe

I would like you to meet your host
Unfortunately he's a ghost
He may meet and greet
So please take a seat
Or the hounds may think you're a post

There once was a devil so bold
that he left his behind exposed
He thought it quite fun
stayed out in the sun
a bum blinding sight to behold!

Dog catcher Ferguson Jeeves
Found a new job raking leaves.
Since he turned sixty-one
Neighbors now have more fun,
He's no longer spreading fleas.

It seemed like my blind date was dim
As my pronouns are "he" and "him"
With 1 prick 4 play
How can I be "they"?
Unless I missed a sin o Nym?

Winter's aproaching with record speed
Not looking forward to this dastardly deed
Happens every year
Perhaps milder I hear
But as usual the cold will most likely succeed

He’s a conniving, wayfaring vagabond
Roaming around with nary a bond
He was a delight
Casanova all night
Many women became totally fond.

A woman was raped on the train
But no passenger would complain!
They enjoyed the assault
And could not be at fault
For girls are born to entertain!

There once was a gadfly daring.
His speech, it was laced with swearing
He said too much
which earned a punch
from the blonde whom he’d been staring.

The love of my life passed away in '99
The pain is still in these thoughts of mine
The sweet times together
In fair or foul weather
On a Florida beach when our love stars aligned

humor, inspiration, poetry, words, write, writing,
Through writing prompts I quietly scroll,
five with the same topic takes a toll;
How many ways can you say
the same thought in a new way?
I suppose I will just sit and troll.

TV provides such wonderful entertainment
But the other side of the coin can also be present
Takes careful inspection
Before your selection
Some are only watchable with parents consent
