Queen of her stage
There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
Without a feather ruffled
and Kittie's meows muffled,
she now ruled the roost, as queen of her stage!

Limerick
Written: by Tom Wright
6-30-2016
I once knew a man, first name Harry,
A “Cubbie” fan, last name was Carey
He sang at each Cub game,
When the 7th inning came,
And was never mistaken for a canary;
“Take me out to the ball game”

Napoleon Complex
I sense a Napoleon complex
As Joe the canary his wings flex
He stretches tall and proud
Squawks and shrieks really loud
At the Seagull who has huge, huge pecs

Cagey Canary Cat Caught
You love to chase the old cow,
and make the kitten go meow,
I have put you in your place,
now no one left to chase.
I got you~let me take a bow.

Joe the Yellow Canary
Lives next door to sweet Mary
A frog came in her house
Poor Mary gave a big rouse
Joe gave a shriek like fury

No Canary Was She
Knew a young lady named Cherie
Had an attitude that was always merry
Tripped on a stone
Broke a few bones
She certainly didn't sing like a canary

sky witch
once an old witch from dunderry
would ride on something quite scary
did it sing did it dance
did it wear checkered pants
no twas a fairy canary.

Big Bird
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?

Cagey Canary
The canary sat atop his cage,
And thought to himself, I got you Paige!
While Paige sat trapped in tight,
Thinking about the fight,
And plotting to kill in angry rage.

Lithe As a Fairy
Eating sensibly is the name of the game
No more gorging, that's not good for our frame
Getting lithe as a fairy
Singing like a canary
Happy as poop I'm no longer shamed

Cheshire's Chagrin
Cat and canary at odds through the day
A game of chase hunts his delicious prey
But Tweety turns tables
Just like Aesop’s fables
End game birdy tweets, hubris doesn’t pay!

Cagey Canary
Tom thought in his nine lives he saw it all,
He languorously preyed on weak and small,
Times change, tweet they,
Tom’s now the prey -
His predator triumphantly stands tall

A Canary and Cat Tale
A clever, caged yellow canary
tricked his foe, a cat big and scary.
He flew out with some luck.
Cat walked in and got stuck.
Silly cat should have been more wary.

Tact
Just saying my canary was alive before you got here
Could it be your perfume? No offence to you, my dear
Common sense has eluded me
Need more tact I agree
Should have said, you're prettier that you appear!

A Talking Canary
Three manic morons: Moe, Curly, Larry
Ante up for a talking canary ~
It attracts boobirds
They cry, 'How absurd' ~
Clever jokers rename her 'Miss Carrie'

A Tone-Deaf Woman
A tone-deaf woman in Tucumcari
made a wish to sing like a canary
Her perpetual sadness
has now turned to gladness
It’s just eat, tweet and be merry!

Tweeter My Canary
Judy said her friend's perfume was much too severe
Her canary Tweeter, was alive before she got there
Loved Tweeter so much
He was so old, he needed a crutch
Flew with a limp, I cried when he died, buckets of tears

CAGEY CANARY
UH-OH—SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG!
SO NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BURST INTO SONG?
I'LL TEACH THAT BIRD A NOTE
JUST LET ME AT HIS THROAT
THEN I'LL SING DINNER MUSIC ALL DAY LONG!

Leery Canary
My canary keeps a pet cat;
that used to be sat on a mat,
but now it is caged
and slightly enraged;
to the bird, it’s just tit for tat!

Saw Trump In a Cemetary
Saw Trump In A Cemetary
We just saw Trump in a cemetary
Looking at grave of his cute canary;
With all his followers;
Blooming idiot flowers;
Moved to city declared a sanctuary.

Sage Bird
There once was a yellow canary sage,
Who trapped a naughty cat in a cage
With feathers so bright,
It plotted all night,
Till the cat escaped and ate it in rage.

Bush Had Become Legendary
Bush Had Become Legendary
In choir, Bush was known to be legendary;
Had heard he could sing just like a canary;
We realized,
Milk homogenized;
Scare cows who they did milk daily in dairy.
He never tried to milk anyone and was the
kindest President we will have ever known.

I Spell a Cat - Picture Prompt
The life of a magicians cat is dread
Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary
I ended up in the darn cage instead

Crafty Maneuver
The house cat unlatched the cage door;
Squeezed in to then find he's done for.
A quick turn-about
Canary flew out!
Cat's stuck, and bird's free to explore!

ROLE REVERSAL
ROLE REVERSAL
A most enterprising canary
Always found the cat very scary
So to turn a new page
Shut the cat in the cage
It’s the cat’s turn now to be wary
