Phony Facade
They protest to not be a drama queen
but just can't wait to jump into the scene
Pretending to be a friend
Verbal daggers they extend
Their true colors are now vibrantly seen

The Sweetheart of the Soup
Charmaine my love, you're the sweetheart of the Soup
Everyone adores you including this nincompoop
If you ever leave
So many would grief
Probably thousands would leave including this old coot

Out Of Our Hands
A relative who used to be a good fit
Has evolved into something we must admit
Has a unique downside
Like a Jekyll and Hyde
Now if you give him a hand, it might get bit

Salty and Sweet Limerick
Is it sweet or salty or sour?
Brimming with happiness or always dour?
Prancing, living with gaiety
Or waiting for a guillotine
Now standing forever to scour?

The East End, Ends
It's goodbye to mad Frankie Fraser
The East Ends gangster appraiser
So loyal to the Kray's
To his very last day
One the Sixties ultimate erasures

The Calcium Thief
A badgering wife caused her husband such grief,
Each time she did he ground his teeth,
Over the years his teeth become
Nothing but stumps upon his gum,
His friends all called her, 'the calcium thief.'

Limerick
There was an old leprechaun chief,
His haemorrhoids caused him some grief,
So he cussed and he swore
That his butt was so sore,
And wiped with a soft shamrock leaf.

Silly Lilly
Once there was a miss by name Lilly,
Imitates to make others appear silly.
Pent-up feeling unleashed,
my pain of rejection eased.
Bloody Lilly, no good griefVery very silly!

Deep Thinker
There was an eligible undertaker
Who married a trouble-maker.
She gave him such grief
He desperately sought relief.
So he forthwith did under take her.

Exclamation Point
Liberty Bell, cracked and muted after the war
Apostrophe after every catastrophe under par
Homerun in the Long March of Second War
Coins on cairns of foes and heroes in jar
An exclamation point in war under par.

Charlie Brown offered his pal Linus
Food that Lucy said was the finest
She said it was Hummus
Charlie you’re the dumbest
Good grief, that stuff came from her sinus

I Was the Better Man
His suits and empires made it so swift
from afar all you saw was his mid-rift
with me you were glowing
our future was moving
from his dark pit, you now expect a lift.

I Do Belieth
In a land far away lived a fairy named Bernice
Not a typical name for a fairy, I do belieth
How about that Sir John John
I just wave my magic wand wand
Words magically rhyme without any grief

Mike's Briefs
There's a lady I know by the name of Carol
She lives with a Dragon at her very own peril
He's caused her grief
By burning Mike's briefs
It's a good thing her Dragon is sterile

Winter Gray
This winter has brought unrelenting gray
Unlit gray sky is all I've seen for days
Gray snow a relief
From gray rain's dank grief
Hurry, springtime - make the gray go away!

There once was a green Irish elf
Who was an old miserable get
who didn't like the Guinness
And was married to a Mrs
Who just loved to give, Male elves grief

Lucky Indian
Indian met white man at the docks.
Taught him to plant corn and shared his flocks.
White man gave disease and grief,
Stole his lands like common thief.
Indian lucky to keep his mocs.

Kissing Suzanne
My first love was called Sue Heather,
I thought I’d love her forever.
We kissed and came to grief:
With braces on her teeth,
She stapled my lips together.

Mind Your Prayers
Poor Noah was stuck on the Ark
Quite fed up with hearing dogs bark
He prayed God, "God Grief!
Please grant us relief!"
So now canines howl in the dark!

in bold letters it read catch and release me
after a few drinks he was game
closing on the brink of her flame

Foolishness
There was a man from Nilkhet,
He used to put his money into his pocket.
While he was working at his store,
He heard someone nocked on his door,
He didn't know how did he pick pocket!

Can anyone tell me what a blooper is anyway
Is it like a goofy unplanned accident at someone's soiree
Like a dark patch

Admonished Today
Was admonished today on another site
Basically for my humour, she took a swipe
Offensive she claimed
Smart remarks I'm blamed
Well loved by many, still winning in spite

Swimmies In My Broth
The cleaning ladies are here, oh boy!
We'll soon get through the rubble, oh joy!
Perhaps a bomb went off
There's swimmies in my broth
Doing the backstroke and loudly yelling ahoy!
