A Certain Lunatic
Where are we headed, is a silver lining in sight
At the current pace, we'll be over the precipice before night
It's already dusk
Smarten up we must
Before a certain lunatic precipitates an extinguishing of the lights

Snail
Each morning without fail,
I see my little,brown-shelled snail,
Plodding along with his home on his back,
Leaving a long, tiny, silver track,
I think he likes blazing a trail.

Big Fat Lies
I always was a fool for you
Eating your lies with a silver spoon
Now I’m on a diet
But you still try it
Gagging me with a new ruse

Thanksgiving In the Mirror
With "plenty" this culture's endowed
Bad outcomes are never allowed!
But nature's stealthy
And notes for the wealthy
Silver linings come with a cloud

Grand Canyon Jump
This is an ode to Sally-Jo,
Her silver spurs and the horse she rode,
As their mighty leap slowly unwound
They jumped the Grand Canyon in a single bound,
But it was deemed wind assisted as a hurricane blowed.

Ghost Cat
There once was a white cat I knew
Who had feathers; a ghost cat who flew
Through the shimmering streams
Of the moon’s silver beams
Leaving slain doves in the dew

Born With a Bent Silver Spoon
I'm in fine form on this sunny afternoon
Feel like frolicking like a silly baboon
What's strange about that
Quite normal for this brat
Brought into this world with a bent silver spoon

Save Me Now
Green leprechauns already know
There's zilch at ends of a rainbow
So to own and hold
Pots of silver and gold
Is the way to have lots of dough
Author's note: The color of leprechauns is significant here!

Construction Worker Fred
Construction worker Fred, never snotty
Boastful, self-righteous, or slightly haughty
They laid him to rest
Midst tribute the best
Gold-plated, silver-edged Porta-Potty

A Day Cometh
Emeka was starving in a lightless land
no passersby bothered to give him a hand.
Crystal tinkles in a nearby palace
wine flows from a silver-encrusted chalice.
Emeka dies alone; purple shall atone.

Unprofessional Soldier?
If to you professionalism of a soldier
is robotic obedience to orders for murder,
then count me out,
I'm not a lout,
I'm much more than that silver dog tag's serial number !

A Limerick For the Raiders
This one is for Jan-i-kowski
Kicks it so hard goes kapowski
When the Raiders attack
In the silver and black
We will rob all your booty and trouskies

Sad News About Carol
Sad news about Carol and the flooding she's had
Wish I could help, makes me feel really bad
Nasty old stuff so unpredictable
Weather gods are being despicable
There's a silver lining Carol, even though the world's gone mad

Dave's Girl's Named Sandra Mcspark
Dave's nuts 'bout his girlfriend, Sandra McSpark
She doesn't bite much, but Man! - Can she bark!
She's got the sexiest growls
From voluptuous jowels
Sandra's no dog ~ She's a silver 'land shark'

Shiny and silver with grey

Sharing the Peace Pipe
Hi Yo, Silver...says, the Lone Ranger
When Tonto, gets deep into danger
From his tongue of Cherokee
He yells out "kemosabe"
Then they smoke peace pipes in the manger

Hyenas are really no laughing matter
In fact they're scavengers, if you see one, scatter
They'll bite your bum
Their dinner you'll become
Unceremoniously, don't need a silver platter

That peg-legged pirate ain't tall;
I thought he was not 'long' at all -
he went for a pee,
and then I could see.

God dumped on us buckets of rain

My tax returns washed down the drain!"

Long Jonn Silver Goes For the Gold
Long John Silver, a hurdler, goes for the gold
Tall and long-legged, he sure fits the mold
Long John clears every bar
It's his moment to star --
'Til his 'other long leg' sticks out too far

Crickey
A duck that loved to play cricket
Slipped up on a sticky wicket
Of course Tom was there
With Marmite to spare
And a silver spoon to flick it!
