Charlie Martin was always fartnCharlie Martin was always fart’n
Thanks to his mama, Mrs. Martin
Beans for breakfast, beans for lunch
Never salt, sugar, or anything with crunch
Baked beans, lima beans, chili beans too
Sometimes in a Shepard’s pie, sometimes in a stew
Kid who sits in school in Martin’s row
Says Martin's beanie aroma curls his big toe
A skunk is not as offensive, said...

Winifred is not like the othersOld ladies in a line would be wearing pastel hats
Their shoes would be common, plain, ugly flats.
Their hair would be tamed, snipped and curled.
But Winifred had just had her soul unfurled.
Unencumbered, she was a dancing diva now.
She wanted her wild curls to give the men a wow
Their wives would hate her, what would they think?
Winifred...

Rabbit RelaxesRabbit was issued an invitation from the cucumber king
He could attend a spa, if he wore his red ruby ring
While rabbit was soaking in the sauna the ring got taken
I bet it’s the king, he thought; he was not mistaken
He was in a dilemma, for if he accused the king
Of not just taking, but stealing...

Ollie Onion Tells off the Kitchen KnifeOllie onion had never been this mad in his life
He turned all his anger on the kitchen knife
How dare you try to peel me, you interloper, he said.
The knife was embarrassed, his face turned red.
I did not know that you were alive, he admitted.
No one told me this, I am confused, he spitted.
Ollie was not...

Come Down to Arkansas yah hearThey went mudd’n down at the water hole
Getting their trucks filthy was the goal
Grandma said they needed to bless her soul
They baptized that old lady in the water hole
Everyone has a beard down in the holler
Because haircuts cost more than a dollar
The best rednecks live in squaller
My pig is Sophie, you may call her.
We ride...

The JourneyThe Journey
Standing at this crossroads, I finally see
How life shaped us through misunderstanding.
What I once called betrayal was merely growth—
Two saplings reaching toward different light.
I trace the map of our journey together,
Each weathered line telling its own story.
In forgiving our mutual imperfections,
I've found that love transforms alongside us.
This is the wisdom life whispers:
To hold each...

Brock the DesignerBrock was a designer, he made a frock
Did not tell his co-workers on the dock
Figured most of them would tease and mock
Wanted to avoid their bullying talk
On Brock’s apartment door there was a knock
Was easy to do as there was no hanging sock
It was his neighbor who wanted to walk
She asked Brock to be in...

Gopher named Raya gopher sat on my toe today
sassy and saucy, his name was Ray
What fun do you have? The scamp asked me
I rocked my toe, so he could see
Do that again, he goaded me
I teeter-tottered him to my knee
Come back tomorrow the gopher said
He blew me a kiss and my face turned red...

Tornado Jim Competes with his SisterTornado Jim was an unruly evil F-5.
He barely left anyone alive.
Threw cattle and tractors into the air.
Crushed combines and backhoes; he did not care.
Gloated that he had destroyed more farms than his sis.
She gave him a mean finger and snarled with a hiss.
Next time she destroyed, she vowed to be worse than him.
She was always...

His impatience was keenly showing
Always in sandy land that needed no mowing
He yearned for Iowa where it was snowing...

Heard his radio sing,”hip hip hooray!”

But he snatched my keys and drove away...

SeasickThese high waters are worse than choppy
Scary roller coasters they copy
Our vessel tossed like a sailboat
We can barely stay above or afloat
This storm is the worst I’ve ever seen
It makes my stomach feel green
I am too ill to primp or preen
Tossed and turned like a kidney bean...
