Peg-Leg Pete the Pirate and Dirty Deadeye Dan
Peg-Leg Pete the Pirate was a very evil man,
He used to eat his dinner from a filthy frying pan,
And when he’s finished eating he’d play “catch me if you can”
With his desperado first-mate known as Dirty Deadeye Dan.

Now Dan was quite a ladies man, but...

Premium Member Willy, One Leg
Willy the one legged centipede
Often would wish that he could be freed
He should be so speedy and whizzing about
But not with his one little leg sticking out

He’d sit in the street with an upturned hat
And people would throw lots of money in that
He wished he...

Because He's One Less Leg
Because he's one less leg
They bullied him for being crippled 
They picked on him daily
They called him cruel names 
... it hurts!

Because he's one less leg
They underestimated him
They looked down on him
They saw him as weak
... it's sad 

Because he's one less leg
He's got no...

Elephant Leg
There’s a part of you 
I cannot see or touch.  

In the dark, alone, I know 
every curve of your body.  
I could sculpt you from memory.  
Each detail vivid in 
my mind’s eye.  

The baby nail on your baby toe....

Premium Member Rudolph’s Broken Leg
Rudolph always loved it when Christmas came
because he got to lead dear Santa’s sleigh.
His rosy nose had brought him lots of fame
because in fog, Rudolph’s nose shone the way.

A week before dear Santa’s yearly trip,
the reindeer all were sliding down a hill.
Too eagerly, dear Rudolph...

Premium Member Ruler of Daddy Longs Leg Resort
The Daddy Long Legs crawled into my tea.
Looked up and smiled, coyly at me.
Invited his wife and his offspring, all three.
They were having the best time, I truly could see.

So I decided to make them a big bowl of tea.
I put in sugar and lemons,...

Break a Leg
>It is a well-known fact in the theatre world.  Telling someone to break a leg before they go on stage is considered good luck.  I certainly do not think it should be.  It’s funny how you never appreciate how people suffer with...

Premium Member 10 Verses: Small Head, Third Leg
1. The green light shines from above
ready to move, you stand erect.

2. Blood rush is your dialect
the dark tunnel is the only choice
of your venue for your project.

3. You dream of going to and fro
as if there's something to inspect
claiming the territory and going faster
with...

Christmas Leg of Pork
CHRISTMAS PORK

I'd broken down beside the highway; my poor old car's just died,
and when I lifted up the bonnet, you know I could have cried.
It’s a busted water hose, and of course I don't have a spare,
so I’m stuck here with my bonnet up, and...

A Dog with a Missing Leg
A dog with a missing leg
Knocked down by a driver
Drove at dog speed
And barked away 

We have stopped to see
A group of people, too
The dog with a missing leg
And smoke from nearby hut

The municipal is here
Health officer with a spade
Staring at the carcass
And calling for...

The Amputated Leg
The Amputated Leg 

A human leg it is! With senses numbed the village stood around the dump;
It’s a curse! Righteous path we diverted, in shiver, the devotees driveled;
A dog might have dragged it, in what’s app, the android fingered techie drooled;
Consult the occultist, shouted the...
