Premium MemberCasper the Friendly Ghost

Casper the Friendly Ghost 
was youthful and wanted one thing the most;
each show he searched to find and make friends.
kids always ran; maybe the wispy can't plan solid ends.


Premium MemberJames Herriot - All Creatures Great and Small

Famous pet doctor, James Alfred Wight
Who, at 50 years of age, began to professionally write
Taking "James Herriot" as his pen name
Bought from a goalkeeper at a football game

Couldn't publish with the name he used as a vet
Self-promotion goes against professional etiquette
But he had a way with words
To write many funny blurbs
About his family, his friends, and their pets

His books then made their way on TV
A film, a sequel, and shows on the BBC
But the man was unflattered by his fame 
After all, the critters still saw him the same!

Premium MemberKeats, the entertainer



My uncle’s name is Keats.
He eats all kinds of sweets.
This habit, his caring wife hates
Saying that his sugar levels it dilates.
		
One day one of his friends visits his house,		
Hands over a box of sweets to his spouse.
To have one from it he tries,
This, his wife strongly denies.
Secretly he looks for them like a mouse.

He opens the lid of every container.
Oh, he is such a perfect entertainer.
				
She tries to hide sweets from his sight.
And thinks what she does is quite right.

Premium MemberStevie Wonder

"Limerick - Syllables 12,12,8,8,12" ~By Poet~

Stevie Wonder.
Blinded after birth by a hospital blunder.
At three he played music with pots and pans.
Self taught piano, at nine he played to young fans.

Stevie Wonder decided to bet Tiger Woods 
To play golf at a golf club in their neighborhoods 
Tiger, he chose where they would play.  
Stevie would choose the time of day. 
Stevie chose midnight. He won and went home with the  goods. 

At 13 he was the youngest solo artist ever to top the charts. 
Being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, warmed hearts.
He won a  Grammy for "That's What Friends Are For"
Stevie Wonder, an incredible performer has fans galore.

Premium MemberKevin Costner

An American actor, Kevin Costner.
known for Divorce battle with Christine Baumgartner, his x partner. 
Academically inclined but played sports and poetry he pens.
At a young age, loss confidence, having to make new friends.

Premium MemberJerry and Elaine

Jerry 
Comedian rarely contrary.
Among his wacky friends, the voice of reason.
Still he got tossed in jail with them in their final season

Elaine
Confident and vain, she could be a pain.
Although Jerry's ex, she remained his friend,
along with George and kooky Kramer, till the very end.

Premium MemberPhoebe Buffay and Ross Geller

Phoebe Buffay 
Plays her guitar every day
She often sings ‘Smelly cat’
Sadly her voice is very flat

Ross Geller
Is quite a nerdy feller
He said Rachel’s name when he got wed
His bride Emily probably wished him dead!

Ross and Pheobe starred in Friends

Premium MemberWinnie and Rabbit

Winnie the Pooh
And his friends, Rabbit being among them too,
Know that honey is Pooh’s fixation and regular delight,
Eats too much, gets stuck in Rabbit’s front door, a true blight!

Rabbit
Is a fusspot and has an obsession to lead, in fact a habit,
He pushes hard to release our bear, an impossible chore,
Tells Pooh he eats too much honey, Pooh blames his tiny door!

Premium MemberCome Out Devil Made Lester Would Often Say

Devil Made Lester was a crazy young guy
Insisted on this nickname, wrote it in the sky
Made his Christian mother blush,
And his sister-brother sigh.

Come out! Devil Made Lester would often said.
You have only one life, and then you’re dead.
Sister-brother was too shy.
Scared to tell she was a guy.
Weekend friends were the ones who called her Fred.

Devil Lester tried every trick
To make his brother come out quick
His sister-brother stayed in the dark.
Amazed at daring Devil Lester’s bark

Premium MemberJulius Caesar

Julius Caesar
                 Cleopatra loved when he squeezed her
                  He gave us July as a souvenir
                 And it was he who gave us the leap year!

              Caesar loved the ladies a ton
             With many a damsel he had lots of fun
             He made himself ruler forever
             Maybe that was not too clever
           Brutus, who killed him, may have been his son!

         In the ides of March  his rule came to an end
         As he was killed by those he thought were friends
          Sometimes it's hard to know your foes
          But who needs enemies with friends like those

Premium MemberPresident Donald Trump

President Donald Trump,
Who ran pretty much into a stump,
Clearly, repeatedly by heedless losers,
Proof and evidence to his false accusers.

*I do not, personally, find this sorta stuff interesting enough to follow, but do find it inescapable on the duped tube, whereto, I have silenced for a couple of years now to distance myself from this kinda rhetoric--yet, unable to avoid my family and friends whose talk of it whilst in their company.

Premium MemberSilver, Cash, Gold

Shel Silverstein has penned gold, dear friends,
The Missing Piece, The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends...
Still, I was surprised to find that he wrote, too
Johnny Cash’s hit, “A Boy Named Sue.”
