Premium MemberTony the Tiger

There was a tiger named Tony
his passion was for tasty macaroni ~
For some obscure reason, the powers that be
decided bowls of frosted flakes it would be

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse
Still struts through each media house,
With hose stretched tighter than his grin,
And yellow shoes too big for his thin shin.

Premium MemberPopeye

The sailorman named Popeye
better known as Olive Oyl’s guy
seemed nothing more than an affable fishmonger
until he downed spinach to make him stronger

Premium MemberYosemite Sam

by me kyle walker caycay son for fun not contest

Yosemite Sam
always stumbled upon a jam.
Each time he would yell ' tarnation.'  
Altercations most have caused elation.


Premium MemberElmer Had A Habit

Elmer Fudd had a habit 
He hunted for a Silwy Wabbit 
Bugs Bunny was his name 
What's up Doc... was his fame 

Wile E. Coyote 
Had been smoking peyote 
So, he thought it looked funny 
Elmer Fudd shooting at Bugs Bunny

Premium MemberWoody Woodpecker


Woody Woodpecker happily pecks in his tree-house decent,
mean landlady Meany evicts him, for he doesn’t pay the rent.
So, he plans his antics, stops real estate to sprawl in his forest,
tricks Lance, the harassed lawyer, to gift him a new tree-nest.

Premium MemberBugs Bunny

What's up doc repeats Bugs Bunny
thinking he's being cute and funny
sounding like a wily parrot
while posing chewing on his carrot

Premium MemberCharlie Brown


Leader of Peanuts gang Charlie Brown
Plays mean football without backing down
But when main crush  Red Haired Gal arrives
He dreadfully runs...attacked by hives!

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.

Bugs Bunny:
a cartoon character who was more than just funny.
His way of dealing with rivals was shrewd.

was New York smartass funny:
he showed no fondness for parrots,
but was well-disposed towards carrots.
