As cock of the walk and feeling cocky
I cocked a snook or two
derisive snorts more than cheeky
with a cock-a-doodle-doo
at her cock-a-leekie
and when she cocked an eye at me
on the moment's spur
I first cocked my hat
then cocked an eye at her
on a slippery slope downhill slide
absurd it was because
we were now both cockeyed
The man in the elevator smelled like cheese doodles
he gave off a pungent odor, I nearly lost my noodle!
Lifting his arm he scratched a Seborrheic greasy head
so I plugged my nose, but something began to spread
Beside him I felt like a Cockeyed Susan with wobbly legs
so I broke wind then cried, " OMG I think I ate rotten eggs!
Through watery eyes he solemnly replied, " its Ok !"
I'm nose-blind anyway, heh lady, parler vous francais?
Well I didn't speak French but I couldn't stand the stench
so in my best Russian accent I spoke deeply with a clench
He asked me "what floor?" just before I ran out the door
for I was about to puke, and I couldn't take it anymore !
I love cock-eyed whangdoodle writing
When frogs are croaking and fish are biting
I adore silly missives with cartoon-like stuff
Of child-like fun I simply cannot get enough
cockeyed mice played saxophones at the table
anyway, the loudest one does, the other we call Mable.
they scurry around as fast and far as they are able
stealing from the kitchen, the laundry room and stable.
cockeyed mice love to dance, dart, wiggle and sing.
we see them running in the corners of everything
there is screaming sometimes as they dash and zing.
the soft spoken mouse goes by the name of Wing.
cockeyed pincushion
stabbed prickly but no blood
i admire you
so puffed up and proud
always ready for grandma
i poke you silly
Cockeyed Weathervane
Whizzing along on an old time train,
I looked out the window at a cockeyed weathervane.
The engineer saw it, too, stepped on the whoo whoo!
To call our attention to this historical hen aroo.
Seems of all the weather predicted hereabouts,
That hen's eye cocked fooled all of the louts,
They planted during rain, and picked corn from the snow,
Just cause they believed that hen's eye where it'd go.
Worked pretty well, though, for many a yar,
Tractors went sideways and so did the cars.
Barns's roofs were crooked, and so were the houses.
That cockeyed weathervane even fooled horses.
Wagons drove in circles, and the kids grew up twisted,
Moms baked bagels that looked double fisted.
But the town folks all laughed all the way to the bank,
They had all the tourists who laughed at them to thank
