Earl the Squirrel

there is a squirrel named Earl
who came out of his nest in a burl
it was said one day
he went out to play
and found something better than pearls

Earl Grey

A cup of tea is what I need to start off each and every day
and if that tea is going to get me through then it must be Earl Grey

I am not quite sure what it is about that exact type of tea 
is there magic in bergamot because it's so pleasing to me

I close my eyes as I hold my mug and just take in that smell
the aroma tickles my nose and lets me know all is going to be well

When my cup of tea is all gone, I know there is nothing I can't do
except for patiently wait for the second cup of tea I have around two

If you've never tried Earl Grey, I hope you will give it a chance
it's the best tea to start your little tea romance

earl grey tea

in this cup is earl grey

joyful tea passion play

bergamot wish

taste nevermiss

quenching bliss lasts all day.

The Ballad of William Earl-

I knew a man nicknamed "Merle"
His first two names were William Earl 
He wasn't a mama's boy 
a singer playwright director joy 
He wasn't infamous yet semi-famous berle

Tears For Earl Simmons Draft

No more dmx 
A vigil held. A body put to rest

Tears were spilled 
A dog killed

Loved in life
But more in death

I cried for you
I know, not what dogs do

So rest in power earl 
For a moment you effected the world

If only you knew how many people you touched 
This poem just isn't enough 

But it's all I can do 
Tears for earl Simmons 

We will miss you...

Earl and His Pearl

there once was a sad mollusk named earl
who always lived in constant peril
when someone swam too close by
and flipped sand in his eye
he was forced to make a danged pearl

Earl Grey

Earl Grey

Earl Grey and his Lady
       Were invited out to Tea
“I like this brew my Lady
        I will name it after me”









For Deborah's Epigram Contest

Earl Grey Or Just Darjeeling

I have a funny feeling.
 It is all so unappealing.
 The dollar's hit the ceiling. 
 This may  send the markets reeling.
 If the markets hit the floor,
  Paul says we'll all be poor.
 Oh, how beastly! What a bore!
  But Peter's not so sure:

"Whenever markets crash, 
 it's time to make a splash,"
 and, as Grandma used to say,
  "There'll be another day."

It's time for an excursion,
 not for worry but diversion.
 Who's for cream cakes and tea in Ealing?
 Earl Grey or just Darjeeling?
 We'll have to mend our fences
 and go easy on expenses.

On this may all agree.
 It's always time for tea.

Meet a Dog Nsmed Earl Lee

MEET EARL LEE  (A dog who was named  appropriately)

Great to meet you my name is Earl Lee 
If you say my name real fast it comes out Early
Only sometimes they call me my other name Curly
But I'm not particularly  fond of that
Because  I think it's a suitable name for a cat
Earl Lee sounds quite sedate, a dignified Show Stopping pup
With good things in store who's on his way up
But let's get back to my original plan
If I'm Early to rise I'll be sure to find treats in the cat's sandy pan!

LATER---
Don't get excited I wrote this when I was a sniveling pup
I've since become wiser you could say I've grown up
I no longer indulge in such a strange addiction
But I fooled mom and dad thinking kitty had a real bad obstruction 

They kept looking in her pan like they want her treats too
They looked all over even inside each shoe
They whispered  and said  "I hope she's not constipated"
We'll give her some oil and get this problem extirpated 
What does that mean "oil inside kitty"
Maybe her treats will become oily and slippery

Earl Grey

I taste your bergamot nectar.
Orange rhythms entice any suitor. 
I drizzle you with honey in the midst of true friends
To calm all tensions in the mist of turmoil.
Hence  I shall love you.
You shall love me.
And that is how it shall be.
For all eternity.

Earl Grey

Groggy, in need I arise,
Not bothering to wipe the sleep from my eyes,
Another sleepless night 
as my legs wiggle, and torture me from the inside.

What remedy this time will I try?
I'm not certain, 
it seems everything once has been tried.
So back to the same old, same old, I go -
my Earl Grey.

The cupboard door scrapes open,
Blindly I reach my hand inside,
find the container - find the tea, then
Swing open the small cupboard by the sink,
Grab the tallest mug, water, tear open the pouch, 
And inhale.

Pause - 
Part of my routine,
Inhale the powerful aroma of 
my Earl Grey tea. 

Toss the bag it lands to float on the water
in my large mug, 
Then two minutes in the microwave,
Add the French Vanilla, and I am ready for my buzz.

Ah, here we are, 
I sit on the spare room bed,
Lift my mug and inhale again,
let the flavor fill my head,
and sip, hot, steaming, burning
yet, healing liquid, 
I am hoping it
will relax and return me to my bed.

Earl the Pearl

Earl the Pearl Monroe played basketball
he played guard being five foot three tall

he had great moves on the court
was a businessman off court

in childhood best friend was Knicks fan
he played and he had the best plan

back then Calvin Murphy was I
then after losing don’t ask why

because Earl the Pearl was won again
later in life I finally win

Limerick: Once An Elegant Earl From Eton

Limerick: Once an elegant Earl from Eton

Once an elegant Earl from Eton
Daily dreamed of swinging with Tarzan
In Brazil learned samba
Married virile cougar
Now sells D.V.D.s on Amazon.
