Labour party on the precipice pegging all hopes on Andy
Come forth the King of the North who’s more than handy
Begging voters with a new orifice in office sweet as candy
No self harmer Starmer karma so will be fine and dandy
Novice compared to Boris when it’s comes to being randy
Chequers not mecca for shady sort cohorts on the brandy
Burnham’s bid to get rid of the avarice & malice of Mandy
Andy no pinko champagne socialist working class shandy
The Mayor with flair and great hair becomes the grandee
Flashes those eyelashes an ego plea everyone look at me
Gooey cheese he does bestow like Barry Manilow’s Mandy
Don't tease Andy be a tandy & give muppet Farage a pandy
With new brand & a hand from Ed Milliband & Lisa Nandy
Free from company tyranny he’s not a puppet "Andy Pandy"?
Times Up Folks! Its 3:15!
What's half the span
from 40 to 15,
added to 3 O'clock time?
Its 3:13, 3:13!
OK, but what's half the span
From 40 to 2,
when IC is back from the Gong?
Its 3:19, 3:19!
So, what's the mean
of 3:13 and 3:19,
in clock time?
Ah Ha! That's a Question
It's 3:15 - It's 3:15!
I asked sailor Mike
Why he's so Mean
when you take his wind away!
He thinks and says:
'Cause we're sailing, sailing,
past my suppertime
past my suppertime
I want to head back in!
Time's up, I'm going in.
OK, but what's the mean time
For all our P races this season?
You guessed it, folks!
It's 3:15 - It's 3:15!
I asked Jake the Peg
"Do we need and extra leg"
diddle-iddle-iddle-um
diddle-dee-diddle-dee-dum
Nah! he said:
Two Tri's and two Snags
with a work back home,
is just fine and dandy!
You can't beat perfection
by over doing it.
Times Up! It's 3:15
It's 3:15 - It's 3:15!
Edgar Alan Poe stirred our emotions so
with tales of horror and woe
Today bombs are dropped like candy
which for the winners is fine and dandy
A New Etheree Poem Any Theme Poetry Contest

I
Dated
A sweet man
We fell in love
To a drummers beat
All was fine and dandy
Except his love for Brandy
His secret lover tore us up
He loved the liquor, hops, and spirits
And I'd fight her off and send him packing
Once there was a boy named Louie
Who loved candy, soft and chewy,
He swallowed one whole,
And it took a pole
To rescue the candy gooey;
Once the candy was taken out,
Louie began to cry and shout,
"Give me more candy,
I'm fine and dandy",
And glowered with a stubborn pout;
His mom refused, "You'll become stout,
And develop a rotten snout,
No candy for you
Till homework you do,
And then we'll go fishing for trout".

New yellow striped tabby was wooed by the crowd.
They were mysterious to him, scary and loud.
They invited him to come have kibble bites and tea.
He asked his mama “Why do they all want me?”
You are a new guy to the neighbors the mother said.
Take it as a compliment but don’t let it go to your head.
But I want to stay here and snuggle with you Mommy.
She loved that too; it was comfy as anything could be.
New yellow striped tabby sent back a couple of accepts.
He had tea and kibble bites, and donut holes full of sardine flecks.
This is fine and dandy he told his Mama Dear.
But in truth, the best thing of all is to stay and snuggle here.
Ghosts and Goblins
Witches and Wizards
Halloween Costumes
For two legged lizards
Pirates and Princesses
Mermaids and Sharks
Prepubescent Prowlers
On an evening lark
Tricks and Treats
Pumpkins and Sweets
Masquerading Munchkins
Fill up the streets
Fun and Games
Fine and Dandy
Night Delights
Bags full of candy
Steaming spaghetti and garlic bread.
On a warmed red-checkered plate.
With aromatic, hot, garlic bread.
For my epicurean tastes is just fine and dandy!
Would be nice though, if served by a handsome,
Italian waiter.
~~~~I call that, some ravishing eye candy~~~~

Sam dated Sandy, things were fine and dandy
Born into middle class means, they were killing that high school scene
One afternoon in Sandy’s bedroom their play went all the way
And the Angels wept that day
Sandy felt that they would marry, though Sam soon had his eye on Sally
Now Sam chased Sally, soon after that it was Allie
Sandy, Sally, and Allie; to Sam they were no more than tallies
And the Angels wept at this reality
Now across the nation, we can find these relations
Occurring in high schools from Bangor to Bakersfield
Thus, today another voiceless soul was ripped away as a right
And the Angels will weep again tonight
Rollo Rigby was a lover of candy
he kept a big supply ever handy.
But he became so obese
he waddled like geese.
He quit candy but is hooked on brandy
(making his life fine and dandy).
When all are fine and dandy
And all are rich and dumb
We'll all go down to randy
and bare a ditch and slum
I can’t stand my brother Randy,
stole all my Halloween candy!
He said, “it’s all fine and dandy."
Guess I’ll just get more from Sandy!
I can’t even tell mom and dad,
they could blame me for being bad!
Why would he play a monster trick
thinking he’s sly and very slick.
As soon as he swiped, he ran quick,
I tried to push and tried to kick-
Randy robbed my candy in fright…
ruining my Halloween night!
May Randy see a severe scold-
as the night begins to unfold.

If I were your brother Poetry Contest
Bobby May
Furtive, I would slip away
any poor excuse
would do, make my way
across the lawn
into building twenty-two
Secretive and circuitous
I took an odd and winding
route... While bustling
they had no time
to wonder what
I was about
Far removed from
fluorescent gleam
conveyor belts and
machinery-
a soft-lit, silent
posh retreat
damask-lined walls
with greenery
Oddly placed
within the building
inconvenient
(so they said)
a glorious refuge
for an introvert
a quiet space to
clear my head
Oh, the job had
the usual “benefits”
health, vision, and 401K
and that was all just
fine and dandy
great and A-okay...
We even had
our own mini fridge
to store our food
as bitter drama
had ensued over
brown-bag bandits
(in days past)
We even had our very own
stereo to blast
And the HR lady
gave me the run-down
my first day
all the benefits
and perks
but I must say...
she left one out-
No doubt, the loveliest
perk of all
was that elegant
public restroom
in PR, (so fancy
without stalls)
hands-down the very best
job “benefit” of all!
___
Memories of my old job... where, evidently, a fancy restroom was the highlight of my career! ;D
I'm living in Oklahoma
That green country fresh aroma
Life sweet as could be
All fine and dandy
Till I lapsed into an okra coma
