Yellow spot.
Turtle dove.
Lemon squeeze.
Take offence follow lines.
Blow the trumpet and harken the seven skies.
Rage baited called a clown.
Honey suckle my baby doll.
Moon over my hammy calls to me with her hazel eyes she shines greatly.
Juniper Diamond ravaging.
Walnut clothed heavy cream.
Nine toes ten paths all lead me to my King.
Jesus Christ Lord of Lords.
All Hail Jesus forever.
Yellow Spot blue turtle dove.
Mint toffee crimson blood.
He paid the price for our sins rose from the dead defeated death itself.
Awaiting my Pirate Queen of Czechia.
( A Definition )

Like an omelette I am cheesy and I tell some hammy jokes
When I flip it to the punchline I don't always land the yolks
I scramble at the thought of keeping it farm fresh
Cracking under pressure like a shell in place of flesh
Whenever I look way up, I can see the sunny side
That can be exhausting and I really feel fried
Sometimes it comes overeasy, not to say they've never spoiled
Still breaking if you drop em' even if they are hard boiled
Maybe I can make you queasy if I'm being really raw
So I will never claim to be totally free range of flaw
Hope this hasn't been too runny, and a laugh or two I've poached
If so I'll take, shake it, bake it for the time I have encroached
Next time you're feeling beaten, just whisk it up aways
Turn up the heat, add some spice before starting the hollandaise
Not to nag or rag or beg, but crack a yolk and shake a leg
To be a fun egg or a pun egg or just a damn great egg

Hammy the Hamster had no particular talent that he knew.
He did have a long fat tail that spectacularly grew and grew
One day he fell into some paints, and his paws turned out blue.
He made the cutest prints on a canvas, then slid in some glue.
You are an artist! His mother and father said, admiring him so.
They told every hamster from Des Moines to KoKoMo.
He has been featured in Art Magazines and has had a show.
His favorite paints are the psychedelic acrylics that really glow.
His limerick's can be cunning and a bit hammy ~Tom Cunningham

Meet Mr. Hamuel Porkington
His closest friends call him “Hammy”
A special hard working farmer
With an extremely industrious family
With his pretty and faithful wife “Porksy”
And their ten little chopperettes
They're known in the town of Swillsville
As the nicest pig family you've met
For providing hot meals to the needy
And sheltering them from the cold
They've received a special recognition
One of the greatest stories told
The President recently visited them
Warmly welcomed by the Porkingtons
They treated their guest to Hominy Grits
And homemade Tennessee bourbon
The President granted them a special honour
Which everyone was in total accord
With tree bark, worms and garbage for life
And a prestigious achievement award
So raise your pitch forks, raise 'em on high
In salute of this family of corkers
Heroes like these don't come by very often
They're a very special breed of porkers

Amidst the budding
branches the Robin sings, the song is
carried tunefully in the spring air.
denoting that all is well in his world
Every sound listened to by all
from tiny field mice scurrying looking for food. to the
giant grazing cattle happily eating the young grass
Hammy hedgehog listens, his little tongue
is busy eating the cat food left out.
Jewel like blades of wet grass hide the
Koi carp swimming
lazily in the garden ponds, enjoying the sun's warmth.
Many beds of daffodils their perfume intermingle with the
nearby tulips who stand tall, their many hues
overcome your senses, the tiny snowdrops
perfume infuse with the hyacinths as they all
quietly make the colour and perfume of Spring.
Raised temperatures, bring out the people to enjoy the
sunshine to their bones, lifting their souls.
Taking notes of what has survived the winter,
unhappy when they find a favourite
variety of plant
wilted under the pressures of winter's
Xtreme cold.
Yes, spring means a smile to the face, a tear to ones eyes,
zest to the soul.

Hammy the hamster’s gone to Heaven
We didn’t say goodbye
I loved him oh so dearly
Why did he have to die
I just got up this morning
And found him in the loo
My little pet, his fur all wet
What am I going to do
My little brother Liam said
Don’t worry, he’ll be fine
I thought he’d like a little swim
Last night at half past nine
Now little Liam is ill in bed
And Mummy’s in a rage
Cos I force fed little Liam
With the bits from Hammy’s cage
Somebody’s stolen my hamster
It was there when I went up to bed
My sister is sitting there laughing
And saying my hamster is dead
She thinks that it’s ever so funny
That Hammy keeled over and died
Then she showed me where Hammy was buried
And I fell to my knees and I cried
The tears only lasted a minute
When a thought entered into my head
If my hamster has gone up to heaven
Can I have a new puppy instead ?
