Ground hog day
Groundhog Day
Same four walls, same aching head,
same bitter tea, same empty bread.
Same street outside with the sirens loud,
same slow shuffle through the same old crowd.
Same pointless talk, same hollow smile,
same heavy heart that’s not worth the while.
Same bed at night where I lie and pray,
to wake to a world that ain’t this day.
But it’s the

Kamikaze Karma
A Kamikaze peddler
Who follows his nose
fluorescent green Lycra
A middle finger he shows
Slower than a snail
As wide as truck
Forget the highway code
He pushes his luck.
Side by side they pedal
Three or four deep
Then they become violent
If you give them a beep
They own the road
and there’s no mistake
Zip through red lights
No prisoners they

hog fog bog cog dog
in a barnyard pen sits a happy hog
bullfrogs in a blizzard bog
dense and daring grayish fog
a curious machine with a metal cog
a summertime yip from a happy dog
going on a jaunty jubilant jog
black ants sliding on a wet log
chef includes New Years eve eggnog
love to rhyme hog fog bog cog and dog

hot hog
the motorcycle streaked past us so fast, I thought “night rider”
Plus there were flames and it seemed to be on fire
I wish it would slow down I thought.
The hog instantly stopped near my driveway.
I was astonished, for it had no rider.
A bike full of flames, streaking through the neighborhood.
I ran to get my camera, hoping

Mary Sue Hank Next Door My Hog And Houndog
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night
In my ramshackle torn straw old bed
The mice are chewing my toes
And the bedbugs bite
Elephants dancing in my head
I think to myself
"It's not a bad life I can't complain''
Just as the cat Catherine
Once again wee's on the bed!!!!
????!!!!!!
I just can't understand why

Ground Hog on Groundhog Day
Groundhog promised he would never oversleep again.
On February second they sent out the annoying wren.
He could not rouse groundhog from his slumber.
So Mom and Dad went over, in a wagon-lumber.
They made as much noise as they dared outside.
Finally going into his bedroom and shaking his hide.
Groundhog was irritated and terribly grumpy too.
I think it was

Team Made Fun of Boss Hog
He got made fun of in the boys locker room
When he took off his trunks and gave them a moon
You must have worn a suit on the beach today!
He was so angry, he decided to make them pay
It’s bad enough to be the largest hog on the team
Making fun of his tan line was incredibly

Skull On a Hog
all around Detroit we heard a vrrrooom vrrrooom
It’s a skull on a hog! It spells instant doom!
This was said by a naysayer who is always full of gloom.
I stood by the road to wave at the vrrrooom vrrrooom
It was a skull on a hog with orange streaming hair behind him
He asked if I wanted a

Drama Queen Hog
she waddled over and stuck in her toe
ooh! it’s cold she squealed with a feminine glow
the rest of us sows ignored her, she is a drama queen
she walked out to the end of the diving board then, so serene
she won’t ever jump one of the hogs said, she’s a faker
she passed gas all the way

Showed Her I'M Boss Hog
Last night I showed my humble gratitude
To a sweet sow with pulchritude
She served as a shield
Or I would've squealed
When the farmer wanted me barbequed
Now, all she eats is pizza; Totino's
Whines that she needs help with the bambinos
But diapers are crappy
Not a chore for pappy
I'd rather gamble at the casino

Road Hog Blues
To the unknown sports car driver
Who caused us so much fright
May the roads be full of traffic
When you attempt to turn right.
May you spend many hours
Constantly being stuck
Behind a series of slow moving
Wide loaded trucks
May all the traffic lights
Be stuck at stop
And no comfort stations
When you need a pit stop.
May there be many road works
On

Samantha the Prettiest Hog
Samantha was the prettiest hog in the field for sure.
The only one here in this meadow, but that did not stop her.
From admiring herself in the cool farm pond’s reflection.
Frankly, Samantha could not see any flaw or imperfection.
A summer butterfly with dots and squiggles came by.
It landed on Samantha’s pretty snout, who knows why?
You have

Sow Needs Extra Tlc
I would like a little candy dish on my head please, the sow said.
We filed past, trying to ignore the sweet spectacle on her head.
She is always trying for extra attention hissed old goose Jed.
Maybe she needs a bit more TLC, observed Beau a chowder head.
I am tired of Old Sow getting all of the

A Relief To the Sow
Thanksgiving Day and the cats are out meowing the dogs.
Of course they are, dogs cannot meow, said the hogs.
But the turkey were silent, coming out of the oven now.
They were tasty and crunchy; it was a relief to the sow.
