Harley Date

He showed up dressed in black leather
Dates aren’t meant to last forever
     It wasn’t just fun  
     He was on the run
A hostage date was --quite clever 

Snap, Crackle, Pop

Just two more hours till the Royal Ball

Alas, this zit wouldn't fade at all

Since no ointment would ease

I just gave it a squeeze

It crackled, then it spackled the wall


I knew soon that company would call

But how to hide that goop on the wall

Left no clues with my clothes 

Wiped the ooze from my nose

Looks like

ICHABOD THE TURTLE

ICHABOD THE TURTLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a snapping turtle named Ichabod,
An intrepid soul, his legs lightning rods.
    Rabbits, he outpaced, left them confused,
    And with his speed, they were not amused. 
Oh how all the other turtles did applaud!

“You run like a Greek god!” they said agog.
“Why do you have

The Colorful Hobo

Kids are spreading the news around
The circus is coming to town!
Colorful hobo
How could the kid know
Thought he had seen a circus clown

ink's strange health effects

Hegseth’s hateful inked tattoos stink
Women all know he's rinky-dink
As his antidote
He’ll rescind girl’s vote
But undressed now Peter does shrink

A WARDROBE MISHAP

A WARDROBE MISHAP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel named Marilyn,
In a dress made of white, she was a twirlin’.
With a gust of fresh air on her derriere,
She danced with nary a care,
And the male squirrels cheered, “You’re a sexy darlin’!”

But one day, as she twirled and leapt with delight,
Her dress caught a branch in mid-flight.
With a

As Idaho Leaves

For fifteen long years Idaho stayed

Like a rich tapestry laid

From Boise Mountains warm glow

To the Treasure Valley below

Memories now ghostly with edges frayed

Sprocket Man

The space race, now racing with rockets

Though cheapest, wore the deepest pockets

I hope that they're hiring 

Soon after a firing

Need a job at Spacely Space Sprockets

Justifying Plagiarism

Seems plagiarism, isn’t a crime
Let’s copy lines we deem sublime
Perhaps from Shakespeare
Or wit Edward Lear
And poet’s deceased a long time

It's pointless alerting admin
Cos stealing work’s not deemed a sin
It’s really not fair
To steal works out there
It happened much to our chagrin

Known clichés which are now passé
Just copy them and post away
Then act with denial
Sit tight,

JOY BY THE CANDLELIGHT

JOY BY THE CANDLELIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside walls where shadows dance bright,
Lived Max the mouse, heart full of light.
     By the soft candle's glow,
     He would shiver, you know,
As he warmed his tiny paws through the night.

In the glow of the moon, Max felt bold,
With stories of cheese to be

Trump and his fig leaf of tariff

To trump, US dreams depend on tariff,
The math adds up or not, nor yet what if,
A tree’s just tree to him,
Minutiae, mental gym,
To him enough is a fig leaf.

Note: It’s just beyond Trump to understand that if high tariffs make it tough for the exporters, it also makes it

Solidarity Soldiers

They use their words to prod and poke us

Then use their laws to sod or stoke us

Let's sit down for the fight

Worldwide workers unite

Ain't it time that Ghandi awoke us



Sorry friends, this isn't intended to be humorous

SLEEPING WITH THE FAN ON

SLEEPING WITH THE FAN ON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Texas, where summers are more than hot,
Sleeping with a fan turned on is a must-have spot.
     With a whirl and a breeze,
     It brings sweet, cool ease,
While we snooze in a sweat-soaked, warm cot!

We sleep while it spins with a roar,
As sweat

Betty's Ready

Archie Arbuckle yearned to sample 

Betty's breasts that were more than ample

He flinched when he saw 'em

Then pinched 'em and pawed 'em 

Oh my! What a lovely example 


She giggled, cuz it tickled his lust 

As he wiggled and jiggled her bust 

His affection won't lie

It stood up and said "Hi"

I'll take one for the

Poetry Thief

Mara loves to steal from others
A skill well learned with no druthers
Paraphrase one word or two,
Hoping no one has a clue
Her poems formed from another's

Mara cannot hide behind her word crime
And pretending to, is a waste of time
Poems and words can be traced,
to a new plagiarism case
She needs to stop and find a new pastime
