Premium MemberFamily Portrait

Mama Squirrel fussed with her curls,
claiming they were “the finest fall swirls.”
Her leaf-crown of gold,
kept slipping in the cold,
Papa strutted like he was king of the squirrels.

Junior kicked leaves in a blaze,
sending showers of amber in playful displays.
Pumpkins lined the scene,
cider steamed warm between,
and the portrait looks like they were a bit crazed.


Premium MemberThe fight

The three wives of the chief held a meeting.
They came to a consensus on fighting.
Their husband the Chief must make a poster.
To avoid any one of the wife not on the rooster.
These was unanimously agreed at the final meeting.

Premium MemberSome Fairytales - Limericks

(Goldilocks) One bear - two bears- baby makes three, Mommy making hot berry tea and brie. Soup is way too hot, No sleep on a soft cot. New home and not needing to flee.
(Little Red Riding hood) Mommy gave me good advice, maybe I should have listened twice. A wolf I did find, lost my love and mind Now pregnant paying the price.
(The Three Little Pigs) We are three of a family kind, except one got caught in the wind. One got caught by the fire, he was in a house fryer. Wanting new homes space aged designed.

Premium MemberUntitled

there was a young lass named May
whose parents thought a virgin she would stay
one day she missed
then took a test
and said oops I'm in a family way

Premium MemberBadside Manner

Xavier, my family doctor, was blunt, 
He told me my days were numbered, upfront. 
I thought “what a creep”!
Then died in my sleep - 
My heart declined to bear the bilious brunt.


Premium MemberRevenge Is Sweet

I brought her some flowers and red wine
And I hoped that one day she'd be mine
Crept round the back quietly 
And I was aghast to see
Her naked with the neighbour, the swine...

"I was just being neighbourly," said he 
My ex could not even look at me
I saw her phone and real quick
Took a compromising pic
Then sent it to her friends and family...

We put up the family Christmas tree, decorated with lights for all to see. Then, said have you seen the cat ? Within the branches she sat - and all day . . . that's where she wanted to be !

Premium MemberJ D McCaskill

He grew up in a town named Haskell, but his brother was the family rascal. He took no guff, Nor did he bluff, and no one messed with a McCaskill.

Premium MemberThe Sauce is the Boss

Big news! Sponge Bob married Miss Piggy!

Got pregnant and named the kid Twiggy.

Piggy's sauce was the boss,

Twiggy sucked up the sauce,

But, it made Twiggy a bit jiggy!


Her thirst for Piggy's sauce wouldn't stop,

Sucked it down to the very last drop!

Then Twiggy kept yellin',

Her belly kept swellin',

Looked like a seed tick ready to Pop!


Poor Sponge Bob, had no clue what to do,

So, he bounced off the walls till he knew.

Had to drop to his knees,

To give Twiggy a squeeze,

Leaked sauce on herself, Bob, and Mom too!

Premium MemberRiverside Summer Outing


My family joined a summer outing
So excited for swimming and rafting
Mom got our swim vests with suits
Dad just brought his parachutes
And kept eyes on us, flying and shouting.

April Fool’s Day There’s still time to find jokes from think tanks If family offers you a gift say no thanks Not on April first Family is the worst Unless you’re not the brunt of all their pranks Cinco De Mayo Come join the fun on Cinco De Mayo Latinos grab a bat and don’t be shy good fellow Hang the Donald piñatas We’ll serve up the Chiladas Batter up, swing it hard, and aim down low

Premium MemberOut Of Our Hands

A relative who used to be a good fit
Has evolved into something we must admit
Has a unique downside
Like a Jekyll and Hyde
Now if you give him a hand, it might get bit

Premium MemberThe Father of Two

Though frazzled and flummoxed and frayed,
Still, none of it all would he trade.
The father of two
Knew not what to do,
But knew that in love he was paid.

Premium MemberPoetic Justice

My cousin Vince was no prince you see

Just a bully in the first degree 

He'd curse as you went by

Maybe spit in your eye

Or you might get slammed against a tree


Our family knew he was wackadoo

He was our shame and our black sheep too

He might noogie your head

Or just punch you instead 

And once he took a pee on my shoe


At last all the locals took offense

And chose to dispose of cousin Vince

It's where it all went down 

In our quaint little town 

Where they say no one has seen him since
