The once was a group on Fourth of July
Who partied with all that money could buy
Games and food suited their mood
A flaming dessert seemed good
Until a roman candle torched their pie
There once was a wombat named Dora
Found foraging in grassy flora.
Her scat, it came out square;
The bush rat said, "Not fair—
Can't you hide that very odd aura!”
I ate a tiny biscuit
It was too sweet and cinnamonly? --
I Guess
So
Cause
It WaS a frosted vanilla iced covered

My Charlie cat, many long years ago
would use a pet door to come in and go.
But at times he gave way
let a neighborhood stray
sneak in, eat his food, pretend not to know.
'A Guide to a Bonfire Win'
Good food and good cheer with your kin.
Some beer and grilled meat,
a special sweet treat,
and wash it all down with some gin!
Cranked up the victrola to max damage
Put on a little Zeppelin, so savage
When the neighbors got mad
I played Sir Galahad
Come play pickleball ~ first we’ll eat cabbage
My dad was a meat and potatoes man
Stuff like quiche, wine and cheese he couldn’t stand
Mom once served him Chinese
Dad said, “Mom, if you please
Dump that lo mein in a foreign trash can”

AABBA 5 LINES
There once was an old man called santa
Who loved a big glass of cold fanta
He grew fatter and fatter and fatter
Couldn’t stop eating sausage in batter
He sure had good banter
There once was a man on a beach,
Watching sweet cherries within reach,
Fear of being told,
For sweetness he’d hold,
He settled for sundae with peach.
Goldberg fiddles, twirling his pastrami
Hears tell of this new Mayor Mamdani
Who would love to say farewell
To the State of Israel
Chicken soup replaced by a tsunami
The little gnome-like Rumpelstiltskin
spun straw into gold thinking he'd win
the queen's infant child
but then got so riled
when she spoke his name, to his chagrin!
In the story Little Red Riding Hood
(woods full of danger, a basket of food),
the hungry wolf, big and bad,
a reprehensible cad,
was outwitted by a maiden so good!
It is raining cats and dogs I see
Weather forecast says it’s mostly beastly
Umbrellas ain’t no good
Can’t go out for food
We’ll just stay home and watch AKC/CFA* on TV

(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.
A little ‘taco’ we love to call ‘Nico’
Entered our school straight from Puerto Rico
Made out of old horse meat
Toppings of gopher feet
Our lunchtime sure did become a freak show
I thought of a great way to make money.
"Bee, what's your recipe to make honey?"
She said, "You can't raise that sum",
and stung me right on the bum,
and she thought it was awfully funny.
