Premium MemberS A P

My first girl friends name was Shirley,
her hair was near blond and not curly.
She was tall and svelte,
and smile made me melt.
for her teeth were all white and pearly.

Premium MemberSTUMBLE AND RISE-Gravity and I

STUMBLE AND RISE (Gravity and I)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gala event, a minefield of hope and dread,
Winners announced, toward the stage were formally led.
     My name was called; I tripped, planting my face on the floor,
     Embarrassed was I, my ego damaged, my pride done for. 
“Gravity and I are in a toxic relationship,” I said, my face turning red.

Premium MemberRemembering Nine-eleven

Today’s anniversary marks twenty four years,
of the Nine-Eleven Attack that was given to fears.
As a bell denotes the dead,
each name will be read.
On a day in history that was awash with tears.

Premium MemberTall And Thin

His name was Dan but most called him “snake”,
we listened intently to each thing that he spake.
His voice would croak,
and that is no joke,
Because he was different we thought him a flake.

From precious stone, a pebble

If not nigh like dotcom bubble
AI seems in no small trouble.
GPT five’s failure,
Would the rest regain roar?
If ever rise from near rubble?

Note: Is AI a bubble, too much hype and boisterous babble? Is a bust coming? GPT5 admitted a flop show. Nvidia gave but a modest forecast. MIT study: 95% of dreams failed to deliver… Time was when adding ‘.com’ to a company’s name boosted its value. Today, adding ‘AI powered’ does the same trick. Too much is being expected from AI too soon. Anyway, AI seems to have hit a wall. Would it scale it to move ahead, or a precious stone turn a pebble? This ditty wonders.


Premium MemberI said, 'Okay! Let's play a little game'

I said, "Okay! Let's play a little game.
I'll pick a number, and I'll pick a name.
And if you can guess neither,
you'll have to watch my Peter,
while I paint your new door and the new frame."

Premium MemberGATSBY

GATSBY*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gatsby’s my name, character of Fitzgerald fame.
Nick saw through the façade and my game.
     I partied and danced through the night,
     Chasing dreams that weren’t quite right.
Then there was Daisy, jazz’s grande dame.

I lived in a mansion that sparkled at night,
I threw bashes hoping to be Daisy’s shining knight. 
     But the glitz and the glam,
     Were a mere flashy sham,
Alas, George kills me, a vengeful, murderous sight. 

*The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, follows the story of Nick Carraway, who moves to Long Island in the summer of 1922 and becomes entangled in the lives of his wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby, and Gatsby's former lover, Daisy Buchanan. (Wikipedia Encyclopedia)

Premium MemberMIDNIGHT MUNCHIES I'm in a Terrible Jam

MIDNIGHT MUNCHIES! I’M IN A TERRIBLE JAM….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At midnight, my stomach grumbled
With snacks in the pantry, I fumbled
     On the shelves high and low,
     Chocolate cookies. Say no!
But tripped on my cat and then tumbled!

Toward the fridge I tiptoed with glee,
For it holds a treasure trove for me.
     There's a jar of sweet jam, tight
     I’m stuck with tasteless yam, terrible plight!
With spoon and my cravings, an eating spree! 

Oh, the brownies were calling my name.
They ‘made me’ lose the dieter’s game.
     Each chocolate bite I took,
     My belly constantly shook,
Now my waistline will never be the same!

If caught coddling at Coldplay

Time was each bullet bore some name,
Each lens now does nigh but the same.
Privacy’s all but dead
If not on a deathbed,
Love at Coldplay? Ne’er a lens blame.

Note: Yes, privacy is all but dead. Social media have put it on a deathbed. If there’s any doubt, what happened recently in a public performance of Coldplay the ubiquitous lens should remove it.

Premium MemberShort, Green and Squat

     I once knew a seer, name of Hortense
     Who specialized in ominous portents
        Said I should marry a toad
        Long as he cleaned and he sewed
      I said, ‘You go first ~ It makes so much sense’

Premium MemberShe’s No Longer Dry - bawdy limerick warning

My auntie, who was on vacation
Was lusting for fast fornication
She met a well-hung guy
But her foo-foo’s too dry
She blurted, “It needs lubrication!”

The fella, whose first name was Dick
Said, “Stay put. I’ll be back real quick
I’ll purchase sticky Jell-O
‘Twill turn your foof bright yellow
But ensures my entry is slick!"

The Jell-O lube worked really well
Dick satisfied my Auntie Mel
Next time she needs some lube
She’ll melt a Jell-O cube
Aunt’s shagged out. I think you can tell!

Premium MemberA Strange Pair

There was an old man from Fargo,
With a wife whose name was Margo.
They were quite the pair
Neither had much hair
They traveled the world with no cargo!

Premium MemberThe Hairs on Fred's Head

      I once knew a lad, name of Fred
      It seems that a cow licked his head
         His back hairs went one way
         While his front hairs did stay
      Better than the other way ~ Fred!

Premium MemberBig Kirk

There once was a man whose name was Jack.
Wasn’t well liked, he always talked smack.
One day at work,
He met Big Kirk,
Who taught him not to talk behind his back.

Premium MemberNaming First Born

A young couple next door just had a new girl,
They looked at me for ideas so I gave it a whirl.
Since she’s a gem,
I’d name her Kim,
Both quickly replied that our Gem will be Pearl.
