LIGHT VERSE AND NONSENSE VERSE III

The Humpback

beware the enemy who can
fart your national anthem
it was a mob scene at the microphone
kill him kill him they laughed
nobody wanted to miss the show

The facts of life, O birds and bees,
how getting aroused, can trigger a sneeze,
Weird as it seems, science explains,

Living my life was such a threat
so when I decided to write this poem

And where did I leave my soul?
I had it yesterday before the lecture,
Where I took in so so much,
And I’ve never known so little since,
I ran for 30 seconds and...

when it's clearly achoo
or call you a nut 
when you have a loose screw

Spring's not all about feeling chirpy good,

A thousand drummers playing drums
within my head, 
like firecrackers bursting, 
Rivers of (whatever) oozing out, 
Trickling eyes, prickling nose, 
Snee..achoo!..zing...and sneezing...and sneezing! 
Every muscle aches, 
Feeling fatigued and flushed, 
Puffy eyes, stuffy nose, 
Bouts of...

He was struggling with the dreaded bird flu
He loved to dance and sing
And a crowd it would bring
Until he " achoo-ed", his fans then flew

Pleasantness of spring. Sun’s
Rays and showers will fulfill their
Intended purpose, engendering

Good-bye to winter’s last cold blast.

and all day, too, with farmer Byron’s crew
of sheep, that is, that wander underneath

Howdy-do Spring…achoo…grab a tissue.
Grass grows Godiva-strong. It’s as I fear -
For all your beauty brag, I’ve an issue.

Here goes: my t-shirt clings with salty-sweat.
The sun is harsh…it’s heart...
