You can make them by the dozens, or one or two will do
Make them for your...

It’s hard these days for a crook.
Go anywhere around and take a look.
Ain’t no shops to rob of jewelry.
They all closed up and got security.
Not even restaurants for him to rob,
and at the grocers’ Lordy...

Poetry is about faith, a song, and sometimes a checkup.
It’s about that girl on the other side you want to link up.

We had missed five days in
The last two weeks
Due to the ice and snow.
Roads and streets had been impassable—

Than chomping on a juicy steak
Gulping down a gallon of beer
Or stuffing your face with cake

Eating can be the greatest thrill
Known to the common man

The Mother of Invention
Has given birth once more
And her new baby
Is as mad as before

Eddison or Tesla
Would spill their tea
I know because it happens to me

Baby suspenders?

I need to ask a question
Does anybody know
Who made up these crazy sayings
Like walking to and fro

They say it sales like hotcakes
Do hotcakes really sell
They call a skunk a polecat
Is that something to do with...

Do you feel it too
    You know, the graying of Halloween

  For several decades it was all the rage
    for Sonny-and-Cher-like adults, whatever their age

I got your honey in my tea take a sip like a fine wine 
You wont deny that i got you tongue tied 
Like black people...
