jokes they sound

To make others aware of rules, I've written rhymes
Using guile and humour, with earnest hope they'll hear

So I...

Perfumed prairie pinwheels, paper two-ply.

Heaving hitting heartfelt Harry hopping high.

Ballooning blissful blossoms beaconing blue Babe,
Luxurious lumberjack licking lemonade.
Merry mashing marshmallows mysteriously made.
Fine frolicking French frankfurters...

I have seen mentors become tormenters 
I have seen Shepherds lead there flocks
To the gates of hell like Berizebu

Beyond forested mountains and valleys

And measure my virtues and vices.

Sometimes she is such a stroppy madam!

Thirteen on a Friday is a day some hate,
Rendering believers to an anxious state.
I’m not going outside, for it’s an evil day,
Say those who sincerely think this way.
Know something untoward will take place,

Check the date and time
My appointment looms
Just three days to go

And inhale the soothing scent
It calms my nerves

Casarah wants us to write happy
That’s not an easy job

She’s turned into quite a snob

She won’t let me write a poem that’s funny 
Not even a short limerick
