*A very loose form of Limerick,
but Mabel deserves lots of syllables.
There once was a waitress with the name of Mabel
Who used her bosom as a restaurant table
Beneath her double chins
Mabel flaunted her twins
The one on the right, Cain and the left one, Abel
The locals knew not to make fun of the lady
Ol' Teddy swaggered in, looking kinda shady
He taunted her with smut
She punched him in the gut
That's the last we all saw of Teddy O'Grady
Mabel looked real nice in her crimson ruffled gown
Two cups of coffee; 'pon her boobs she set 'em down
And when I smiled at her
She said, "Thank you, sir"
I left her a satisfied tip of a half-crown
When eating lunch, Mabel never uses a plate
Don't insult her by declaring she's overweight
Cause she'll call you a lout
Chew you up, spit you out
If you tell her she needs a train to move her freight
Mabel's knockers would put the Grand Tetons to shame
But they're the reason she's in the town's Hall of Fame
She wins beauty contests
With her grandiose breasts
I think 'Melons Mabel' is a comely nickname

Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon
Smoke trail of swallows southward fly
Fruit boughs droop under harvest moon
Corn towers up to touch the sky
Fall speckles in the trees on high
Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon
Fat melons ready for reaping nigh
Chill spooks asylum of common loon
Not one hundred by afternoon
Imperceptibly shorter day
Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon
Ranchers bailing last cut of hay
Back to school--holiday can't stay
Football practice all afternoon
Prettiest birds all fly away
Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon

In a supermarket, phrases like “nice cans” or “nice melons”
Sound innocent unless a well endowed philly nearby threatens
Then head for the checkout
Avoiding a crime scene headcount
Run like a gazelle, she'll be on your cart in seconds

A young man flashed a big grin at me
He said ‘phwarrr’ your melons look juicy
I covered my tanned chest
But the guy did attest
Look - the one’s in your trolley, silly!

Many melons on the table
I will eat them if I'm able
All at once, I cannot do
Not until I take a poo
And so, until my butt is stable
they'll be sittin' on the table

I’ve got a couple of juicy melons
They are dangling so temptingly
Round with plump firm flesh
Shame they aren’t ready for picking yet!
Now now what were you thinking guys …
It’s the first year I’ve grown them in my greenhouse!

such a great tasting fruit, a ripe melon
not sugary, just wonderfully succulent
a sure way to beat the dry summer heat;
so unlike the melon, the humble lemon
you cannot eat it though it smells sweet
but mixed with water it quenches thirst;
the melon you eat, the lemon you do not
the latter you smell, the first you will not;
all things under the sun have a purpose
nothing is greater and no one is smaller
each one with its own unique character;
so pick out the sweet or take in the bitter
some days it shines, on others it pours
that is the way life goes, sweet and sour.
