Like a Blinker Going Awry and Ornery

Hubert awash was a Josh for his Bonn,

he was in a toss at the ton and never knew his cons,

say today that was interest and wand, that he could only shoot his lawn-

he never needed but had all his own knots for the fawns.

Premium MemberUh Oh Something Is Amiss

There is yelling and crying
Good.
There is screaming. 
A loud wail. Great!

Uh-oh.
Dead quiet.
I creep up, quietly
To spy on them

Knowing something is
Up. They are four, six, 
And eight, 

Only quiet when they
Are up to their most
Dastardly deeds.

Ain't  An Ornery Yahoo
 
Old widow lady of ninety-two
Lives by herself with nothing else to do
Except sit in her chair next to the window 
And stare out for hours with dreams of her past woe

I reckon she ain't ornery yahoo
With a few bricks short of a load
 Doing nothing but fuss and talk for

Ornery Old Men

Good GOD you're a pain
You crazy old fool!
Stop bending my brain
Oh yeah? Hate you too!

Don't you SAY that!
Call me one of those
I'll make your lip fat
Bust your skinny nose!...

Hey man, what's shakin'?
In the neighborhood
What's that you makin'?
Smells pretty good

Nope not too hungry
Gonna' rain I hear
Nah, wasn't angry
Got any beer?

Premium MemberOrnery Cat

Simba's an ornery cat says the vet

  During visits both get greatly upset

      Simba grumbles and hisses

         Not at me or the missus

            But at the vet who ain't tamed
