Our Mother was Perky
Our mother was perky in the morning.
It’s the only time of day we ever heard her sing.
She would come into our room and sing “good morning” stuff.
My twin and I would grumble and rumble about it.
How she could be this perky every single morning is a puzzle.
But she was.
Was it the coffee?
Was it her natural

Pretty Crisp Clean Perky Daisy
pretty daisy
crisp, clean, perky,
she outshines the sun
on this overcast day
her petals are unmoving windmills
her seeds sit up expectantly
I have a granddaughter named after her

Perky Above Board Alice
Perky above board Alice was the one we saw first
Isn’t she the one who used to tease Mrs. Lirst?
No, she’s a good girl, we all like her friendly ways.
The one who tormented Lirst was Pete McVeryWays.
Alice was living up to her name, being funny too.
We watched as she danced and played a wild kazoo.
She is

I'M Feeling Perky
Breast machine squashed boobs, ouch it hurt ...
Expletives I tried not to blurt!
Next an ultra sound scan
Doc said you’re all clear Jan
For cancer you must stay alert
I got good news yesterday my 'lump' turned out to be scar tissue from my surgery in 2019:-)

Big Perky Turkey
Perky Turkey
At first we found Tom to be quite perky,
And did later became a big dead turkey;
Somehow,
He is now,
Covered with much gravy that is murky.

Not-So-Perky
Obliged, to senses’ pleasure and to soul’s discontent,
I acknowledged all the appreciations,
I often look at the world around me.
They all appear same – puppets dancing on arrhythmic tunes.
Clones moulded by the system, machines lethargically pretending to sweat for goals.
Permanently busy nodding their way through, unsure of the purpose.
An intense cold war for a better materialistic

The Perky Nurse
An otherwise perky and pretty nurse
was feeling absolutely at her worst,
so she took her troubles to a local shrink
for some much over due analyzing.
"Every time I date a young doctor, I end up sleeping with him.
I feel guilty and depressed afterward very often."
The shrink said, "I need to help you strengthen your will power and

Pinky and Perky
One time on an Amsterdam trip
We decided to watch ladies strip
Some were pinky and peached
But this Scotsman couldn't reach
Oh my, I must be losing my grip
So I sat back and watched it all
Their clothes shed as my eyes befall
Undulations of delight
On this Amsterdam night
This Highlander left in thrall
To Scotland we head back the next day
Ogled

For My Perky Pup
I gave my perky pup
a peanut butter cup
then a cup of milk
that she licked all up!
