Premium Member Homer the House Cat

He called himself Homer the house cat
And mostly ate tuna with pork fat
After lunch he'd meow
'Nearly upchuck his chow!
And grin like an overstuffed wombat!

Andie Hiked Up To the Andes So High

Andie hiked up to the Andes so high,
Found Homer in a cave, oh, my, oh, my!

"Let the cooking begin,
Mushroom soup with chili, let's give it a try!"

shakespeare has spoken
     homer here’s paying his dues 
     damn he pulled some strokes
         in an odyssey of moves
           evil genius no taboos

A Young Cowboy Named Homer

There was a young cowboy named Homer
Who broke bronchos and was a roamer
The girl that he called hon
Said,"When all's said and done,
Those bronchos are breakin' your gomer."

Premium Member what were their parents thinking

If our name was Scarlet, could your hair be dyed teal?
What if your name was Harlot, how would that feel?
Otis, Homer and Wilbur have no real zest or zeal.
Elzora, Eulaliah and Adeline, wouldn’t that be a deal

Two boys in a field
Just passing the afternoon
Idle words spoken

A Colorful Couple

Simpson dad Homer
Is quite the chrome-domer:
His belly is jello;
His skin, gleaming yellow.

Simpson mom Marge
Is beauty writ large:
She sports a bright blue,
Colossal hairdo.

Life and Death

As is the generation of leaves
So is that of humanity
The wind scatters the leaves on the ground
But the live timber burgeons with leaves
Again in the season of spring returning
So one generation of men will grow while another dies

Adapted from The Iliad
Homer

An Infamous Poet

The papers lay pitifully on the wooden pile
Hungry for a scholars ink
The pen pine to be touched 
Not with empty inspiration
But words that drip endlessly
And there I sit
Watching their anguish
Not Bard of Avon or Homer
Just an infamous poet
Who Yearn to be loved

Two Limericks

A student of Latin named Herb
Enjoyed the study of verbs.
  While reading in Freud
  He felt a great void,
And concluded his life was absurd.


A student of Greek embryonic
Found Homer was much too erotic!
  Her long hours of study
  Had weakened her body 
And made her completely psychotic!

Riddle : Who Is My Poet

Tell me the poet
Who comes from Malta,
Whose name is apostolic,
Who authored "The Composer",
And the "Unspoken Words".

Tell me the poet
Who is not callous,
Who is not Carl Lewis,
Whose name sounds like both.

My poet is an Adam,
My poet an Homer,
My poet is a Plato,
My poet is a rabbi,
Who is my poet?

OUR TRACED PATH*


My fellow men,
Travelers are we 
On life’s journey well planned in advance  
Without our consent,
Let us 
Obediently follow our traced path
Resisting not our fate    
For
Easier this trip to make!
