Rooster starts to crow
                       sun chases away night's stars-

Deer Lake of Burnett County

History winking
On the black velvet water,
No voices are heard;

No wolves laughing in the woods,
Just stars on Deer Lake’s black skin.

Icy Willowy Blonde Stands Alone

The willowy blonde with flaxen hair
Showed icy eyes at the county fair
Being cruel and mean
And stuck up like a queen
Suiters were no longer standing there

Owed To a Night In Jail

I spend all night in the county jail, 
because I drove too fast drinking ale.  
My, how did my cell mate 
learn to articulate? 
Come early next morning I post bail.

40 Acres and a Mule

A former Canadian Mountie 

Lost his mule and put up a bounty

Though he searched high and low

He got lost in the snow 

And found his ass in the next county

Seeing Double

The other night at the county fair
I got drunk and tried wrestling a bear,
he twisted me in a knot
I heard loud snapping a lot...
now my glasses are used as footwear!

Cook County Jail

I’m in Cook County Jail and don’t know why
All because of a devious lie
When I bend for the soap
It’s the only one not on a rope
The one eyed pirate gets a poke in the eye

Drafty Fair Air

I just couldn't wait for the county fair
All of my family and friends were there
I stumbled and ripped my pants
Nothing but whistles and chants
I forgot to wear any underwear

Rear View Air

As soon as we got to the county fair
The country odor got through my nose hair
Coz above some milk pails
We encountered cow tails
Which filled our senses with their dairy-air

The horse has bolted
Day is night
Memories flight to County Carlow
when he lives in London SE27
A soft rain is about to fall
when he calls me John
and forgets to feed his cats

Trump Healthcare

America's seniors
Paid their taxes when due
But retired on pensions
That favored the few

Now County Clerks
Have made that quite clear
Under "Cause of Death:"

Cotton Candy Grapes

It will remind you of alchemy 
how taste and image don’t align; 
Lypophrenia hits you,
best friends the county fair;
Memories play back 
while snacking on 
those cotton

grapes.

May be in a booth or big boat
Wherever do go out and vote

Caught Red-Handed

A questionable young lad from the county
Went searching for a well-known burglar’s bounty
Found an empty croaker sack
With a handy auto jack
Ere he was suddenly stopped by a Mountie.

St Patrick's Day Blarney

On St. Patrick's Day, old boozehound Barney
Howls grand Gaelic airs at a pub in Killarney
Place a strong stout at his paw
And he'll howl Erin go braugh!
Yes, County Kerry folk are given to blarney!
