Mesmerizes

Mesmerizes

Holly Dolly
Mesmerizes me 
Ahead her work
Calls Me

Proofs her love
Not for me
But for hersake
Abandoning Romance

Wig-wam
Gabriel Van Helsing
came so great like
a speeding arrow,

never comes late
under call as
megalomaniac
and charging sparrow.

Rikki Tikki

Slippery Slappery
Rikki Tikki Tavi
Chased the snake
Down into the hole

Digging deeper
Much like a 
Spelunker
He happened upon a mole.

Santa's Sleigh Limerick

We're singing the song of the sleigh 
As Santa gets his underway. 
The bells are a-jingle, 
Our tummies a-tingle, 
SO SHOUT OUT FOR THIS XMAS DAY!


Basketball Limerick

A basket ball player with bounce
Said, “All my opponents I'll trounce.”
But thanks to a gale
He fell on his tail,
And off in a huff he'd to flounce!

Premium Member My Wife Came Up With This

Piggable - Jiggable
Ivan the Terrible
Strangely proposed to 
Elizabeth One.
Russian society,
Antiediluvian,
Made her refuse him
Spoil his fun.

DACTYL VERSE 
7/27/18
written  words by James Edward Lee Sr.©2018

Deceitful Tongues

Rabasha Kabasha
Old Prophet Noadiah
Rifling society
Lying to God

Judgement shall fall on thee
Incomprehensibly
Thou art an enemy
One to the Lord

Baseball Limerick

A big baseball player on pitch
Developed a strange kind of itch:
The ball flew up straight
Then down on his pate,
So he blamed the whole thing on a witch!

Mommey

When Mothering Day comes on Sunday
We all want to make it a fun day.
We all love our mum,
She's who we came from,
Though she sends us to school on a Monday!

Skip To the End

Tickety Tockety!
Jason the Clockwatcher
Has eight more hours until
He can go play.

Temporal oddities!
Unsynchronology!
Mentally done but just
Starting the day.

In Abasement In a Basement

OH - nonny, NO - nonny
Nicholas Goalsworthy
Promised again to
Renounce alcohol.
Characteristically
Incomprehensible,
Muttering epithets,
Cursing the wall.

Randj

Woe is me-woe is me
Romeo Montague 
loved Julie Capulet
what e'er the cost,

but in the end it seems
lovers so torn between
interfamilial
fueds, can be lost.

Pogonophobia

Fuzzily Wuzzily
Benjamin Gib-a-ney
Grew him a beard which was 
Coming in fine.

Then he found out he had 
Pogonophobia.
He can shave his, but he'd
Best not touch mine.

Beyonce's Baby

Wiggley jiggeldy
Beyonce Giselle
Belted the blues but
Got rich instead.

“Dreamgirls” was successful
Supra-astoundingly
Like her baby within
Surprise from bed.

Politics and Pulchritude

Higgledy-Piggledy
Forty-fifth president
Some think him marvelous;
Others a jerk.

Chasm political
Breached by consensus, his
Cosmetological
Routine needs work.

Newt Gingrich

Higgledy-piggledy
Newt Gingrich
So loved his country
He betrayed his wife.
Whilst berating Bill Clinton
Incontrovertibly.
His run for presidency
Now full of strife.

Young Dr Frankenstein

Higgledy-Piggledy,
Young Dr. Frankenstein.
thought he was able to
cook up a man.
baking and broiling and
incomprehensible
things to invent such a
Frankenstein plan.

Finding My Teddy Bear

Oh, cuddly
Teddy Bear
Run up stream
With me

To fresh springs
Im·pet·u·ous-ness
Spread in softness
Under a tree

Ouchica grouchica
Monica Hunt-Summers
Freed of staid husband her
Eyes flashing bright

Sashayed to Florida
Ultra-spontaneously
Surveyed the options and
Quick said goodnight.

Trying Something New

Limerick Gimmerick
Jason of Pendleton
Tried double-dactyls while
Fearing the worst.

Uh-oh-spaghetti-o!
They're all bass-ackwards cuz
He's used to anapest
(Dactyls reversed).

Birthday Double Dactyl

Hap-i-ty Birth-a-day
many long years ago
then was a guy named Sid
born to his folks.

Now on this special day
everyone celebrates
incontrovertably
one of lifes jokes.
