Gig Giggle

Les Dewett was a gigilo
Who loved to do it really slow
Though he was well hung
The tip of his tongue
Won their praises for Best of Show

Spoke

Spoke less,
did not feel like,
lips refused,
and tongue got tied,
throat was dry,
I gulped a little swig,
then spoke in a veritable gig.

Donald Trump must be Mr. Big
He trained his whole life for the gig
Awaiting the scene

Do Not Read Aloud

When the Isle of Man Master Baitor
Got a gig on an Irish freighter
To Scotland they sailed
Until they were hailed 
When seamen splashed an aviator

Shortening Careers

A frog who could dance up a jig
Went to Nashville to make it big
She set out for the disco
Ended up in some Crisco
Seems it wasn’t that type of gig

'Et tu, Brute'

“Et tu, Brute?”

“Who me? "No! Never! Nay!"
’Tis yon Cassius’ gig.
I didn't wanna any part of it, you dig?
Now, please ~
kindly turn your head ~  
the other way."

My Peep Izzi's Band

'Mom, dad', I’m going out to the bar 
Where my 'peep Izzi', rocks her guitar
Her 'gig' will top rock charts
Though it’s not for 'pop' tarts
Specially, since her band’s called ‘Rats Star’.

John, Paul, George and Ringo

Last night's gig at the local casino
   Four lads: John, Paul, George and Ringo--
          Two Popes and a King
          The Fourth couldn't sing--
   They should have hired Placido Domingo

It Is Bernie Sanders Time

I am small,
You are tall,
But does it matter at all?

No, Bernie!
My heart is Berning!
You see my vision.

I am a twig,
And you are big?
Let The Bern do his gig!

Bernie Sanders we can dig!

He Danced Irish Jigs

There was a quick wit who needed a gig
When his jokes fell flat, he danced Irish jigs
   But one night he was so drunk
   He kicked up a breeze that stunk
It seems 'quick-wit' zagged when he should have zigged

Little Boy Bo

Little boy Bo
Loves football so
He’s glued to a television

He spends half his fall
Watching football
A boy with a life’s mission

He dreams he’ll grow big
So, he’ll land a gig
In the game of human collision

Santa's Retirement

There was a guy named Jake , from Atlanta
 In the Winter season he would play Santa
                    But he left that gig
                     To buy a big rig
     Next he wed a sweet lady named Anna

Back-Up Plan

The starlet wore a cutaway gown
The bodice somewhat non-existent
When asked who she was wearing
She said, "Myself, for I am preparing,
Should this acting gig turn out minor
I plan to be a world-class designer.

Brand New Gig

There once was a character named Eli
Who really loved the fourth of July
He thought he was a stud
His fireworks were a dud
So he got a new gig and moved to Thai

Waste No More

You are not
Deserving of my kindess,
Let me spare you,
The ache and abhor

Of feeling like you broke my heart
Though regret you do implore

What a waste of time, Spent energy
On a Narc with a head too big
No longer will my heart you squander
This empath's got a new gig

retirement is a different gig

I binge watch t shows
If I like the characters
They become family

I have sat in my recliner for hours
Clicking next episode over and over
This is a new hobby for me

Relaxing in a whole new way
I have no idea how this can be my new life
But retirement is a different gig
I like it

Mister Pigo

I so loved Mister Pigo the pig
                                       It was not at all infra dig
                                            A Man and a beast
                                          On a great love feast
                                    joked jigged and rode in a gig

I Can'T Flee From Me

Where can I flee
How can I hide
I'll still be me
On the opposite side

Wherever I go
There I am
Rerunning my show
Mary's little lamb

Despite the distance
Of here and there
Equivalent diligence 
Nothing spared

I cannot dig
Climb, crawl or fly
An alternative gig
But I remain I

I'Ve Got a Big Butt and I Cannot Lie

My butt is just so damn big
10 Irish men could do a jig
5 truckers could park their rig
16 Miners could plan a dig
9 drummers could perform a gig
2 Elephants could take a swig
22 college kids could do their trig
If only I’d eat less like a pig!

Tamed

He called up the contact
The contact gave his name and number
The number was a familiar one
Old Nick's address 666
The name needed verifying
Biatch Wanker 
Can you spell it again?
The line was bad
Remember son
Gothic music is the best
And Satan is a heavy metal God
See you at the gig
Dress in black...

What's up Buttercup?

What's up Buttercup?

Oh, a little bit up,
a little bit down. 
A little bit square,
a little bit round.

Sometimes I'm good,
sometimes I'm bad.
Sometimes I'm happy, 
sometimes I'm sad.

Thank you for asking, 
I'm glad that you did.
I hope you are well,
and having a good gig?
