And was given a plum roasted rat

He pulled a rabbit from his hat
That suddenly changed into a cat
That sunk claws in his face
He was given a taste
Of a fight with a large bobcat

It was like a mirage
He assumed, it was another project

are but a simple blade of grass
on which a butterfly alights

With a roar and a stomp, he gives a hop
Landing hard in front of the candy shop.
Where a champagne cork has given a pop.

In return she toots up her nose

Allah grants knowledge to anyone He pleases
And those who are granted knowledge
They are indeed given a great asset
And none understands it without wise mindset.

Lumpy and Bumpy 
And a tad Frumpy
Was Skittishly Jumpy
But ever so Comfy
And a hell of ride
When the brake's were applied
And the giant woke
Once given a stroke

That would be best over all of the land;
Never had annoyed;
Thoroughly enjoyed;
When through had been given a hand.

The Olympic Medal

The Olympic Medal

To be given a gold medal
You have to win the gold medal
To take drugs and cheat
Is winning without merit
To dishonour the olympics
Is to dishonour Yourself.
