Short Glutton For Punishment Poems

bits? crumbs? dregs?
smoothed-over leftovers?

     No, thank you
     I've had enough.

Lust for life
Glutton for punishment
Greed for good
Sloth for time
Wrath for bullies
Envy for passion
Pride for joy

Mobilise the angels
We’ve a job to do....

My brother calls me "Hammer Head"
Cause I eat Nails !
My sister calls me "Tacky"
Cause I eat Nails !
My friends call me "Spike"
Just because I eat Nails !
Everyone says I am a 
"glutton for punishment"
I just can't seem to stop,
Biting on my Nails !...

When I was seventeen, I thought I was in love,
but soon found out, he was just a thug.
Then I was twenty, and another came along,
yep, he was singing the that same old song.
Thirty rolled around, and this one was for sure,
nope, another bad helping of man manure.
I'm a glutton for punishment,  everyone can see,
I'm a magnet for misery... "but why me."...

If you were long-winded
but no pun in ten did,
do you lack humor’s art,
or was that a long fart?

Once a pun, a thyme, a sage
got tossed for smoking in a bar;
It seems bad jokes are not in season;
close, but no cigar.

A glutton for punishment -
Never sausage a thirst!
He grinned at the butcher,
Now, give me your wurst!

Going Green

Gawd, I love them, they were really tasty, this year
But: there are only so many sprouts, one can bear

I had “em for Christmas dinner; and, for supper to
And; more than a fair amount of gassing in the loo

Glutton for punishment had "em fried for breakfast
As watching the weather; with high winds, forecast

Out for a walk; there is a whiff of greens, in the air
As apparently all the sprouts were dot on this year
