I was concerned for my closest mate Gus,
He had problems he needs to discuss,
It’s a woman Gus said,
It’s the one that you wed...
I’ve heard she’s been cheating on us....

Once knew this old man named Gus
For some reason the girlies made a fuss
As he toddled along
Singing off-colour songs
Much too off-colour for us to discuss...

on glamourous gamma rays, galvanizing gamecock’s gallstones in the

water snake sizzled past

stay off the dock mom had said
Gus, our golden,  retrieved her when she fell in...

Pierre's upscale wig shoppe sells fine toupees
Gus said, "This one I want to buy today."

Pierre smiled ~ "First get a haircut, OK?"...

Just long island iced tea, the Jamaican Pig told us.
We knew better than this, for we knew this pig, Gus.
Nothing spicy or startling inside the glass? I said.
He said no, but his tell-tale face turned a brilliant red....

Watch out for the bus, Gus.

Attention all drivers of a bus,
We have important safety matters to discuss.

This week watch out for those on foot,
They can not be overlooked.

Stay observant and alert,
And no one will get hurt....

 For an astronomer named Gus
 But  his girlfriend saw red

There once was a mantis named Mary
Her legs were disgustingly hairy
She was offered to Gus
Who threw up in disgust,
Not wanting to be eaten by Mary.

After guzzlin' beer Gus needed to pee.

  He sought solace behind a nearby tree.

     Before the judge he was fined,

        To which Gus gravely opined:

            "Where e'er you be let yer water flow free!"

Herein lies Cornelius Gus Huss 
Who wanted more muscles and then plus 
Til one day he had more of his "juice". 
It killed him when he combined it with booze!

We men on the sand kept our eyes averted and our laughter inside
As four corpulent women in super-sized inner tubes came in to ride.
When they jumped in together there was a tidal wave around us.
That was hilarious! Said my favorite friend, a cuss named Old Gus....

The salesman offered free gas for a year,

   If Gus would buy a brand new Buccaneer!

      Gus exclaimed, "Is this for real?"

         Wifie said, "Forget the deal!

            You are full of gas already, my dear!"

Gus sipped a few brews and went on a spree,

   And in public piddled on a prized tree.

      When the cops nabbed him that day,

         Poet Gus had this to say:

            "Where'er you be, let your water flow free!"

Below lies Gus
Hit by a bus
Crossing the road
To save a toad

I think you might be surprised he said.
To his current girlfriend with hair of red.
The four brothers I told you of, you see,
Are very very very much like me.

We are quintuplets, the five of us.
Sue smiled up at her boyfriend Gus.
I am a sextuplet, she said with a grin.
They called off their relationship right there and then....

Dotty doggy duo, daily derring-do,
descending leaves decorating yard,
Beau-black as coal,
brown-eyed batty Gus,
barking brazenly, bounding,
both bonkers?
a boisterous, "You betcha!"

Kings of calamity-
canines of chaos,
squirrels scurry for sweet sanity,
scolding silver September
acorn gatherers,
sedulously seeking sedatives!...

Doll with an incredibly snarly blue mood
Gave us a horrible, nasty, surly attitude.
I thought she was pretty, but not today.
Said many people, who did not want to stay.

Her mother had invited us to her birthday party.
There were six of us, and none ate hearty.
We felt sick at the way she treated us.
Never again! Said my classmate, Gus....

Merry making among friends was in full swing.
The hedgehog was pouring his ale with a sing.
Mouse the bartender was being liberal with drink.
Everyone felt cozy, warm, we were all in the pink.

Merry making among friends extended to enemies too.
We all became comrades, in the flowers of blue.
The caterpillars did flying tricks to entertain us.
I became a best friend with a wren name of Gus....

There once was a young fellow named Gus
Who had no inclination to fuss.
A mosquito flew by
And bit Gus in the eye.
It surprised me how young Gus could cuss.

The mosquito who bit him was Grouch,
And he carried his venom in pouch.
He gave me a quick bite.
I slapped him with full might.
Now it's he who's the one yelling ouch.


Inspired by Robert L. Hinshaw's "Bug Off" limerick.  Thank you, Robert....

a giant genuine gargoyle greets you said the gothic cathedral host.
as if this terrifying statue of scariness is a good thing of which to boast.
the kindergarteners were screaming as they got off the tour bus.
it took weeks for us to simmer them down, me and my teacher pal Gus.
never again we told the principal, we will not take anyone five.
they were frightened to death, thinking they might not leave alive....
