He Had a Holloweenie

Under his nose hung a big greenie.
The kids all thought he was a meanie.
He didn't have a hankie.
That's why he was so cranky.
Also, he had a hollow weenie.

Necktie

What's your necktie dangling for?
Too stiff, too thin to be a scarf,
a bib or an apron;

too smooth to be a hankie,
too short to be a suicide noose
to contemplate on!

Dangling Contemplation

What's a necktie 
dangling for?

     Too stiff, too thin 
     to be scarf, a bib 
     or an apron,

Too smooth to be 
a hankie,

     too short to be 
     a suicide noose
     to contemplate on!

  Magic saw cuts assistant in two
    Pretty lady emerges good as new

  Magician pulls hankie from hat
    Dove flies away

  He tells you your name, DOB,
    even your fortune

  The man rakes in the money ~

Roses Are Not Always Red

SEXY REXY wanted
JUST JOEY because she
loved his IRISH EYES.
Joey was not up to
HANKIE PANKIE because
he was THE CONSTANT
GARDENER. So,he asked
DAVID AUSTIN to forget 
his roses and use his
ORANGES AND LEMONS 
to give the LADY a
RAPSODY IN BLUE 
beneath the BLUE MOON.
It worked!!


Premium Member Loneliness

Licorice language lead the way
Onyx thoughts that go astray
Neon smells from melodic memories 
Emerald tales of what was meant to be
Lavender hankie folded so neat
Inside a pocket it smells so sweet
Never could use it for anything 
Except for fond memories it brings
Soft lips that sip kisses and cling
Suddenly looking back is to dream

Premium Member Hankie Entertainment Committee

he is the consummate entertainment committee of one
when Hankie appears, we know there will be fun.
he brings stories that are colorful, and wild.
nothing Hankie does is ever blah, boring or mild.

we excitedly kick our feet as his stories are unfurled.
wome would quickly make sure your straight hair is curled.
unfortunately, we just discovered Hankie has passed away.
parties will never again have his quintessential level of play.

Premium Member Measles

Written by Gail DeBole

Pink polka-dotted skin stretching body-wide.
Bulges interrupting other-wise peaceful areas.
Spots of lotion and cherry-flavored tongue 
Comforting misery.

Across the room, stacked in safety;
Precious dollies that will be played with another day.
With forever smiles.

One last sniffle for the night.
A hankie is tossed into the glass that serves as a hoop.
Nostrils attempt to function, and a sudden cough 
Shocks the precious dollies. 

Their smiles remain.
