It doesn’t matter about the clock
When you come down
Don’t break your crown
For Jack will watch like a hawk

Sought Hickory Dickoree dock
But as she flew near
Her heart filled with fear

Santa dropped down the chimney quick
And got hit with a large hickory stick
He screamed and shout
Then ran all about
Until a child ask, Santa are you sick...

Apparently nine mice ran up the clock
The clock struck one
Broke his head bone
The rest survived but they're all in shock...

Three mice climbed Grandfather’s clock
Grandpa struck one…
The others could run

Clearing concussion protocol
Will compete again next Sunday

Hickory, Dickory, Dock
Overdosed on Viagra, whatta shock
My wee fellow looked up
Said, “You ain't no pup!”
I cried, “This guy don't go by no clock”

Hickory dickory,
Beauteous Rosamond,
Sleeping so silently
One hundred years…

Come your awakening,
Phantasmagorical,
When a Prince Charming can
Conquer your fears.

Trump Looked Like Lump of Lard

Trump looked like a big lump of lard,
No longer soft but he appeared hard;
Hickory to dickory,
And also slippery;
We did need to destroy and discard.

Hickory Dickory Mouse on Clock


Hickory, dickory dock
mouse ran away with my sock
now they don't match
can you do catch?
now there's two more mice on clock.

Hickory, dickory, dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck nine,
It was past the deadline!
He missed an interview,
the job fell through.
He fell sadly to his knees,
no paycheck – no cheese....

Hickory dickory dock, the mouse got an electric shock
Thought he would die but only his ears interlocked
Could hear himself think
His life on the brink
Surgeon said, “try giving your head a good bop”...

Hickory Dickory
Marion Morrison
crafted a cowboy name
to fan his flame.

His new handle, John Wayne
instantaneously
launched him as a star of
western film fame.

Mottled Earthen tints:
leaves of a deep dark ruby, 
light lavender,

golden hickory.
Uplifted skeleton faces, 
buried together, 

onyx hues on the bones-
the waxing of Winter moons.
War in the distance.

is better....

boughs that
crackle
   in the wind
sweet

flight
    and song
of past&

of lips
   that kiss

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one and down he run,
Hickory Dickory dock – Tik Toc,

The end of Hickory Dickory you don’t know,
when up the side of the clock the mouse did go,
He chewed through the wire and started a fire,
To fix that damage, Hickory paid through the nose....

Hickory Dickory Dock
The captain ran up the deck,
When the storm rocked the ship.
The sailors swayed losing grip.

Hickory Dickory Dock
With no one to direct, the ship hit a rock
Into deep waters, it started to sink.
All got drowned before they could wink.
