He was also an opera singer
Some days he would sing
Others bell ring
He was a real humdinger...

Fairly
Squarely
Rarely
Barely
Shot from the hip fairly, squarely true
Loaded clip but, rarely, barely drew

Dilly Pippin was a crackerjack
Landed on his feet, never his front or back
Humdinger of a guy, super handy
A lollapalooza, a true Jim-Dandy...

There once was a Texan singer
Whose voice was a real humdinger
But Rangers would mount on
And all she could count on
Was her upright middle finger...

Some would listen and linger.
To make the bell louder
James became stouter.
Now he’s known as a real humdinger....

Might be due to being a mud slinger,
Which had looked like a humdinger;
When viewed,
Clothed or nude,
Then down house was a big bringer.

Hortense was an Opera singer,
Who thought she was a humdinger.
Every breath that she took,
Screamed like a strangulated chook,
The audience put Hortense through the wringer....

Lilly Fay was an operatic singer
Touted as being a diva humdinger
She could hit High C,
Easy as could be
But up there it's impossible to linger.

Humdinger Spice


Yesterday my friend fell on the ice
Yelled quickly bring me a vodka splice
Then called I said
She hit her head
Bartender bring a humdinger spice.

Madonna is eclectic, multi-talented too, a humdinger
She has been a producer, a director, actress and singer
Song-writing has come natural as do many other things
She is impressive no matter what direction her ideas bring...

Elusive elf effortlessly elicits Englishmen’s enthusiasm.
Flitting flirtatiously, forever flipping finery and florals
Glorious gorgeous gossamer gowns gliding gracefully,
Heartfelt happiness harboring humdinger hummingbird heaven....

Effigy is a crude figure representing a hated person

Trump has been called an example of bigamy,
Which is why we want to hang him in effigy;
Terrible  singer;
Real humdinger;
Record broke when we had heard his eulogy.

Macho Bee had a really big stinger.
Lady Bird, when aroused, was a singer.
When they heard her loud COO,
all the wood creatures knew
that first date must have been a humdinger!

Humdinger Spice Apple Pie

Yesterday I baked a humdinger spice apple pie
Then my daughter called said she’d stop and give it a try
She was smacking her lips
Couldn’t take any tips
She told me I’m the queen of all the best apple pies.

Hindemith hindered her hibernation hopes.
How hansome harmonies hurt.
They hint at her lonliness, her homelyness.
She hunts her heart, hankering for a humdinger to hold her here.
Honour? Him? 
Her hand hits a howitzer.
She hears him.
It's heady to hold.

But perhaps better to let go....

Her circle has no beginning
the veil so easily seen through
i'm not mad can't you see them too
brave enough to be herself
all the lost things
come back in some form
seeing sleeps where death has come
different can be strange
my brains gone fuzzy
could be a Wrackspurt about
leaves us Blibbering
like a Humdinger
Loving the good moon...

A Finger

In Kansas definitely is a Dorothy
Who we heard is kind of earthy
Wants us to see her show and then
Behind sunflowers see her eyes again.

As  both arms extend out and grow
Some day soon will become a scarecrow
And have you heard the latest humdinger
At you always enjoys pointing each finger.

Guess who I currently am?

When I let one loose in the elevator,
so silent was it that nobody knew
among all the folks stuck on that lift
from whose bottom that humdinger flew.

Folks looked at their feet; no one's eyes did they meet.
With some others, I got off the lift
although my floor I had not even reached!
Those still going up were left with my SBD gift.
