A sleepy little girl once said
she’d like to stay at home in bed
they said she’d miss the fun
with sledding just begun
so she jumped up quickly instead
When Elvis sang he rocked and he rolled.
His fans jumped up and shimmied, I'm told.
The folks in Tupelo
got all shook up below,
like devils and demons got a hold.
A doctor was checking a prostate.
When all of a sudden a noise made.
It sounded like a zipper,
The guy gave him a flipper.
Jumped up and demanded a rebate!!!
I look at the proof in the pudding.
But wait.
She has jumped up and is running flat out.
Hold your horses I yell
Knowing the instant I do
That she does not even have any horses
My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say.
Limerick : Once a Pathan paid for a brandy
Once a Pathan paid for a brandy
While in the company of (a) Dandy
Dandy was all so gay
He squealed like a blue jay
While Pathan jumped up on his bounty.

Limerick Syllables : 9,9,7,7,9.
Now there once was a Scotsman named Milt,
And he tripped on a stair with a tilt.
Bounced on each step single file.
He jumped up wearing a smile.
Now we all know what is under his kilt.
There once was a man who owned a car,
And he used that car to get to a bar.
He went to the car to go buy a jar,
And when he bought the jar,
He slipped in tar!
When he slipped in tar,
He jumped up and ran so far.

The hayride proved fun for all I must say
Until I jumped up and bellowed, “Oy Vey!”
Other couples’ heads poked out
Just to learn what made me shout
(I’d sat upon a needle in the hay.)
*For Dana’Lynn’s “Needle in the Hay” contest
Cleaning out this closet is a chore
Not only time consuming, but also a bore
This collection of rocks, I sold some for a dime
I only kept the ones with a beautiful shine
Placing them one by one in the bucket
I jumped up and shouted Yes! for I found a gold nugget
Jaro was a killer
He bonked me on the head
He laughed and laughed
"You're dead, you're dead!"
Is what the killer Jaro said.
But I jumped up and kicked his crotch
That knocked him down a knotch
"You're daft! You're daft!"
Said I, said I, the woolly caterpillar.
Unlucky Penny
There once was a man from Virginny
Who found what he thought was a penny
But what he reached down
To pick from the ground
Jumped up and took hold of his ninny!*

*note: ninny---American (predominantly Southern) slang for nipple; breast;
I turned around and there you were
My heart jumped up and yelled, it's her!!
Untwist now tongue she's walking by
Just maybe she will catch your eye
She did!! She even gave a wink
My gaze transfixed, don't dare to blink
For every moment I can get
Makes for ones not dreamed of yet

The cat jumped up upon the bench
And landed in the dish
Hot spaghetti on its paws and claws
I’m sure that it did not wish
Quickly off onto the floor
Hot foot, hot feet off he tore
Shaking paws and licking paws
And off he ran some more
Red mess, cat tracks all about
Please someone let that poor cat out
My feet gave way without my consent
I found myself lying on the kitchen floor
Close to the dog bowl
I had gone down suddenly
Did not realize until I felt mucus in my hands
So this is what pain feels like
My head flew up
Pride willed me
I looked around
Wondering who had seen
Jumped up quickly
Pride ruling
Again
Some mystery seeds from China Town
Arrived by post wrapped in a gown
But they were lizard eggs
That hatched, crept round her legs…
She screamed in fear, jumped up and down.

Bird Bath
The Mother Robin sat there on the fence
When the rain began to pour, she began to dance
She spread her wings then jumped up and down
She lifted her feathers and shook the water around
She did the dance twice, then flew back to her nest
Puddle baths are good, but rain showers are best.
(This was fun to watch :)
Claire Catt was having tea one afternoon
Reading a book, as blue birds sang a tune.
The cat sat, loving fragrant breezes of June;
Until she saw red sun, chasing pale moon!
Claire jumped up yelling, 'Nothing is right!
For how can gold sun, run into black night?'
But, orange sun returned, with dawn light.
Then Claire said smiling, now all is right!
Charlotte, you tabby cat,
jumped up to hear some poets read on Zoom awhile.
So you sat,
blocking my screen.
You made the poets there all smile,
you queen!
On cue,
straight through each mile,
you,
Charlotte, you tabby cat,
you made the poets there all smile.
You!

I was up all last night,
Could not sleep with my eyes open tight,
Went down the stairs to see what to do,
There was my dog,
not sleeping too...
Out to the porch,
I sit on the couch while
Buster boy jumped up,
and we sat for a bunch,
Starring at the cloud stared night,
when we awoke,
the sun was beating down,
so much no sleep,
we both felt like we wanted to eat!
I beg your pardon
do you have to stare
my clothes are shabby
and yes I care
I lost my job
through no fault of my own
then my car
then my home
Age is a factor
or it was in my case
I once wore satin
I once wore lace
Life jumped up
then knocked me down flat
after thirty years of devotion
zap
Don't get to comfortable
and think not me
because out of no where
I now see
I open my eyes and to my surprise I
was awake.
All I could see was tall dolls and
people with shaws.
running down halls.
I pinched myself to try to wake up
Why can't I wake up for heaven sake.
I was trapped in a dream like state.
I walked down stairs that was made
of chairs.
I jumped up out my sleep
and no one heard me not even a
peek
Where I should have been counting
sheep
My shoulder was sore after work
So I used a patch of hot and cold
I laid down and soon fell asleep
As I felt somewhat consoled
Later I sat up half awake
Dirt was pouring down on my leg
Quick in a panic I jumped up
"Please don't bury me now," I begged!
It was only the patch that broke
But don't throw at me any bad will
Falling dirt can be real scary
Once you make it over the hill!
Somewhere up above a mountain
Was the volcano to maintain
Lava voice as hot as anger
It seemed nothing but a danger
For away down the valley
Was a frozen lake
I was spitting so one could take
Stream thought only one was jelly
Fish to go deeper than deeper
Lava ran to valley
It was full of anguish
Ice jumped up to valley
Just to destroy it's wish
That was now ice vs Lava
