Short Learned His Lesson Poems

There once was a little snowflake,
though America a mistake,
so he went to Iran,
spoke his mind and was hanged,

We get a new mattress.
The dog is intrigued.
He chews it to bits.
We have no words.
Because he is a baby.
And we know he does not mean it.

We get new curtains.
He pulls them down.
The rod falls on his head.
I am sure he yelped.
We were not home
But we think he probably has learned his lesson....

Silly Billy went and ate
all the cookies his mom baked.
Getting too sick was his fate
for his tummy ached and ached.

You might think this silly guy
would have learned his lesson, right?
When his mother made a pie,
it then disappeared from sight.

Billy, like a big fat hog -
He had gobbled it all down!
He got sicker than a dog.
Mention pies, and still he’ll frown.

her skills on defense made the grade.

Now this comely young Miss did indeed want a kiss
but not from a hairy old bug. 
The romance she sought would be dearly bought
by a guy that she actually dug....
