My pup had puddin’ in a cup
Tapioca and mocha 
Downed it, bottoms up!

Had the runs, got into a fit
Made it in time

The Learning Curve

A sanctioned priest fell in his cell
Lickety-split straight down to Hell
He grabbed a spade
But for its shade
Since Climate Change does not bode well

She ran through the streets lickety-split
like a fine race horse chomping her bit
	a race for the throne
	winner gets the cone
cold ice cream crown a tasty tidbit

Amanda write limericks so darn quick
She just dashes them off lickety-split
  Somehow she gets them to rhyme
  Finishing each one in time
To post them before you can hit 'Submit'

lanky lean lithe limber lollygagging Leo loved a little lampoonery
loving lasting laughter, leisurely learning lemonade lessons
lickety split, laundering little leagues of lithographs in lime

Your mind will hope

Premium Member I'd Rather You be Miffed

        I’d rather you be miffed
           than irritated, vexed
              bothered or annoyed

        For if you are only miffed
           we’ll kiss and make up 
               ~ lickety-swift

Love grows lickety-split
In the innocent hearts of
Children.
Keeping trust and hope alive;
Especially in
The very
Young.

Some
Philosophers contend that
Love
Is unique to
The soul of Man, and I agree.

Lickety Split

Longevity of life 
Involves a great amount of
Courage and requires 
Kindness 
Empathy
Tenderness
Yourself respect

Speed of a lifetime 
Possesses many twists
Leading us down
Interpersonal roads
Till death doth us part.

Premium Member Toasty Santa

Down came jolly Santa, lickety-split
not checking to see if a fire was lit.
He shot out of the chimney
while dancing a fast shimmy-
His job is oft harder than he'll admit!

Premium Member conjuring a puppy

lickety split whickety way
I think I’ll make a puppy today
Some fur, big paws and lots of love
stir this cauldron with a giant glove
expectations are everything
he’ll leap from this pot with a ring-a-ling
slurpy slippy slimy slippy suppy
where are you, my sweet loyal puppy?

Premium Member Fairy Granny's Fantasy

Tired Fairy Granny did sit Upon the sunflower's brown seed. As dragonfly round her did orbit, Then from her small hand did feed. As darkness overtook the sky, Fairy Gran needs to babysit. She will have to be rested to fly, And get there lickety-split.

Premium Member Nonsense Poem

boisterous beekeeper was bathed, bound and belted.
besieged by bevy of beauties whose beeswax was melted.
fickle, frantic, frolicking friendly freedom, freshly felted.
persnickety, lickety-splickety personified, pointed and pelted.
On a sweaty, snarly summers eve swiggled, swayed and swelted.

Premium Member playing with words

who named the cuckoo clock
a timekeeper down the block?
who came up with the term lickety-split?
funny to say, so I repeat it quite a bit.

who invented the infamous pet rock?
maybe a writer who also penned a clock’s tick tock.
pedal pushers we used to call capris.
way back in the day, at the Tasty Freeze.

Listen to poem:
Like a flash
I was beaten
Caught in the blink of an eye
Knowing not why I was so, so
Easily beaten
Till I saw the chain
You hooked on my behind.

Splutter and stumble
Puffed and spent
Losing the battle
I was hell bent
To win the reprisal

Long legs travel faster
                   Incendiary post:
                 Checkered past,
               Knocked up.
             Eager ears!
            Tell me more!
          Yodel across the valley...

        Soap box
      Platform.
    Lick more stamps!
  In conclusion, gossip
Travels lickety-split!

Premium Member A Song Is --

A Song is -- 

  Not words on paper
    or a tune from the lips
  To reflect moments poignant
    is never lickety-split

  I've racked my brain 
    searched my soul
  Still no results
    and I'm getting old

  It's time, I feel
    to take a real chance
  To knock on the door of my heart
    and invite her to dance

Premium Member my word of choice

lickety-split is my word of choice
loving the rare 1863 buffalo nickel
too many coins to put in the machine
crazy ways about you, not to be mean

furiously fast, frenzied, frazzled and discombobulated
Two dimes are spit out by this machine, not related
likety splickety schmickety blickety hickety licky diky mee
what type glow turn into fury?

Premium Member Lickety Split

Like diamonds bathed in sun,
Islands in the 
Caribbean call my name.
Kiss me with your sultry
Energy and charm.
There’s a beach bum waiting for me, with
Yellow hair bleached by the sun. 

Such longing I feel, as he
Pulls me to paradise, where.
Love blooms at last.
If only in a wink-of-the-eye dream,
Tropical splendor is mine.
