Short Nabbing Poems

A Warlock was counting the bounties
From nabbing a Coven of Aunties
When to his dismay
Discovered that day
They all hid "The Curse" in their panties!...

A man did dream
And harpooned a Marlin
And brought with him,
But a monstrous fin.

A dame did dream
Of marrying a rich prince;
She cracked her urn
And broke her dream.

A man did dream
Of nabbing an assassin
But found in him
The greatest sin.

“Do dream, do dream,”
Ear drums resound,
But dreams – are dreams,
They just abound....

The cops are on the roads today
And this is why, I’d bet,
Their ticket quotas for the month
Have not been filled quite yet.

This is the last day of the month
And so the pressure’s on
To catch some speeders in the hours
Before the day is gone.

We saw them nabbing five or six;
All slowed without a fuss.
I’m glad they nailed those other cars
And had no time for us....

Bandit of Sherwood

A man from the ‘hood name of Robin
Insults to the sheriff was lobbin’
     But Robin the rapper
     Got locked in the crapper
When he heard Maid Marion sobbin’

The sheriff claimed Robin of Sherwood
Was not nabbing gold for the poor’s good
     He said the thief’s power
     Raised cash for a tower
Where Marion might lose her “Maidhood”

My Pets

My pet cat was holding a bat,
He was probably inspired by the cat in the hat.
My pet toad was jumping on the road,
He nearly got hit by a truck with a very heavy load.
My pet parrot was sitting in a chariot,
Jabbering while Queen Elizabeth was giving him a carrot.
My pet rabbit has a really bad habit,
Of nabbing and playing on other people's tablets.
All my pets each have talents,
But none of them are as cool as my neon paint pallet...
