Short Ninny Poems

There was a vampire, oh so skinny

Once was a celeb’s old Granny:
She bragged ‘bout her little sonny.
He asked her to stop:
It’s better to hop,
Than to make yourself a ninny.

I am planning for a feast
without the beast,
so I can leaven the bread,
with the bowl of yeast,
but ninny tumble over
the leaven bowl of dough,
and upset the little beast,
who nibble the grocery list.

my life, could i chew it out.
so i can forget the cuds of the ghostly,

ninny nonny noose
     with a neck inside

stretchy stretchy stretch
     and the witch she died
