If too much grog has left you foggy,
Your sodden noggin grimly groggy,
So much sauce, your socks are soggy,
Loving you still, will be your doggy....

The Mermaid of Copenhagen*
Reportedly lost her noggin
Sans bikini top
A vigilant cop
Suggested Ilene go joggin'

Gazing at the rear of my head
Many follicles are long since dead
Father Time is always sure to win
These naps are lookin' awful thin
Shall I shave my dome instead?...

Ball players have major bald spots
Too large to stop where their cranium stops
Five outta ten 
Gals ten outta ten 
Noggin to their toesies and that is tops...

While under the tree the apples bombed him
studying while get hit on the noggin
tree showed its wrath
Isaac tried to do math
stumped on the law of gravity problem.

There once was a Donald named Trump 
whom the lib(e)rals considered a chump, 
a grump and a sump, 
a gump and a dump — 
with a noggin as plump as his rump....

“Curiosity Plus” I subscribe to each day
Stimulates the old noggin, keeps the monsters away
As we start to age
In the latter stage
Our minds deteriorate unless active we stay...

Will this cataclysmic event happen in our lifetime
Yellowstone hanging over your noggin and mine
Life as we know it
Will be blown to bits
And everything we know will be redefined...

Wish I could leap through the trees like the squirrels do
I'd be over the moon screaming a bloody woo-hoo
Lithe and free
Overcome with glee
Till I fall and break my precious noggin... boohoo...

Where’s my loyal confidant,
If love recovers again?
This emptiness of heart,
Fulfills to be a single friend;

The jargon on my noggin,
What’s her color, favorite?
Pop in, lightly salted;
I am satisfied with –...

What's a billabong, a bop on the noggin”
In Oz, they speak funny, harkens back to their login
They misunderstood
Puters in all likelihood
Thought it was a passing fad, much-preferred snoggin'

Heard of a computer whizz, well I'm a computer whiff
Thought I knew the ropes but I'm not new age equipped
But finally figured it all out
Used my noggin and my snout
Thankfully my genius came through before becoming a stiff...

Writing little rhymes such as this - there's little more as swell.
But a chore on this noggin, if you can't rightly tell.
I couldn't sleep a wink
the night my brain began to think,
"I can buy all the meds I desperately need, when these poems start to sell!"



NOTE: Far-fetched, but a man can dream....

Titan Goliath challenged young David to a floggin'

     But David with his slingshot beaned him on the noggin!

          Dave viewed the carcass and was heard to say, "Nothin' to it!"

                His envious brethren said, "Yeah!  'Twas just a lucky hit!"

For "Show Me the Funny (part two)"

There once was a fellow a woggin'*
Who bumped into one who was loggin'
They had quite a spat
The ax was a bat
And the first had a lump on his noggin


* Woggers are those who get all dressed for jogging, but only go at walking speed, while vigorously pumping their arms to delude themselves that they are jogging....

Reality is cold. 

Wait thats poetry

 I mean cold is the
reality

Outside in a Indiana
winter moon,

Narcissist enjoying
my-day-old fatty
pain,

When Inspiration
hits you square in
the flesh.

Reality is, it’s
cold, exposed skin
it’s sting.

Eye’s burn dry from
fiery chill.

A Buddha second. Me
a week.

Noggin worried for
warmth.

Real time awakening

Reality is cold....

why chance genetic dice throw
gifted me finite time
solely to contemplate
(more than just my navel)
meaningfulness analogous
to scrutinizing Möbius strip
unable to identify
inscrutable mystery
defining random existence
specifically essence
happenstance/circumstance
which begat me Matthew Scott Harris.

His noggin mottled, plagued, and riddled 
with debilitating accursed impediments

His start was art
That fell apart

  To poetry he turned

Listen to poem:

I wish I knew an erago how words can plex your noggin
At times like sliding down a hill with only your toboggan 
Once you start you cannot stop, it feels like going south
One foot on the slippy slope, the other in your mouth

Words obey and forever stay, even when you oopsy doodle
Words command and forever stand, but you have to use your noodle
Words can bend and oft offend, but words are only say
Relax yourself,  enjoy the day, put all the words away...

Barkley Wants Dinner

My little dog is barking
through thin air,
inhaling the promise of food.
With every breath
he augments his desire
for meat
with deep pride
in his wolf ancestry:
the gnashing of teeth,
followed by propped-eyebrow
inquisitive cocked-noggin.

His eyes dart
toward bird-flight,
then downward
toward the kingdom of bugs.
Looking toward the clock
he miscomprehends.
Begging becomes him
in a miniature-wolf
bobble-head sort of way....

When you're a sheep and feel unwell, it's also often true
When dipped into your medicine, you come up feeling blue
Blue from your woolly noggin-lid, down to your woolly socks
And inside from your woolly brain, down to your woolly hocks

So when you are a poorly sheep, and feel in poorly form
You're gonna feel off-colour, 'cos off-colour is the norm
And both insides and outsides are tinged with shades of blue
There's only one thing left to say, and that will be, "Poor Ewe!"...
