beets and brussel sprouts
were really on the outs
sprouts got spoiled
beets got boiled
—aromatically challenged louts
Silliness is and silliness was
The clothing of reason because
In the dance, the joker knew
Sages proclaimed the untrue
The thief had snatched her purse
but what made matters worse
he tripped and fell
into a well
and now he's in a hearse
Weed's looking little
Bit like Little Italy
In a petri dish
In shack lab belonging to
Hermit who lives underground.
The first day
Chaos erupts
Mayhem mumbles
The doors open
The year has begun

The old man got a doggy
He should have got a froggy
The doggy chews
The old man shoes
When it rains his feet get soggy
Every day is OKAY when I just git myself out of the way!!!

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
Pinching nickels for the cause
of selling bottles for the law
Deposits money into kids
and makes them candy for the awws
English but Paris born Hillaire Belloc
who amusingly did mock
With nonsense verse oh so light
ever humerous & never trite
In twenty twenty-six,
the word echoes loud,
annoying,
it sticks,
insufferable buzz, endless, tiring,
wears us down.
I'm gonna go home
cause I don't want to be alone
in a crowd that's oppressing me
even when it's my own so-called insanity

got up for a snack in the night
mostly asleep with no light
stepped on the cat
how about that
my ankle is missing a bite
welcome to lim’rik flats
where boys wear only spats
it's in a valley
called nonsense alley
(psst... they also wear hats)
wilbur went hunting for goose
winnie’s goosey got loose
wilbur shot it
winnie had fit
around wilbur’s neck a tight noose
“Margaret Thatcher you ain’t!”
“You ain’t old Reagan in paint!”
slinging mud
with a thud
terrible taunts tossed to taint
He knew her well in his youth.
She was refined, he uncouth.
Maiden so fair
now see her there
drowning in his gin/vermouth
smilin sam set out to sin
sherry sue set out to win
smilin sam squeezed
sherry sue pleased
sam and sue married with twins
Politicians are skilled at squirms
which indubitably confirms
one cannot bake
a cake from snake
by opening a can of worms
I love nonsense too,
Erogenous zones to do,
Maybe that's enough for you,
Carry on is what to do,
I do love nonsense too!
First the cornbread now the turkey
his movements seemed herky-jerky
stuff a bird
think absurd
sounds to me a bit quirky
Way down in East Jabib
where I told many a fib
I spoke so many lies
it should be no surprise
that I used to lie in my crib
They think she's nice,
she picks up rice -
but please don't worry,
it's for her curry.

A music conductor in Manhattan
Had always kept his hat on.
One day he forgot
And believe it or not
He also sat on his baton

If you can’t write great
Prose...then no matter… write nonsense
But just write something!!
