They Couldn'T Sit Down

They couldn't sit down 'till they got it out of town.

To send it back was nice,
But who'd have bet the odds,
They'd send it back with mice,
And golden emerods.

Premium Member Teacher Limerick

There was once a bad teacher at school.
She called us mean names, and was so cruel.
We wrote up a clear petition.
Getting her out, was our mission.
She was led out of town on a mule.

Apple Pie

There was an old maid named Clorenza Brown.
She had her eye upon Willian Lee Crown.
She baked him apple pie
the hard crust was so dry
that poor William caught first stage out of town.

Premium Member Heavy

  Why does the phone weigh 800 pounds 
    when I pick it up to call an old acquaintance of mine

  I stagger and stammer and put the phone down
    anyway, he was probably out-of-town

Beach Time/ Out of Town For a Week

Will miss my souper friends
But need some beach time
Need some sun and fun

Seafood and junk food
Vacation is on the way
Will return on 5/29/10

I can smell the salt spray
Just got to get away!!

Zebra Star

There once was a zebra from China.
Who liked to sing songs in D minor.
    His voice was the rage
    When they put him on stage.
He rode out of town a headliner!

Fallen Hopes

It's warm with clouds of grey. It might rain to my dismay. *Sigh* Why must the sun come now when we must go out of town? On thus fine day when I wish to Dine in the gaze of the blue crystalline skies? Oh Hark' woe is me.

Get Ready For the Beatdown

Get ready for the beatdown the one that will kick you out of town. Rodney Mack the 
clown will be beat down and in a ditch he will be found as still as a rotten switch. 
You'll call Nikki not that stupid witch you with!

Distant Sound

Scanning through my memories of times now long past.

I cannot recall a more sorrowful, lonesome sound. 

Than the late night, wailing, mournful moan of a distant steam whistle blast.

As a huge steam locomotive bids farewell on its way out of town.

Premium Member Extra-Galactic Adventure Okay

An extragalactic out-of-town adventure is what you need.
Your imagination fresh like Einstein’s, not going to seed.
I would loan you my purple rocket ship, but it is out of fuel.
Let’s meet back tomorrow in our assigned seats at this boring school.

My Muse Is Stuck

My muse is stuck on a rhyme 
Not a lyric or stanza around
I need a tone and a pitch to be found
Harmony went out of town
Who is online doesn’t know
Someone took free verse 
My followers have all left
My spell check doesn't work

My Muse is Cooked

Premium Member Hello Kitty

There was a cat from the city
who thought she was purrfectly pretty
But a dog  chased her down
Almost running her out of town
And that did upset Miss Kitty

You best be believin'
That Miss Kitty got even
 She rounded up a cat posse
And they  scratched up the doggie
Now the poor mutt is grievin'

Car Troubles

my car broke down
when i went out of town
i got mad and kicked the fender
i never should have took the lender
so i had it towed back to town
and then i saw that stinkin clown
and then i started to frown
it's been a long day 
so i went home to my wife
i wonder if i can continue my life.

Premium Member The Long and the Short of It

The Sabbath comes in so soon
  Unlike lazy Fridays in June
A light lunch, say grace, turn around
  The sun on it's way out of town

A long night is a gift for sleeping  
  Sabbath rest, all of us keeping
But once again, short is the day
  Synagogue, meal and snooze ~
           ~ Goodbye, Saturday

Generation Gap

My daughter says
I hate my cell phone.
I always have to call home
When I get there, 
Where I’m going, with whom and when.

Flashback to me at her age
Coming home from a conference
Out of town
My mother worried at half past twelve
When she thought I should be home at ten
I wish I had a cell phone then.

Premium Member Fallen

The winds have shifted; the sky has turned dark
   The leaves have all fallen, their branches now stark

Tidy lawns reveal bare spots, withered grass all around
   Dawn's of chirping bereft; geese stream out of town

So too our love, once so warm, invaded by the chill
   Of Autumn's grim march, over meadow and hill

Premium Member Knock Knock Knock

In my friends old farm house out of town
Messing around with a Ouija board, a frown 
A spirit claimed it was ten years old
And was killed on the property, sold
He came to say his last goodbye,
Knock was spelt on the board, a sigh
Three raps on the window pane
A hand running down my mane.

In the Open Air At Night

April showers, shaking flowers;
`A la belle `etoile. 
Always wishes, almost kisses;
`A la belle `etoile.
Whispering hush, carefully rush;
`A la belle `etoile.
Shadowing near, moonlighted here;
`A la belle `etoile.
Two dark doors down, then out of town;
`A la belle `etoile.
And then you smile, at least a while;
`A la belle `etoile.

Premium Member Control Freak Whisks Pollyanna Away

He hid his Draconian side from her
She was a Pollyanna, her heart pure
Her family disliked him immediately
His serpent-like qualities most of them could see

He whisked her away, out of town and state.
Chastised and chided her if she was missing or late
She had to give away her family and friends.
No one ever knew when or where her journey ends.

Summer Love

summer began 
and we were just friends
now im missing you when youre not around
too far gone and out of town
out of sight
but always on my mind
thinking about you gives me chills
the way you leave me feeling almost kills
out of breath, 
hand shaking
someone took the air
missing you more as the days slowly pass
wondering and wishing that this summer love will last

Old Man

I met an old man
On my way out of town
The old man is me
If you don't understand

And the way out of town
Is the death of myself
Talking in metaphors
Makes it easier to deal

I turn and I find
Myself on the ridge
Looking back on the streets
Of when I was a kid

I turn round in time
As time turns around
With the old man in me
On his way out of town

Our Fading Time

Watch my face
as time fades away
see my expression
that show no affection 
so right now,
 get out of town 
before you cause a 
circus clown to deeply frown

we say get out 
and to leave town
sometimes we cry
and sometimes 
hide lies

no one knows how 
or why princesses wear gown
but life is full of hardships 
and for boys and girls
we just hit and *****

Premium Member Amnesia

A mania she could not explain made her devise the plan:
No one could know where or what place she may have gone
If so, I’m not sure they’d tell; conclusions would be drawn:
Tomorrow, perhaps an answer will come, before the setting sun; but,
Really does it matter to anyone? Are we not all out of ‘town’? 
Actually, yes I think it matters for many; especially matters to one.
