Once there was a man called Easter Ethics
behaves in a mischievous teasing way, critic
“heat and fun motivates
if mutual trust is active”
bloody! ethical rascals amaze writers by critique....

Do you recall that ornery rascal
  Who played the role of one 'Eddie Haskell' -- 
    Good morning, Mrs. Cleaver
    And how's my friend, 'the Beaver?' --
  Like a laughing hyena ~ or jackal...

Like hungry wolf, when smell a sheep in cage.
He assured me that I would last two months, or less.
And I, a rascal, still living for five years!...

A rascal up north, poet Ken

retired one dark night to his den.

He woke to the stares 

of two angry bears

and fended them off with his pen!

A rascal up north, poet Ken,
had retired one night to the den.
He woke to the stares
of six angry bears
and fought them all off with his pen.

Under the blankets reading books 
Watching some tv
Sharing laughs, sneaking looks
Mostly at you by me
I place a kiss upon your cheek
You blush and turn away
Which makes me do it even more
I'm a rascal in that way...

I was bitten by a gnat
Who didn't ask permission
I caught the little rascal
How dare he bite me?

I put him into a jar.
He made a big commotion.
So I put a stamp on jar.
Sent him to Carrie.

David and Ricky were cute, at best
Bud Anderson was a clueless pest
But that enduring, fun rascal
our dear Eddie Haskell
provided a refreshing, honest zest!

I need to reach that phone box pleaded a girl at the station.
Many adults walked around her, but no one offered help.
Along came a little boy, a rascal, a neighbor, not a friend, a whelp.
He immediately became her stepstool without a second’s hesitation....

Odiferous, a sad and sordid tale,
for naught remains but that which does assail.
The rascal takes one final, pungent swipe:
grizzled remains along the center stripe.

On Pebble Beach's seventh green
I paused to watch an otter.
He dove, cavorted, spun around,
An acrobat on water.
Then lolling, drifting, eyeing me
He twitched brown nose and whiskers.
His thought, that moment, mirrored mine:
"He plays all day, that rascal."...

They called him sweet little rascal
He was their life
The ‘sweet’ was gone first
He was their little rascal
He made them throw away the ‘little’, as it was too heavy for him
He was the rascal then
Now he understands the dimensions of “RASCAL”, the love is long gone...

Limerick : Once our Senorita watched  Sea Anne-Anne – 13

Once our Senorita watched Sea Anne-Anne
What got her was all that Royal Can-Can :
« Little Rascal » - « Car Seat »
« New Father » - « New Hope » feat
So she changed sex to lure She-Anne-Anne !

Mr. Loving, one two three
You have really kept me busy
But thank goodness I can repay
I found the 's' that went astray
I checked prescious and did agree
Multplications is where it should be
Since the nice things about my poems you did say
I'll just say thanks again
And sent that rascal 's' on his way...

It was before a decent time on a Sunday morning.
My son leapt onto my bed and squashed me; no warning.

I had been in a dreamers state, the sixth lottery number
almost revealed, as I was summoned from my slumber.

A wet sloppy kiss landed on my cheek.
What a rascal, orange juice from the fridge he did sneak!...

Alive and given a destiny
Love of parents was in mutiny
Grew up in a cold slum
Had a choice, every Sunday the church would come

Life was lived on the highway
His spirit died he lived without The Way

He is the "man", but with no brain
Playing stunt on top of a moving train

The devil dashed him the final blow
See his sober dead body like a cat's mew...

Legend of Copenhagen says tree troll is a tale.
He is a wooden giant who drank way too much ale
This tall tale was fed to me by gullible cousin Gale.
Who also heard that tree troll devoured greens and kale.
We searched for this rascal over many hills and dale,
His infectious story was spreading fast without fail
Every version that came back to me was fun, never stale....
