Not make laws

Rascal the rapscallion was a slyboots rogue
he fancied himself a pixie, spoke Irish brogue
we suspected he was a leprechaun hiding gold
he lived in Skeezicks Forest, Celtic land of old...

behaves in a mischievous teasing way, critic
“heat and fun motivates
if mutual trust is active”

  Who played the role of one 'Eddie Haskell' --

    And how's my friend, 'the Beaver?' --

My doctor, when he looks at me, is boiling with a rage,
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!

Hideous heathen heretic!

Dangerous deadly derelict!

Blasphemous bellowing bunk!

Scandalous scheming skunk!

Rambunctious riotous rascal!

Devious as Eddie Haskell!

Cancerous countywide curse!

That's ok, I've been called worse....

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 !

ROY'S RIVER RIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roy rode
river's rhythm,
raucous ripples rising,
rubbery raft, raced the rapids
riding 'round rocks, rambunctious, rollicking.
Reveling, rascal, river rogue
rushed by reeds, rollicking
rambunctiously.
Roy rode.

In the water hole by Littleton’s Cave
There sits a rascal, a snarly knave
You can go down there if you are brave
But it might mean an early grave

He is a stranger, after all
He who lingers by that waterfall
Strangers are scary is what we teach
Stay slightly out of this weirdo’s reach...

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...
