At the Concession Stand

Ordering a 'Mustard-and-Catsup'
  I was ever-so-rudely refused

  Not a happy camper at all ~

A Brazil Nut

Betty came from Brazil,
She refused to take the pill,
She had a dozen kids,
Lived life on the skids,
Now she is over the hill.

A Fishy Pot Luck Dinner

The fish had a pot luck dinner
Almost all of them would concur
Only the shrimp refused to share
Because shellfish is what they were!

Whose name was Dobbin of course
He sat on the floor
Refused to work anymore
And had to be moved by force

Spoke

Spoke less,
did not feel like,
lips refused,
and tongue got tied,
throat was dry,
I gulped a little swig,
then spoke in a veritable gig.

Since a Scot named Wilt
Checked under his kilt
And refused to pay a full day.

I'm still alone at the end of the day
One pushed away
The other refused to play
The results stay
In the end there's only dismay

It started only months out of the cradle.
He had found his groove
And refused to move.

He refused to concede
that he didn’t succeed.

A lady told her husband, glancing

while Mayor Lightfoot stands idly by

There once was a puppy named Sam
Who refused to eat nothing but ham
Until his poor mother
Gave birth to another
And now he dines strictly on Spam
