He crawled out of the doghouse looking sad
His new wife was mean, big and bad
I had been warned, he said, by my dad
He had also married a shrew, big and bad

Sheepherder Larson married a shrew
which was an ignorant thing to do.
Seldom did he get his way
except that there came a day
he found a farmer needing a ewe.

caught in a buttercup
Provides a welcoming d

to Ladybugs Dormouse

There once was a young man from Rangou
Whose wife was a horrible shrew
He beat on her head
Until she was dead
He now lives in Cell thirty-two

Timmy, a cute little shrew,
Wrote limericks smutty and blue,
His rhymes were not 'Chic'
But a bit 'tongue in cheek
That he sent to some poets he knew.

Can't you be like Bianca?
Somebody straighten her out.

Said the stork
I can not hear you
Said the shrew
Oh shut up
Said the pup
Can you not see
Said the bee
Do you not feel
Said the eel

Leads to disorientation

SHE SITS LIKE A WICKETY RICKETY SHREW
COBWEB ENCRUSTED - WAITING FOR YOU
RUSTED AND BUSTED WANTING TO CHEW,
COME ON IN, BUT DON'T SAY "BOO"
SHE'S HAUNTED, UNDAUNTED
UNWANTED, ITS TRUE...

There was an old woman:
a bit of a shrew -
She couldn’t have children,
'cuz guy parts won't do.
A shocking pink swath
up there on her head,
she drank boxed Chianti
and raised cats instead.

A poem without a topic
That’s an easy thing to do
You’re a writer aren’t you - she said
As if to tame the shrew
The rhyming is just reflex
I’m nervous now you see
Maybe you’ll see through the words
Maybe, you’ll see me.

Daisy Dormouse
My dearest Daisy Dormouse,
will you invite me in for tea?
I seek your hand in Marriage,
what will your answer be?
Dear Sir, my heart you flatter,
but I cannot marry you,
Mother say’s you’re a Rat
and betrothed to Chantelle Shrew.

William Wordsworth
England was the place of his birth
He got inspired and became quite thrilled
When he saw a host of golden Daffodils
William Shakespeare
Had great poetic flair
He wrote several plays too
Like Macbeth, King Lear, And The Taming of the Shrew

now behold, self-loving self-beholder
your self-seen self perfection
cracked mirror's reflection
but outside screams a pettifogging shrew
mad landlady curses you
your rent long overdue!

A dashing, young field mouse
Once married a shrew,
And they set up housekeeping
In an old tennis shoe.
When their babies were born--
Not shrews and not mice--
They were the proud parents
Of a shoe full of shrice.

Mary Lou,
I’m calling you,
to send a hundred and two
checks of blue.
Answer me please do.
Am I getting through?
May I get an OK from you
before you bid adieu?
I am waiting like Bartholomew
in “The Taming of the Shrew”
This player hasn’t a clue.
Your response is overdue.

There was a man, calm and collected
With a kid, a dog and wife well connected;
He was a brother, a father, a man
And like any other he too was defected
A family man loved and well to do
But he had a problem, he lived in his shoe;
He would run and meet up a shrew
Greet hello the way lovers do

The shrewdness of the shrew
Out of place on her
Would better be placed
Upon a gentle woman
Of genteel character
This shrew of a woman
Abused by a man in her childhood
Angry all the time
Doesn't even know why herself
The only thing she knows
Is she is angry at this man
In the process of thought.....

[A little spin off from my ‘Freezer Mice’ range]
*
Man’s earliest ancestor was a teeny weeny shrew
It poked its nose in everything as it went fro and to
It picked a fight with everyone that came within its range
And all that I can say to that is, ‘some things never change’

"Something Else"
Just ‘cause I like the song
doesn’t mean I love you
stalking so doesn’t become you
I know I’m considered a shrew
but that’s a mouse and I don’t grouse
I’m something else
I eat elk
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
