Has shrunk two inches from its goal
Since all we need
Is just pure greed
And one old-fashioned finger bowl

Searched the pockets of a young blond
She found a snake
That spit a lake
Then shrunk and did not respond.

smooth polka dotted grandma
wrinkly and crinkly now
her eyes are shrunk
some teeth are jagged
she is raggedy
jealous of her fifty-year-old-self

The hunk, of course, just sunk a dunk
But on his knees

The one who found his chunk had shrunk!

Fryer Tuck

There once was a monk named Cur Plunk
Who frequently strayed from his bunk
He claimed he was drunk
And stunk like a skunk
'til his hunk of a trunk had shrunk

Plant More Violets

Shrinking violet shrunk away,
Embarrassed by her small display,
One lone violet can't compete,
Against large petals not discreet,
More of my kind could save the day.

Not Funny At All

I suddenly had swelling in my knee
I went to the doctor so she could see,
she said for me to undress
I am now in great distress...
she shrunk the wrong part of anatomy!

          sun shrunk to a pin
          evening, tiptoed right in
          cat paw on my chin

Tough times have fallen on the North Pole

So, the good Lord's invoked the grandfather clause
   To increase the pension due Santa Claus

dusty room full of junk; 
creaking wooden floorboards. 
small dollhouse, somehow shrunk, 
lies nestled, treasured time. 
aging, darkened ember; 
old, beat -up wooden trunk.

Sad Santa

Santa Claus is depressed
Its declining standards you see
The naughty list is now so long
It needs storing electronically
Where as the good list has shrunk
And now fits on a sheet of A3

TOWNHOUSE CRACKERS

Townhouse crackers
Is the best
Can they really past the test
You have shrunk so
Much in size
I don't think that was wise
But your rich flavor
Still stands
Because you're the best brand

Premium Member This Poem Ain't Junk

Drunk, 
in a funk, 
a lowly punk, 
I shrunk
from a skunk.  
It stunk. 
Away I slunk.  
I too stunk...
I thunk.  
I took a dunk
and sunk.
A chunk
or hunk
of B.S. or bunk?
Please debunk.

Premium Member Knock-Knock Whose There

Action, desolation, and desolation.
Doors shrink, shrunk!
Doors struck, locked
Let me in, let me in
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK-KNOCK WHOSE THERE

The Celibate

No image of himself
Too near in time
Shrunk back from, in cowering
This o'erpowering.

As what aged, bent, but for
Which missed chance, o'er
Love's, shows remorse so pronounced.
A life denounced!

Premium Member Calling Dr Love

O, a big burly trucker
got a persimmon pucker.
His mouth shrunk so bad,
he got stuck to a wall.
The doc called Gene Simmons;
though he prefers women,
his tongue-in-cheek kiss
is the cure for it all.

When Bullied; Befriended

Thus left, whilst shrunk before it
World, as outsider
Knew it, through quivering dread
As a whole, crueler.

Then, once reached for, nor let drop
One hand of friendship
As soon felt, as gift therein
With the all, kinship.

Salt and Pepper

Too much salt
Too much pepper
Spoil the broth
Neither is better.

LIFE is short
a magazine,
picturesque,
not obscene.

Used to read a large magazine, all about LIFE!  It has shrunk over the years and is no longer the large icon

Female Friendship

This shelter, most sturdy
For friendship 
Is by them erected;
The female.

Men scratch heads! When that on
The inside
Shrunk back from is measured
For a gale!

Violently overwrought.
Sob on sob.
Whiny. Bewilders! Noise
Off the scale!

Vision In Transition

we used to see
eye to eye
agreeing on
how clean
the air was 
down
there

that we
would have
the same
distance
when we 
fell from 
grace

but with age
and with youth
i shrunk and
slumped but 
she bought 
a pair
of new

pumps

Premium Member Drunk

Have you ever been drunk,
and submersed in a funk,
as if trapped in a trunk 
but then asked to write junk 
in a poem which stunk
though your mind has been shrunk
by a psychotic monk
who’s been beaten punch-drunk
and if not a slam dunk
as a poet you’ll flunk?

Premium Member Before Winter Enters

sun pretends to hide
clouds cover the face of rays ~
shadows sweaty swing

sparrows start shiver
crows skip their brisk bathing games ~
swallows seek the sun

green leaves grow glow less
twigs turn washer man’s shrunk thump ~
negating nature
