I love the sound of ice cream trucks
the tune - sweet music to my ears
But then again, watch out, oh shucks -
the hum of sweat bees interferes....

Long lean limber. sultry, slender,
Pretty pout, neat nails, great grin.
Fatal flaw?
Incredibly clumsy, elbow bumpy,
Tripped twice, shiner. Shucks, chagrin....

The Shucks of Life

Shucks fallen away,
Make fertile soil for the next…
New life greets the morn.

Route 66ish No 11

A young girl from near Sacramento,
Was chewing a tasty pimento,
She then bit her tongue
And although very young,
Cried out "Shucks! NOW I've got a memento!"...

Terry, dear Terry, how's you this fine day
Hope you're happy and singing away
Wish you good luck
Most of all, aw shucks
Find you so loveable, what more can I say

You're sauntering along oblivious to a pole
You walk into it, your vocabulary's out of control
“Golly gee, that hurt”
And other naughty words
Like shucks and winkie and cubbyhole...

The lottery just don't like me too much
Played 27 years to win six bucks
You can't win if you don't play
Thats what my headstone will say
Solid gold font "two, four, six, eight, aw 
shucks

Have you heard of a duck that really can't cluck
Bet you're thinking a bad word that rhymes with duck
More sophisticated am I
An upstanding sweet guy
Now stop... my naughtiest phrase is “oh, shucks!”...

Shucks.
Everyone's busy now.
Places to go, people to see
Teachers and preachers and doctors and lawyers
Exuding school-year civility.
Me, I prefer lazy summer.
But...
Even amidst the brisk hustle and bustle
Reindeer are grazing....

Something triggers three limericks a day
It could be as innocuous as a bale of hay
Or an amazing new invention
Guaranteeing love of our brethren
Aw shucks, but I'm ready for the accolades

I win you over before you know what’s happened.
Swallowing crucifies,
No one has flown this high.
I’m borrowing your own happiness.
Joy is oxygen, really.
Crown yourself the Queen of Peace.
This world is an oyster to be shucked....

Have you ever heard of a duck that can't cluck
Bet you're thinking of a bad word that rhymes with duck 
More sophisticated am I
An upstanding sweet guy
Now stop...  my worst naughty phrase is, “oh, shucks!”

watching the boob tube
not a waste of time
PBS is good
got me through grade school
use to watch Hunter
Virginia
on Friday nights
the step daughters
loved their Baywatch
eighty-six
world series
eyes were glued
Red Sox
they lost
shucks...

Kids, yell, "Let it snow! Let it snow."
Do we get much snow here? Shucks, NO.
"Snow's coming," some say.
I say, "Snow? No way!"
To see snow, up North we must go!

Normally it is I who astounds
But this time around
It is I taken aback by the grace that abounds
From her crown to the very ground
The radiance was so bright
If she was in my life
3 words  no more nights
Awe shucks
I think I'm awestruck ...

Shuffle
Short
Long
Strides
Take us
Home
Or Away

Shoo
Shoes
Bustle
On through
They are much
Harder than
Hands

Shame
We can't all
End up
Where we
Need to be
In a little
Less steps
Than we
Need

Shucks 
I've gone
And ruined
My shoes 
Now what 
Do I do?...

I abhor those newfangled air driers
which blast your hands with hot air
It’s paper towels that this gal requires
but there's none - shucks life just isn’t fair!

          "oh shucks"
               said 
               huck
       az Mary crossed
               with
            her lamb

          "too young"
            said huck

             sighed

Cruise ship
Leaves slip

Line rails
Cocktails

Strong breeze
Rough seas

Swigs booze
Bad news

Oh me
Queasy

Boat drill
Felt ill

Grub great
Gained weight

Oh shucks
Tight tux

Played slots
Lost lots

Met Moll
Some doll!

Let's dance?
Perchance?

Git lost!
Star-crossed!

Cruise done
No fun...

WHEN A LIE IS NOT WORTH IT 

When the new neighbour asked how old was I, I said eighty three
But, it was just a big lie and shucks that she never questioned me

I'm only in my sixties, and I thought she would have shown doubt
But, all I got was "no wonder you smell like some old rotten trout"

I wanted to give you twenty
My mom said, "Too much."
I wanted to give you twenty
Mom said, "Ten is enough."

I wanted to give you twenty
You were finally twelve
I wanted to give you twenty
In my mom's purse I could no longer delve

I wanted to give you twenty
Only got ten bucks
I wanted to give you twenty
darn. awe. shucks

Inspired by a card given to my son for his birthday...
