IF YOU COME ACROSS A FROG,
IN A SWAMPY BUGGY BOG...
AND, YOU ARE A BIG HORSE FLY...
YOU WILL GET SLURPED UP AS YOU GO BY....

There once was a man named Gar,
Who came from the planet Mars.
He had fun in the sun,
As he toasted his buns.
And slurped his drink from a bar....

Let's see, how many cups of coffee
Have I slurped in my sorry lobby
Thousands I'm sure
Leaking from my pores
Like trillions by now more than a hobby...

Heart Throb

I slurped at the buttery sauce.
It dribbled corner to corner.
I said “Serve it at bed
With fatty pork and bread-
And hide it from the coroner!”

 Two giraffes were invited to tea
 But they couldn't fit through the door you see
 So they went to the window
 and put their long necks right through
 And they slurped up their tea with glee

At the country club a sight for sore eyes
Brunch with the bunch and giraffic surprise
Two tall orders, son of a gun
It surely beat the hole-in-one!
Anticipating sharing a slurped prize

I made him a milkshake for breakfast
he slurped it up
wiped his mouth
left the glass and green straw on the table

I glanced at it all day long
not wanting to put it away again
until I had his laughter
to replace it...

Nonsense soup
Slurped up easily
or gulped down
your choice actually

Swirl it
Whirl it
Swallow it with gusto

Silliness salad
Best side dish with it
Whimsical and delectable
Spinning tales


But what of dessert?
Fool’s gold fudge 
Or
Ridiculous raspberries
on top of Ignorant Ice cream?

Your choice really...

I once had a nanny named Sue
Always loved drinking Mountain Dew
Loudly she slurped,
And then she burped
After she had sipped on the brew.

I once had a nanny named Rosalee
She loved to rock me on her ample knee
Rosalee up and died
I cried and cried and cried
But I know she is in heaven with Thee.

I was a lonely flower whose petals were withered, whose colours were faded and whose sweet nectar was slurped by the deadly demon of diffidence. 

Then the face in the mirror said to me, "You are worthy". 

I took to refill the parched springs of nectar.

Slowly, butterflies came to quench their thirst with my nectar. 
In return, they gifted me my lost colours.

I'm not lonely anymore....

Cardinal is my moniker
I care not
Words are nothing
My tweet is pleasant.
Fresh birdseed in the feeder.
Succulent worms came out last night
I got them quickly 
Slurped them up next to the marigolds
Night crawlers are so tasty
I preen as the dark ones come near
Looking for my mate 
The hunt delicious
This is enough to satisfy me

When I went to the zoo,
I met Snoopy the Scooby Doo.
We walked around singing our doggy song.
Then Pluto came along!

We all slurped our Slush Puppies.
Our K9 crew looked funny.
Then Winnie The Pooh caught site of us
And he invited us home for honey...

Who knows what friends you will meet too
If you go to the zoo!

I first heard about Teacup Spigot Alley from my cousin Sally.
She had been there many times to sip tea and dilly dally.
Two pink macaws were slurping down sugar lemon tea.
One gave me a peck, the other completely ignored me.

Are those faeries? I asked my cousin Sally, who knows all.
She laughed at my ignorance, but her tale was told tall.
Wingless faeries? She said Who ever heard of such a thing?
We slurped down peach schnapps tea, it had a wonderful zing!...

Although Miss P. was nobility,
Very scarce was her gentility.
She farted and burped.
And soup simply slurped.
Loudly too with no humility.

Let’s marry her off, her mother said.
Her gas is enough to rouse the dead.
Who would take her though?
She can burp a buffalo
Her shirt always full of food when she fed.

They arranged a ball for sweet Miss P.
For those who knew her would not tea.
Her burps made them laugh.
Her farts like a calf.
Amused guests went home laughing with glee....
