I came upon an electron, quick. 
That little fellow had a trick.  
Just as I fixed his rate of travel, 
his position would unravel....

The only prayer of me pappy:
"May all of us here die happy!
If what we eat
Contains no meat
Then for Christ's sake make it snappy!!...

slovenly and ill-kempt but happy
we decided to make him snappy
we did it our way
thought he would be gay
now he felt less than himself, and crappy...

Lately I have been feeling so happy and so rappy.
But whenever I get snappy, I go for a nappy.
Just never make me feel so unhappy nor either so crappy....

The wife wants an handsome young hunk
To cavort with in his own bunk
And she would be happy
If you made it snappy
As she's prone for ye olde slam dunk!...

Woke up in a snappy, laughy mood.
Ate nine cookies, for my breakfast food.
Getting ready to play,
In every kind of way,
With children who exude gratitude...

That robot on line is so crafty!
Pick a number, he says; make it snappy!
Or go to the App
He'll get nowhere with that;
He should know by now I'm un-appy!...

A leprechaun named Harry P. Happy
Felt really sick,and needed a nappy.
He took Pepto Bis.
Before his math quiz,
His answers were all wrong, but quite snappy....

My pet piranha's life is through
He bit off more than he could chew.

It was Alvin the croc's special day,
to the lake all his friends led the way.
They said “Come, make it snappy
‘cause to make your day happy
we’ve ordered your fave take-away”...

Snappy uniforms, jazzy hats
Eager high school students
Struggling to read music
Daily practices

Last year Santa took a long time to come
The reindeer waited ages, and then some 
Rudolf got so snappy 
Mrs Claus was happy 
As his sack somehow didn't look so plump

Set a new record for writing these limericks
Wrote this snappy one in less than a minute
Took quite the risk
Of dislocating a disc
And to top it all off, I was eating spinach...

Turquoise boots with rosettes feeling snappy today
Sassy, and sexy, as they prance dance your way
Along with the ruffled short skirt we give a sashay
Me and my owner, little Miss Debbie Lou Kay...

impudent wind flirts 
with snappy hats and long skirts
bell rings champagne squirts


Inspired by Lin Lane's rhymed haiku “meadow cloaked in white”. Alas, iambus turned out to be not pretty iambic)...

Jane, Jane
You're so mundane;
Your cackle, your laugh  reminds me much such
As of a champagne
Your voice makes me queasy
And yet you are feisty
Though this message
May seem arcane
Happy, snappy birthday Jane

Mankind for lest they stand alone by the lake,
hand bereft of anything - but a stick,
thin line between fishing; 
and standing idle - looking ignorant.

Hook line and sinker, reel it in.

Grinnell snappy wisdom, jagged toothy grin....

Funky Monkey
______________________________
There was such a snappy little monkey
 I sold him a banana for paper money
 Then a little lion cub
   grasped onto my sub
I thought it was something kind of funky.

Flowers blooming,
people smiling,
everything happening at its best.

The sorrows are gone,
now there's no pawn.
Everything's great and no one's caved.

The brightness is overloaded,
everyone is happy.
Lost the dejection and no one's snappy....

Johnny rode up with his rideable car pedals screeching and screaming.
The new gas station attendant asked the boss “is it me? Am I dreaming?”
Go out there and pretend, the boss said, “It makes the kid happy.”
“Premium gas please,” Johnny said to the attendant “and make it snappy”....

Bath Plugs

The bath plugs, who weekly have been
talking with my 
aloof and snappy parents about 
presenting me in front of
a TV (oh how the anguish of 
paranoid will kill me!) audience to 
show, mock, my 
sickness, are inductees of 
the governing body of 
the City of 
Sydney.
