a fine porcelain dish
careful do not squish...

As You Wish

As you wish
unless you’re a fish
or a bug I could squish
but since your a dish
it will be As You Wish

Mud
first sign
of spring thaw
slippery worms
dance with the robins
nestlings calling
the cadence
slow step
squish

Michael McGregor wielded a wild flyswatter
he used it in places he not aughter.
Each swat made a mess
causing wife distress 
so he up and ran off with their daughter....

Quench your desire, to quelch the ire.
Squish your wish, quell and welch on greed's glut
Be satisfied with a belch of gut.

There is a spider on my wall,

I tried to squish it with a baseball;

But I only made it mad,

Oh man, this is bad,

Why am I afraid of something so small....

I will squish you like a bug

"Porcelain Patty"  is as white as a dish
With the sexiest body a man could wish
A real treat to cuddle
(She sleeps on the puddle)
But shrieks to High Heaven when two bodies squish!...

Too-tall Jackson had a tail like a fish 
But when he swam his gym shoes went squish-squish
   He took up basketball
   That was sure the right call
Happy end to his tale ~ A perfect swish!...

Romp and Stomp On Swamp

What they have done to expansive swamp,
Is to jump right on it and then really romp;
Water squish,
With anguish;
Others have been doing Stonybrook stomp.

The dangerous critter is the lowly mosquito
They spread germs around the world, my amigos
Need to squish them flat
With a swat and a splat
Watch for blood all over your chemise-o...

Blood sucking vicious pest-mosquitos
Malaria, fever, cramps, and pain
Itching red raised whelps, begin
Swat, slap, squish, shoo. Make goo.
Encephalitis
West Nile Virus
Dormant germs
Vampire

Spreading nasty germs round the world, my amigos
Need to squish them flat
With a swat and a splat
Watch for blood and guts all over your chemise-o...

I’m playing in the garden making caterpillar soup
I squish them with a stick to make a caterpillar gloop
Mix it with some water and then stir till there’s a froth
Then I drink it from a jam jar, lovely caterpillar broth...

Reduced to nonsense and gibberish
Unable to think; the brain’s gone squish
Dissolved into a puddle of drool
A muttering, stuttering dazed old fool.
Diminished capacity all can see
Sadly, not Biden, I’m talking ‘bout me....

Slush, slosh, marching in the goo,
Put on your boots and I'll march with you!
Squish, squash, making funny noise,
Mud was made for us girls and boys!
Slush, slosh, marching in the goo,
Doo doo-doo doo doo-dee, doo doo dee-doo!...

Strenuous work,
Gimme a perk, 
It hurts, the pain,
I'm not the same.

Bending backs,
facing the facts,
I'm not a farmer,
A bogus charmer.

And they tell me;
Be careful said he--
It's squash, not squish
You work or you flee....

Jim Acosta made it too uncomfortable for Sir Ass
So Jim was banished from the White House, they revoked his pass
The Prez began to gobble
Started to weeble wobble
Obviously, squish him before Sir Ass gets too embarrassed...

The most dangerous critter is the lowly mosquito
They spread nasty germs round the world, mes amigos
Need to squish them flat
With a swat and a splat
Watch for blood and guts all over your chemise-o

And the rain is playing tricks
With the tricks the neighbors squish
Across the deck, up above
My door, can’t really see ‘um
Some joke it is, think it’s mine
but I don’t know the punchline
And the rain is playing tricks

Our hen dropped an egg – plop!     
Orange balloon stuck - pop!    
Odd wee bird sang - cuckoo!    
Obese farmer screamed - shoo!    
Old satin skirt went - swish!    
Once ripe grape trampled – squish!    
One sound-word this – oh, pish!

Grand fireworks on display,
as everyone happily embarks in New Year’s
brand new day.

Let us welcome!
Hug the year without doubts and fear,
All come!

Sounds squish,
Bad lucks and tear
Wish!

Grand fireworks on display,
Hug the year without doubts and fear,
Wish!

BUMP
Under the bed
I am awake.

SMASH
Outside the door
I am standing.

THUMP
On the stairs
My hand on the doorknob.

SMACK
At the front door
I am in the hallway.

BANG
Outside in the rain
I am sopping wet.

SQUISH
They walk through the rain
I am drenched in blood....

`
A wish for a fish on a dish would be bliss
Though this bliss could be missed in a wishing dish fish
For a fish might go squish undercooked on a dish
So this wishing fish squished on a dish isn’t missed

Twang toot Fing Foo
Jingle jingle rattle boo
Tiger Tiger splash, squish
Skycrapper’s crashing swish
Wretched retches snorting  snuck
Timtimbuctoo’s belching buck
Whoosh whoosh Winnie Treetree murmur
Croaking frogie's hiss hiss charmer
Punipuni giggles growling grunt 
Oink oink  words' trilling witchhunt...
