Fresh Air

I once got a terrible cold,
Or an allergy from some mold.
All I said was, “ah-chew,”
And I constantly blew,
Until fresh air got it controlled.

Here lies Mr. Stanley McCarver
     a proud corn and beans farmer

       Stanley ate his yields, didn't bring them to mart
       Don't linger too long, you can still smell his farts

There was virile voyager called Stanley,
with sucking lips he could blaze cold alley.
In journey from top downward

on V-night he lost way in silk valley.

I gaze upon our mantle
Stockings hung with love and care
I find them stuffed with magic

February Funny Bone

Don’t worry if your food contains fat,   
Can indulge after leaving your flat.   
Fat Tuesday is coming soon,   
You can feel like a balloon.
Just enjoy, and eat another stack.

Mother Nature

When she gets mad she will rumble,
And many structures can crumble.
Perhaps this is her sign,
To stress things are not fine.
Man, why can’t she be more humble?

The Sound of the Clock

The sound of the clock:
tick… tick… tick
Makes me feel so
sick… sick… sick.
Weaker with each
breath… breath… breath.
All I can think of
death… death… death.

Love To Rust

R-emember when our love was shiny and new,
U-nused and fresh, like blossoms in the dew.   
S-ome time passes, and we start to deteriorate, 
T-hen our love crumbles; now it’s too late.

Challenge

By Stanley Collymore

Ride the storm of challenge
And reap the whirlwind
Of success,
For the essence 
Of character building
Is knowing how to define
What’s best.

Tough Or Fluff

Knew a kid who thought he was tough,
Just a bully doing mean stuff.
One day after falling
He then started bawling,
We found he was nothing but fluff.

A mathematician named Stanley Quist 
So impressed his fellow topologists
   By finding a proof of a complex conjecture,
   Then disappearing during his lecture.
For he had just proven that S. Quist did not exist.
