Short Suckered Poems

You beat me to that sucker punch,
but missed I was away at  brunch;
Honey I have been gone,
all you get is a dial tone;
The trash took itself out for lunch....

Smoking a cigarette, how stupid was that
Suckered in like so many, smoked pack after pack
Weird!!! Made us choke
Sucking in smoke
How ridiculous was that, common sense we lacked...

Seven sellers selling scissors
sold six feet apart
Selling scissors some would say
kept them running smart

When seven shoppers started strolling
stopping for the start
And sighing suckered seeming sick
sluggish from the heart...

Life is a tightrope act
And we were suckered
Into using unicycles

No training
No balance
Can't ride
Can't walk
No balance
Will certainly fall

The crowd cheers,
Or maybe jeers?
They can't catch you

Clowns point and wave
All a joke
They'll not even try to save

So very glad the Ringmaster
Foresaw this deadly disaster
I'm not the least afraid,
(It's really His display)
And I can even sing,
For God gave me wings...

I told her I would walk her dog,
She had been ill, was in a fog.
So off we went on our little jog
When Fido spied a pesky frog.
Off at a sprint, over a log,
And the two of us landed in a bog.
Clothing's wet, it's all a-sog
Because of this here blasted dog.
Neighbours eyes are all agog
As back up the street the two of us slog.
So the next time she offers a cup of grog
I'll not be suckered into walking the dog.
