Limerick For Sullivan

I paced as the coffee brewed
To one spot Sully stayed glued
"Dad where is my mom?"
She was held in Guam
Because her pug nose was skewed

My Sullivan Needs a Work Permit

Hey no ifs ands or buts about it
problems come from a bottomless pit 
Chicken roasts and all
the roots of your fall
My Sullivan needs a work permit

Marty

Martin Russell Sullivan 
was a rare blend of humor and gentleman.  
May the wild eyed Nazi skin head who shot him dead 
forever rot in the hell hole he so richly deserved.

Luscious Lips Amanda Sullivan 15th July 2012

Smiley full lips,
silky smooth,
luscious and glistening,
juicy and glossy,
pouting and alluring,
succulent and irresistable,
sweet, sexy and heavenly,
that's me and my lips.

Raw Deal

Sullivano  frisked his tail
Folded hands asked for a bail

Surely, he got a "raw deal"

Sullivan In Limerick

Sullivan heard the professor's talks
Nodded his head and reached for the woks
The Quantum Theory
Is tomato puree
He learnt this in the school of hard knocks











Sullivan is my pet ghost

Premium Member Jazz Singers

Sammy Davis and Ella Fitzgerald, jazz singers
Their b'deed'lee-dip riffs on the Sullivan show didn't linger
   In America's consciousness, and that's really too bad
   They were surely the best jazz singers America's ever had

Sully Was Back In the Saddle

Sully* was back in the saddle 
up the creek without a paddle 
Meenie stole his hat
followed a stout rat
With cookies his hands did meddle








Sully* is Sullivan my pet simian ghost
Meenie is my cat
Both are naughty

Sullivan was happy as a bird

Life's Challenges

I am Amanda sullivan

who needs peace and creativity,

who loves her son unconditionally,

who sees failure, but also positivity and gain,

who hates bullying, and deceitful relationships,

who fears a life alone, devoid of love and friendship,

who dreams of wealth, happiness, and a life by the sea.

Meenie Ate Cookies

That kind of thing really griped his soul
                           Meenie ate cookies smuggled from my bowl
                                         Sullivan sighed a little
                                       He was so sick and brittle
                            Whittled himself down to size with a howl

Sullivan Was Sick

Sullivan was sick Oh Meenie played a trick
                           She kept under his pillow a fresh fish stick
                                        Sully smelled a heaven
                                         Devoured like a raven
                   And he stretched his legs "Oh I have dropped a brick"

Sullivan Stole My Dime

Sullivan  stole my dime
                                    He was taxed with the crime
                                            In my backyard
                                            My Sully  feared
                                    He might pay with the rhyme

Listen to poem:
Black and white television set
First one in the neighborhood

Rabbit ears adjusting the reception
Rotating dial to change channels

Kiddie cartoons and Roy Rogers
Weekly ritual of Saturday mornings

Much talked about Sunday nights

Staying up past our bedtime
Honeymooners and I Love Lucy

Meenie and Sullivan

Meenie was clamoring against higher prices of milk
                         My Sullivan hit a clinker he was not of that ilk
                                        Sullivan screeched a lot
                                        My Meenie shot her bolt
                        And both in revolt ate turnips artichokes and silk




Meenie= my pet female cat
Sullivan=my pet simian ghost

A Bathroom Pantoum

Antonio a tenor's ring,
in the bathroom he would sing
Gilbert and Sullivan was his thing,
oft he'd sound this manly zing,
in the bathroom he would: sing!
all his music he would bring,
oft he'd sound; this manly zing!
the kitchen staff could hear him sing,
all his; music he would bring.
Gilbert and Sullivan was his thing?
the kitchen staff could. Hear him sing!
Antonio: a tenor's ring.

Premium Member Beatle Mania

It seemed like only yesterday
That the Beatles came on the scene
And the music that they played
Excited all the teens

 They appeared on the Ed Sullivan show
 To a TV audience that was all aglow
As they sang" I want to hold your hand"
One of the greatest hits of the band

They broke up in 1970
And rumors as to why were plenty
But there can be no doubt
That they made us twist and shout
