If Putin was elected
Then pigs could fly.
But, as we suspected 
Its just pie in the sky.

Their time together was heated
As she suspected he cheated
The lad did not know
No rain, no rain beau
So the cycle was repeated...

Was suspected of a theft crime
When asked for ID
He said, "There's just me
And I'm Cliff; drop over sometime!"...

She suspected it was her neighbor Cy
They kept coming almost all of her life
He finally confessed, and she became his wife...

Come to an End, all these Good Things
(Youth and Hope and splendored Springs)
But, how can I ask for Fortune's to pass
When I've cut my throat, but still wish to sing...?...

Ebenezeer Scrooge
Suspected subterfuge,
And his transformation seems extreme
For what was probably just a nightmarish dream!

For Andrea’s Christmas Clerihew contest...

D’Angelo was a baa dass rapper
Cops suspected he was a kidnapper 
   A gal climbed into his van
   When questioned by a g-man
Rapper claimed he was a ‘Whip-Her-Snapper’...

Sandra was enchanted and glamourous
Men were intimidated
Giddy when meeting her


Her winsome winning ways delighted them
None of the lot suspected
It was women she liked...

kissable lips
Audrey Hepburn worthy
Sunglasses remind me of Jackie Onassis
She lifts them
as I suspected, she is straight out of the sixties
chic and sophisticated in all ways...

As We Suspected With Trump Connected

We always knew and surely suspected,
With Trump they had been connected;
A breath taker;
Trouble maker;
Debts he has needing to be collected.

There was a florist in southern McNungus
Sloppily smeared with soil humongous. 
Customers suspected something was wrong
When proof arrived indisputably strong:
His ears displayed five varieties of fungus....

Bojo suspected a wattle*
So James Bond stepped on the throttle
As fast as he could
He reached Hollywood
Where moonlight sells by the bottle


*NEVER FORGET
Men get wattle wobble 
but Ladies have dewlap...

Aah! 
That fatal slip
tongue's tangled trap
bites back
revealing duplicitous
whispered coos; confessions
of brilliant, enthralling lies
suspected, yet undetected 
until,
like a prized peach pit,
her name is slip spit;
intended as that
of mine....

Mysterious masks.
Motives suspected.
Whispered invitation.
Dance confirms intentions.
Low hanging Venetian fog
floats through narrow streets.
Distant music from St Marks Square
drifts to rooms above.
Feelings unmasked.
Gondolas rock softly....

In front of my mirror,
I twitter as a bird every time
I attend...
It sounds crazy and it seems little,
but it helps self-esteem...
I already suspected who I was...
I'm a bird...!
even further than now
that the mirror tells me:
" Hi little bird... !"...

planning suicide
feeling as an outcast does
giving away toys

no one suspects him
feeling of euphoria
joyful decision

funeral is sombre
signs were there but no one saw
per his careful plan

did not know they said
never suspected a thing
sorry reflection...

The blast of his words unexpected.
The spoil underneath t’was suspected.
“I can’t ring the bell.
I’m buried in hell.”
The bones of the tape were projected.

A misstep detected
His image affected
PR staff directed
Positive spin injected

The slip-up rejected
An opponent suspected
To torture subjected
The slander corrected

Unanimously, as expected
The President re-elected
Foul play unsuspected
Threat now deflected...

Rumpelstiltskin's temper pronounced.
So many hard feelings he flounced.
Suspected maybe
He would get baby
Spun gold for no reason. Was trounced.

Chimps make me smile coz they resemble Uncle George
It's probably only a coincidence but I've long suspected his heritage
So I wouldn't bet the farm on it
But he does enjoy roaming the forests
Climbing trees in search of any confirmation of his parentage...

There once was a congressman named Weiner

   Suspected of exposing his 'wiener'

      Of course he claimed no knowledge

         Oh yeah! Claimed girl in college

            He could be charged with a misdemeanor

it happened during a strange confusion of reality
when the full moon howled at the wolf
if the wolf suspected interdimensional transference
it cleverly didn’t let on, just ran into the trees
luckily I don’t think anyone else noticed but me
the moon, a little brighter, had stood its ground...

A normal day,
A boy sits down with his friends,
He sets his bag down.

They talk about plans,
Ans what's happening later,
They're all unaware.

The day turns drastic,
No one would have suspected,
That this would happens.

A gun is fired,
Into a group of students,
Their plans  are ruined.

My condolences....

There once was a thief from Indiana
Who specialized in stealing bananas---
   He was lithe and thin
   And moved like the wind---
In a monkey-themed yellow bandana

He struck when it was least suspected
Stunning each victim he selected---
   Quickly in and out
   They had no time to shout---
Darn monkey!  I'll have you dissected!...

Atop tides tethered to the moon
Endless waves wash ashore.
When nature sings in perfect tune
You feel it in your core

Somehow you’re connected
Yet never suspected
you would be affected

Time slip slides
Atop tides
