So well that some would call a cop
With lightning speed
He did the deed
Because he could not lie on top!

Premium Member Dragon Weather

A dragon, in waggin' his tail,
Unleashed a vast torrent of hail.
Though friendly enough,
If overly gruff,
He sure made it tougher to sail.

Another Sailor's Tail Tale

They paddled till we reached the shore
Where I set them free to explore
Then back to the sea
This sailor did flee
They’ll not paddle me anymore

Thirst

Give a glass of water 
To those beyond the altar
Quenching their thirst
Listening to their curse
Giving them a voice
And freedom of choice.

Premium Member The Ride

A carnival ride Bodies floating on the air A sensational High, fascinating the mind; Just don’t eat right before it.

Aging

Getting younger every day, 
Achieving your goals more so, 
With life, with its assertion of entitlement, 
Enabling you to arrive at fulfilment.

Cake Thief

I wish I could bake
I like to eat cake
But my culinary skills are crap
I go to a wake
Make some handshakes
Then leave with a sponge in my bag

Cautionary Tail

There was a chap from Queens
Who loved big bowls of beans.
He ate them with delight
Both morning and night.
Blasting a hole backside his jeans.

The Tail

He ate a rabbit then grew a tail
Start moving around like a snail
Tried to chop it off
At a very high-cost
He laid his tail onto a train’s rail

A Mermaid's Tail

Davy Jones was clearly immoral
When he ruled all sex must be oral
But one mermaid's tail
Excited a whale
And his fluke just shattered the coral!
