Terry and His Ferry

There was a man called Terry
Who captained his own Ferry
When his ship hit a rock
He recovered from the shock
Drinking a bottle of Sherry.

Terry Town

At midnight,
The scarecrow
Sleepwalks and leaves 
His mark upon every grave

Giant footprints abound,
In a quiet sleepy place
Called Terry Town

Premium Member Terry Lad a Fiddle Player Nursery Rhyme

Terry Lad a fiddle player
plucked his fiddle with his bow
And whenever he raised again
the cats would lull endure.

They followed him good and gay
that wasn't very cool.
It made the stray dogs prolonged a bay
to hear the fiddler play.

Terry's Death

Terry's death was a crushing blow
One we loved and closely did know
Hear at home he had died
And his family cried and cried
Party for him we should throw.

That was what they did for Terry
today. They had a service followed 
by a wake. Jim Horn

Fabric French Terry Knit

French Terry Knit Fabric, 
  I’m comfy overlay-
               fibers of yarn on my pale skin,
               cozy on Autumn days.
      Embroidered silk within, 
                    sleek with burnished and shiny glaze.

Berry and Cherry

As we gobble berry
And devour cherry
The heart is merry
Towards Bliss on a ferry
For Jerry and Kerry
And for Perry and Terry

As we indulge berry
And mouths cram with cherry
Disappointments we bury
And our woes the dreary

Then, a reply that shouldn’t me weary:
Where’s my promised berry
And guaranteed cherry?

For Terry Miller

Man does man have ways when he wants to fight, I pray the race gets renewed by warriors who use energy spikes instead of virus spikes, ... and how is God? I hide him in my chest away from guns, I'm shooting for the moon with bullet sized stars, my friend, and a pen of course, sending you a beg hello, :) and a smile to make your day.

For My Friend Terry

For My Friend Terry



I must count all of the many ways

Even if in a daze or horrendous haze

And instead of running off in a rage

With my energy God I must engage.




No one does like to lonely die

Have to wipe their tears all dry

God for me whose life He planned

It is Him who always will understand.

Premium Member Terry Twinkle

Governor Terry Twinkle **                          ** not his real name (ha, ha)
Over us did sprinkle
   Some clumsy, inadept sprinkle

How'd he win the governorship?
His opponent's racism he ripped  
   Now it's Twinkle 
   Whose wings've been clipped --

Appearing in a photo
That he shouldn't have ought to 
   In blackface beside a Ku Klux Klanner 

We insist he resign
He responds with this whine --
  To err is human; I'm not divine

Premium Member Jenny and Terry

Jenny died eight years ago, but her sister Terry never let her go.
She speaks to her daily, which worries her parents.
They have taken her to a psychiatrist, but nothing changes.
She is still here, she insists. They do not understand. 
Neither has a drop of belief in spirituality.
To them dead is dead; no personality, no soul, nothing.
Terry plays on the hill in front of the pond as often as possible.
For it is there that she sees the reflection of Jenny in the pond.

Premium Member Terry, a Naughty Boy - Nursery Rhyme

Terry tried to cross the wall with one bound;
					
And had his two front teeth crowned!	
						
Near his granny's house, a lake he found;
					
Not knowing beans about swimming, he drowned;

And gallons of muddy water he downed!

Not sitting quiet, he irked an angry hound;

Catching his calf, it got his muscle almost a pound!

All around, all the time, thus he clowned!!
