Uh grasshopper I hate what you do
My lawn you sit and you chew
My spray called zits
It kills bloody knits
With my slipper I whip your ass to Timbuktu

The vicar of Timbuktu*
Drank a bit more than a few
He pulled out his clock
And said to his flock,
"It looks like urine luck, too!"

There once was a rhino from Timbuktu
Who considered himself a kangaroo--
He took a big leap
Landed all in a heap--
Sat up and played taps on his kazoo.

Two weeks ago I could stroll
along the riverside happy smiling in peace
Where’d it go?
And can the Timbuktu of tomorrow really
be closer than my home of yesterday?

baloney I say to the latest political ballyhoo
no one gets shot with a high power in Timbuktu
and they get more than an ear scratch if they do
I roll my eyes and scoff at the crazy new ballyhoo

Okay here's a quiz, “what rhymes with bugaboos”
Well, time's up... no, it isn't a town in Timbuktu
To the back of the class
Bong, your time has passed
When you sneeze and put stuff all over your shoe

Once a bookworm from Timbuktu
Devoured every book he went through
He was quiet scary
Ate every book in the library
First editions, hardcovers and paperbacks too

Aardvark Limerick
An Aardvark living in Timbuktu,
Raised his finger and said,” screw you”
Why so rude, I said back,
Lovely manners you do lack.
So, to reciprocate, I gave him two.

I sit in the sun, the dogs are up here too
our young puppy digs a hole in the yard toward Timbuktu
now he’s on top of his brother, pushing the Great Dane down in the dirt
a gentle giant, his bro merely rolls away, nothing bothers Old Kurt

Turbulent takeoff, tension thick
Tongue-tied terror, toxic trip
Tropical tornado tempestuous threat
Timbuktu touchdown, tomorrow Tibet.
Begin with a letter
T is letter chosen

Salafist Tanka
In Timbuktu
Tobacco is banned
Hands get cut off
Of those who smoke cigarettes
Awkward if you roll your own
Tanka
Knocks on the front door
A draught of cold air got in
Sleeps between us
Tomorrow… valentine´s day
Insincere words and flowers.

It is hard to believe but it is true
Last night my wife Sue stayed home with her boo
I was such a wonderful jack
Had to give him hefty kickback
To spend the night in a Timbuktu loo.

a plum, a peach, a song, a beach
a bend, a curvy straightaway
a bob, a dip, a dunk, a screech
a hair-breadth turn took your future away
you nerveless nock, how dare you rock
this sanctimonious cerebrum with poppycock
it behooves you to hoof it to Timbuktu ~
haunting howls from the bowels of Montezu

I know a guy from timbuktu.
Who works at his family zoo.
Has body odor so strong,
That could shock Mr. King Kong.
Bo put on a mask and muu muu.
muu•muu ('mu?mu)
n., pl. -muus.
a long, loose-hanging dress, usu. brightly
colored or patterned.

Jacks are played in Israel.
Jacks are played in Spain.
Jacks are played in Texas
And in the Florida rain.
Jacks are played in Korea
And played by kids like us.
Jacks are played in Hawaii.
Stop making all that fuss!
Jacks are played in Singapore.
Somalia and Zimbabwe too.
Jacks are played in Trinidad.
And probably Timbuktu.

Tippy Canoe and Tyler too
Gray rabbit is on top with attitude, spots overdue
Red rhino steadies him as he leans
Balancing a blue ball, which is filled with beans
Rocket ship is kind of in the middle
played by a panda who is never second fiddle
they are all riding across the lake on a tan canoe
decorated by the busy gnomes from Timbuktu

There was a horny man from Timbuktu.
Fell in love with a girl from Kathmandu.
Bursting with desire and lust.
Felt she's the one he can trust.
Asked for a game of sexy peekaboo.
Finally switched on their video chat,
but he realised he had been a prat.
Slowly lifting her pink frock,
revealed a ginormous cock.
The shock almost gave him a heart attack!

I can write a poem that’s short
Or write one that is long
If I had me a piano
I could probably write a song
I could write a funny limerick
About a place called Timbuktu
And with just three lines
That do not rhyme
I'd write a nice Haiku
I could write for you a story
About heroes brave and strong
But why wont someone tell me…
How do you write a wrong?

she wasn't blind
she couldn't see
the night was dark
and so was she
deep down inside
where love should be
was cold
he wished that she
would see his face
the inner man
the waiting grace
but everywhere she made
a place
was cold
her hair was wavy
eyes were blue
she owned a third
of timbuktu
but everything she tried
to do
was cold

I do not know?
It’s true, at first it gave me pause
To busk among these stable stalls.
But since there’s cause to deck the halls,
Why not be jolly, too?
Been from here to Timbuktu
And played some funky gigs. but this?
Between the manger and the wise guys… good Lord!
Faith may be noble, but ignorance is bliss.
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Rum-pum-pum-pum,
Rum-pum-pum-pum…

Verse
Her great-grandfather was an Irish lad
with bright red hair. He went to Timbuktu
and met a Muslim, black and beautiful.
Their oldest daughter wed a fair-skinned Jew!
They had a son who wed an Asian girl
with French and Tongan blood, but nobody
can believe the beauty of THEIR daughter -
a stunning product of diversity!

Hey! Hey! Hey! We are going to Timbuktu today!
Sing croaking this is a frog family known as McCray
They pack their red Volkswagen into the ground
It won’t move a bit, steering wheel cannot move around
I cannot let go of anything little sister admits
Daddy gets angry and throws two masculine fits.
Mommy also refuses to take any suitcases down
So they get stuck staying all weekend in their town.

They talk about me in Cincinnati and Kalamazoo
In Texas, Idaho, Wyoming, Russia and Timbuktu.
They like my photos but few travel to New York City.
Where the Broadway shows are spectacular and witty.
A skyscraper, what is that? Asks a child from Chad.
I’m the Empire State Building, beautiful and bad.
Decorated each December in lights of green and red.
Come to New York City, see me, and get amply fed.
