Tom Sawyers Boutique
When Tom Sawyer opened his boutique 
His first ad caused people to scoff
The wording caused the bad critique
It said, "Tom Sawyer panties half off!"...

Premium Member Lunch With Tom Sawyer
I won a lunch for two with Tom Sawyer
And there he was waiting in the foyer 
  He wore his best old straw hat
  But was told "You can't wear that" 
Good thing I'm a hayseed defense lawyer...

Tap, tap, clickety-clack
Thoughts vigilantly stamped
Trademark of transcription
Technology's prologue
Twain's famous "Tom Sawyer"
Time etched black and white scene
Tinted with grandpa's dust

pap comes on whisky; 
whenever he falls down, says
wildly, "Who pushed me?"

Premium Member No Luck With Huck
I once had to hire a fine lawyer 
After, Huck spilled paint in my foyer 
Known the laywer to be good...
Like the folklore; Robin Hood 
Maybe, I should have hired Tom Sawyer

Premium Member Made Fun of By a Chicken Slayer
He fancies himself Mark Twain the chicken slayer said.
His hat is ridiculous, I would not wear it even if I was dead.
Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn? You mean asked a reader well bred.
Not sure said the chicken slayer, but look at that stupid hat on his head!...

Premium Member Homemade Ice Cream
Iced down in a wooden tub, Chilled more with rock salt, Taking turns, Tom Sawyer style, Hand-cranked until firm. Remove the paddle, Barely scrape, Lick! Homemade ice cream with fresh fruit Is reason enough To suspend any diet, Avoiding further Justification. Just have some Now!

Underdeveloped Inspired By My Friend Sandra
As a young boy with older brothers
A father who was either drunk or in prison 
My big brother had a one on one talk with me
About being developed 

But first this story about Tom Sawyer
He read in school about Tom and played me for a fool
Somehow he talked me into painting his room blue, fact!!
But one day when all was quiet

He explained sex to me
No wonder I could never find a girl
Who liked me?
Darn Brothers anyway!...
