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!"...

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...

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

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

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!...

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!...

Tom Sawyer
Old Tom Sawyer went into St Bart’s
He said “Doc I am dropping huge farts”
The doc got a large trowel
To examine Tom’s bowel
As Tom’s flatus was way off the charts!
Doc announced, “My prognosis is clear,
But my findings you won’t want to hear -
The reason for the gas
Being passed from your ass
Is your diet of curry and beer!”
Checked using how many syllables
*St Bart’s is a famous hospital in London
