to me, and pretty though they were,
I wasn't thrilled at all because

He went to rob a bank,
With knickers on his head.
The clerk was rather frank:
‘I hope they’re clean,’ she said.
Based on a true story - I don't think he was ever caught.

Her snores annoyed a guy.
He told her to shut up,
And stabbed her in the eye. *

Some doc sold a dancer named Bubbles
A new set of fourty-four doubles
Men whistled and lusted
She slipped and they busted
But got Workman's Comp for her troubles

A young man who plays the piano.
Came into the church, bench sit down on.
And what he did spy
Would catch any eye.
His zipper was opened so wide, Oh!

This young man who played the piano.
Knew something had to be done pronto!
So during the prayer
When no one's aware.
He zipped pants right up with a gusto!

Eating cookies, pretzels and beer
Now looked at the scale
And started to wail

Let’s give him the nickname of Sayles.
In suit, he does chomp at his nails.
Preoccupied schlub
gnaws down to the nub.
A shame as he chews at details.

Once I wrote a really good poem
My teacher wrote
‘Lightning doesn’t strike twice, Sam’
A 'D' in the course spurred my belated reply ~

There once was a lady named Vickie,
Whose eating habits were quite picky.
She preferred her sweet treats,
To vegetables and meats,
Saying, "Healthy foods are just too icky!"

True Story
They didn't like me at the school
They didn't like me at the pool
They didn't want me on the street
They didn't want me on two feet
It took some time, 'till I grew tall
Now they want me after all

Romantic dreams were shattered when
They roamed the sheet in search of food
And hunted on the pillowcase;
The bedbugs spoilt the loving mood…*

Forget to brush; must maintain that gleam
Run to sink, grab a tube, no light stream
Such an odd taste in my mouth
Quickly I must spit it out
Oh, dear Lord, it’s Dad’s hemorrhoid cream!

GRATITUDE, SACRED
Joy comes to be
Your true story
If you but see
Truth and beauty
Be pure of heart
For wisdom starts
With sacred art
As love imparts
