Jack had to psych up
Just to go hike up
That hill with that Jill
Who was such a pill,
So he felt that tyke up!

She could tie her shoes
  and ride her bike
Made scrambled eggs as a tyke

Today's kids do so much more
  before the age of three
Of course, they do it all

At sixty, my dear old dad rode a pedal bike
Montreal to Toronto and back, totally amazing like
350 miles there and back
Only 7 days, how about that 
Proud? You betcha, was a proud young tyke...

Cursed For Four Years

Could a President compared to Trump be worst?
And of cover never have been well rehearsed;
Loser looks like,
Since little tyke;
For fours more years of him we will be cursed.

Bright pink Apollo Candy bike
her smile as wide as handlebars
with new found freedom my young tyke
laughed as she tried to race the cars

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."--Einstein

"what's time," asked the tyke
"just pick any time you like
since they all happen at once"
as knows any horological dunce
and dickory up my clock and strike...

That toy train; those two tanks.

Tell Teddy Thomas thanks.

Those thoughtful tokens three

to totally thrill thee -

treasure them, tiny tyke.

Tomorrow –the toy trike!

When he learned that one ungrateful tyke
had returned gifts that he didn't like,

Santa bet the next brat
who tried something like that

would get briquettes instead of a bike!

Trump Cashes In Again

Trump cashes in again on backlashes,
While many people he always trashes,
Since a tyke,
No one did like;
Orange shower is color of eye lashes.

There once was a tall man named Mike
Theres not a pair he didn't like
He enjoys his rest
His head on my breasts
No two are exactly alike

Ever since he was a small tyke
Breasts he seemed to really like
Boobs on woman's chests
Thinks they're the best
There aren't any that he dislikes.

Ben’s best friend was a dog named Zid
Who he treated just like his own kid.
When Ben rode his bike
Zid piggy-backed like a tyke
Holding tightly in case of a skid.

Lucille bought herself a three-wheeled trike
Better for her than a two-wheel bike
Her age was catching up
When she had a slip-up
Running over a three-year-old tyke.

Police charged Lucille with manslaughter
With no jail time, thanks to her daughter
Quashing spectacles, 
No more vehicles
And keeping off the police blotter.

(This is a fictional poem)

I proved that the Loch Ness monster is real.
But it raped me and that was a terrible ordeal.
The monster is ugly and as big as a whale.
I learned the hard way that it's a female.
Now the monster is pregnant and she'll have a tyke.
I hate to think of what my freak baby will look like.
Visiting Loch Ness is something that I regret.
You'd better stay as far away from there as you can get....

Not till God's Timing
So... go on rhyming.
Be innocent-like--
as a humble tyke.

As needed, repent --
We'll be Heaven-sent
Keep Mercy in soul--
Before God calls roll.

Pray much, without shame,
So He knows our name! :-)
Before entering... stat
Use His Welcome Mat!

Summing up with a haiku of "the ABC's of Divine Mercy":
Ask for God's Mercy
Be merciful to others
Completely trust Him...

Bedtime is at Eight

By Elton Camp

Rearing kids can be okay
Yet, for bedtime, hooray!

A blessed interval of quiet
Before collapsing for the night

Especially for Mom, it’s a treat
Free from the patter of little feet

All the hungry mouths are fed
They’re clean and in their bed

Kid, get in your bed or fear
That ogre mother will appear

It’s a transformation you won’t like
So obey your bedtime, little tyke

Lest she commence to scream and yell
Like a mom who’s straight from hell...

From my very first moment  I was "round"
Easily verified by pictures found

Such an adorable little lass
Even though having some extra mass

Having  dimples here and dimples there
Always sporting pigtails in my hair

My  sweet face a perfect little ball
Unfortunately, I was not so very tall

 Never met a person I didn't like
Always such an engaging little tyke

To be a pudgy princess was my plight
Now, happily" round" in places right


For the Baby-Boo contest..lol...

All Around South Had To Hike

All around South did have to hike,
And every single bit of it  did like,
To bare bone,
When alone,
Even riding trike when a little tyke.

Crab with conch and zucchini and okra.
Sound familiar? Some guy said that
grits are not as good as they used to 
be. Probably forgot to put butter on 
them. Remember Gullah culture and
Charleston River Dogs and Savannah
Southerners baseball team.
Have you ever heard of Huck's in
Charleston before?...
