by stray sneaky give-in sways

Go willy-nilly
Maybe just need a bop!...

Placing a wager on a chestnut filly
Who ran around all willy nilly
Bringing up the rear in the Derby of Dilly...

Who would sometimes act very silly
He would smoke pot too much
Drink beer, whiskey and such
Made him run around willy-nilly...

Got a case of bad breath from hot chili
   He breathed, and banzai
   You thought you might die
He'd add curry powder willy-nilly...

Goofy as they were, my memories are mellow
Their antics were silly
A bit willy nilly
Bud and Lou were hilarious fellows...

Dragged multitude of boxes out yesterday.

Sorted them madly, pitching stuff willy-nilly.

My husband offered to take it all away.

Brought half back.  Trusting him was really silly....

There was a young man from Piccadilly
who was known as thoughtful Willy
Never did he do things willy nilly
He’d grind his corn
With a pestle well worn
And give it to his handsome filly....

That's where I met a girl with whom I flirted
I'm such a silly
Brain got willy nilly
Pregnant she got, sadly her husband was alerted...

Tuesday, waken, shaman

Thursday, nightmare, continue
Friday, continue, overtime
Saturday, overtime, apparently
Sunday, apparently, restless...

Definitely on a roll, not a bread roll you sillies
Lims often stream out my bum, willy-nilly
Okay settle down people
It's really not illegal
But I see how it can break the tranquillity...

Bout kissing and stuff, some cute little fillies

At the very mere mention
Of girlies in bikinis, I get all willy nilly...

In Love


Gushy mushy sexy face
Pushy pully silky lace.

Hints droppin, questions poppin

Ooey, gooey time flew by
Munchin slurpin warm apple pie.

Willy nilly wander gone
Warm and fuzzy web is spun....

The catch in your breath
  your pulsating chest

You're lightheaded, silly
  tongue babbling, willy-nilly

Eviscerated, all that
  when she crosses your path

Your heart turned to stone
  bare survival alone...

Sort of Silly

I seem to be on a beautiful roll.

Saw a nice filly walking on Piccadilly;
To you this may sound sort of silly;
My marvelous pick;
Good looking chick;
Compared to my wife was willy nilly.

Well we're finally settling into our brand new abode
Looked like a bomb went off as we began to unload
Stuff placed willy nilly
It's driving us silly
We'll finally get it done, then wonder where it's stowed

So many people do things hither and yon
Willy-nilly, without my permission.
Without my approval
Without my knowledge.
I used to want to control these people
But now all I want is a warm place to sleep,
a credit card that works,
and food in my refrigerator...

Oh, yes, I was held hostage by my stuff for a month about.
It was suffocating me, squeezing all the energy out.
To look at it depleted me, made me a loser, a lout.
I began to sort and throw willy nilly, here and there and about.
I am not complete yet, but I feel better without a doubt....

I'm up before you,
I'm up after you,
Burning the midnight oil
As if I didn't toil.

Burning the wick
On both ends,
No wonder I'm
Always sick.

Roy's very silly
Always "willy-nilly"
Playing with no 
Rhyme or reason.

He bull-dozes us
'Til we want to cuss,
Then they're both
Up at two,
So what do you do?...
