The Yankee rancher still blusters
in a drawl he barely musters
launching holy wars
while behind locked doors
he would give more head than Custer.

A blue whale spied a Yankee clipper.
First, he used his tail to flip her.
He gulped her whole, and feeling chipper,
he closed his mouth with a zipper.

Dodgers in five. Yankee fans weep.
Four times Freddie Freeman went deep.
We hope to see you here
again, this time next year.
Duke and Mickey go back to sleep.

There once was a Yankee called Trump
Whom so many thought a real chump
Now that he's President
And the White House resident
Down to earth they've come with a bump

He fancies himself a Yankee Doodle
He does, my nattily coiffed French Poodle
Struts with nose in the air
Flaunting his layered hair
Just got him a playmate ~ a grizzly bear

Greenland will be our posh winterland plaza
Blueprints unfold for a Riviera Gaza
Just hot air baloneyism
Or old-fashioned colonialism?
Panamanians shout leave! Viva la Raza!

I'm the luckiest man on earth, Lou Gehrig had said
Two months later, the greatest Yankee was dead
Gehrig suffered from ALS, a fatal disease
He peered beyond the pain, his words a fresh breeze

There are too many people whose favorite trick,
Is to preach, "Walk softly and carry a big stick."
But, in practice, they arrogantly sing Yankee Doodle
And stomp around loudly, but carry a wet noodle

I wish I was a scent creator
for Yankee Candle
I can just taste them now:
fresh cut grass,
gasoline fumes,
dragged dirt,
after rain smell,
where you breathe in
and the air tastes like dirt
or earthworms.

Happy 4th of July, all my Yankee friends
All us guys celebrate with you, your day of independence
Two countries side by side
Stand tall beaming with pride
Together, a shining example of peaceful coexistence

Yankee Doodle
had a poodle,
and its name was Tony.
He fed this dog on fish and chips
and lots of macaroni.
Yankee Doodle
lacks a poodle.
Now he has a terrier.
Every day it learns new tricks.
The more it learns, the merrier.

Canadian by birth, North American by choice
Yankee, Canuck, Mexicano, I speak with one voice
We live strong and free
These great countries three
I raise my voice in harmony and happily rejoice

Had tickets for the Yankee game
But it has been postponed.
Relentless rain was forecast
Where the stadium is zoned.
The make-up date they gave us
Is the third week in September,
So we will have another shot –
If only we remember!

Now picture this little scene if you can
On our wedding night, a little humour I had planned
Came into the room looking svelte
Wearing only a Yankee cap and a belt
Needless to say it broke the ice and the night turned out grand

Yogi Bear was named after this famous New York Yankee
Twas Yogi Berra, hearing him speak you never be cranky
A real fun loving soul
With a heart of pure gold
His goofy wit had his teammates forever needing a hanky

...Though in closing, it must be said
they did not remain there for long.
A damned Yankee wed to a Reb?
The locals all declared it wrong.
Like many others they went west,
and made Colorado there home,
the family lives there to his day,
‘Abner’ a family name well-known.
…and ‘April’ too.

ISIS-K blew up a girls' school*
al-Qaida claim flogging is cool
No girl is worth
A clump of earth
Wherever the Taliban rule
Jihadists strive to be lanky
To decapitate a Yankee
If Allah were judge
Would He prefer fudge
To another bloodstained hanky?
*whilst school was in session!

oh say can you see by the dead army's fright.
was so loudly we failed by the moonlight's last screaming
yankee doodle came through town
riding on a poor soul. he denied his freedom and his weak ride even more so.
god shed his disgrace on thee,
from melting icecap's majesty
from fee to dining fee.

No note,
the bed unmade,
the milk, imprisoned in plastic,
left to grow solid on the kitchen table.
Winter’s gray made me insane, and
so I flew on steel wings to Buenos Aires,
where the air is humid and smells of unwashed
sins, and the angry sun beats down
on oceans of grass,
and the red wine flows,
numbing my Yankee brain.
