Flapper Shirley Shively sighed and thought, how could she?
She'd love to do that hootchie-kootchie dance, but would she?
Though the boys she loved to tease,
She was, sadly, quite obese.
Surely Shirley Shively shouldn't shimmy, should she?
?Twenty-Twenty-Two skidoo
your year is through
we’ve had too much
of you.
Supply chain
Ukraine
Insane
And one needn’t be clairvoyant
to know despite vaccines bivalent
Covid is here to stay.
Mask-up.
Climate overheating
sea levels rising
yet Buffalo freezing
perhaps the Bills
will win Superbowl LVII
in MMXXIII
Twenty-Twenty-Two skidoo
your year is through
we’ve had too much
of you.
I classified this as free verse but there should be a category for doggerel
We got out to enjoy our sun
Snuggled warm
To avoid the cold harm
Fresh air
Messed up our hair
Slid down like children
Felt the joy of freedom living
Our laughter we filled
As we cruised down the hills
Sunny shinning bright
Watch out, I am coming from the right
Look overhead
Took in snow instead
Skidoo trails to show us where to go
As we trekked through the snow
God kindness does lead
Every time we need
What is a little favor
Between neighbour
Showing our heart matters
We choose to help each other
God shaped these mountains for you
We enjoyed the view
Have you
Waterloo Clerihew 23-Skidoo
Napoleon Bonaparte
1769 Corsica is where he got his start
One of the greatest commanders in history
His manner of death a 200-year-old mystery
Napoleon played it close to the vest
With his armies he was always the best
But 'twas nothing he could do
When he met his Waterloo
Lived his last few years under house arrest
Napoleon drank the water and headed for the loo
He did nothing different than you or I could ever do
Be kind to your skin and protect your bone-a-parts
Remember that's where good hygiene starts!
