A Snappy Comeback
Little Miss Mary was thirteen years old, and lived in gold, olden days;
Like the longed for future, peeking at past, both of them full of praise.
Miss Mary lived in a western town, with her dear Mother and Father;
And adored redbirds as daily companions, singing 'til days got darker.
Mary loved the magical, motley circus, eager as

Snappy Electron
I came upon an electron, quick.
That little fellow had a trick.
Just as I fixed his rate of travel,
his position would unravel.

snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail
snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail
met Melton Mickey, a piece of mail
preening privately in potter’s pail
saying Selena’s son Shawn should shortly sail
allowing alloys, alligators and aliens ale
believing beyond bunker boy’s blueblood bale
kicking kindhearted kiwi into kangaroo kale
amusing snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail

make it snappy
Johnny rode up with his rideable car pedals screeching and screaming.
The new gas station attendant asked the boss “is it me? Am I dreaming?”
Go out there and pretend, the boss said, “It makes the kid happy.”
“Premium gas please,” Johnny said to the attendant “and make it snappy”.

His Epitaph, Short and Snappy
They nagged him till he'd had enough.
His one remaining joy was snuff.
Beyond the post that ends his race
he has found a better place.
This is no time to joke or laugh
but to write his epitaph.
Art is long but life is short.
I lack the time to more report.
Short and snappy were his days,
short therefore to him my

Snappy the Lost Baby Alligator Gator
Once upon a time in a magical
Pond there was a
Baby alligator name Snappy
Due to a storm that quickly appeared
He was swept away from his mommy
So, he set out on a quest to find her
He came upon a pig pen, the pigs
Were scared to death when they
Saw him but then Snappy asked
Have you seen my mommy?
The

Snappy Snowflake Wants Identity
Snappy snowflake was holding onto the sky for dear life.
"Come on down!" Yelped her husband, missing his wife.
She was terrified of falling into a pile and losing herself.
"Soon," she said, hoping to be rescued by a snow giver elf.
"Come on down here!" Yelled her relatives, "Let go. Just drop!"
Her mother told them “You are scaring

The Morning View From Snappy Shine
The Morning View from Snappy Shine
David J Walker
7 AM
and the doors
of Snappy Shine
Are open
The lights turned
on for the
Artists already at work in
Palettes of kiwi and spit
Lawyers and Bankers await
Their turn for their
Usual seat with
Greetings passed
to the Rhythm of
rag-men relaxed
Skillfully mixing politics with spit
and blackened wax
The Friday

Because I Am Snappy Apologies To Pharrell Williams
It might seem silly what I’m ‘bout to say
Fun rhyme is here. You can make a cake.
I’m a hot bear buffoon that could easily race.
With the wind, I don’t care, baby. It’s my way!
(Chorus)
Because I’m snappy!
Clap along if you feel like a buffoon or a little goof.
Because I’m snappy!
Clap along if you feel snappiness

Snappy T
There once was a woman named aptly Snappy T.
Happy, tappy and zappy as a rappy dappy me.
Diligent and hardworking as a slappy bumblebee.
The envy of most, also proud owner of a nappy chickadee.
Friends and admirers loved to watch out for little Snappy T.
She was a favorite in the city so, lappy, zappy, free.

Happy-Snappy Birthday Jane
Jane, Jane
You're so mundane;
Your cackle, your laugh reminds me much such
As of a champagne
Your voice makes me queasy
And yet you are feisty
Though this message
May seem arcane
Happy, snappy birthday Jane

Happy Snappy Ladybug Me
Happy Snappy Ladybug me.
I am as cheerful as you think I ought to be.
I fly brief ways from flower to flower.
Some are tasty, others are sour.
Happy Snappy Ladybug me.
What you get is what you see.
Red back with spots so pretty and black.
I fly from one flower, taste, and promptly fly back.
Happy Snappy Ladybug me.

Woke up in a snappy, laughy mood.
Ate nine cookies, for my breakfast food.

In every kind of way,
With children who exude gratitude
