Popeye and Olive’s Spinach Spree
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I gulp spinach straight from the can
I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I am—
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
I’m strong to the finish,
’cause I gulp down my spinach,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
Now Olive Oyl, she made a vow—
“No spinach for me, not ever, not now!”
But she’ll kiss me tonight,
’cause

Chicks and Ducks in Splashing Spree
Bursting, breaking free from egg shells with glee
Baby chicks welcome their blest endowed worth
Amidst mother Earth’s radiating mirth
Ready to frolic in the pond --- there they flee.
Cheerful in their sunny color delight
Ducklings quack, inviting attention gain
While they wobble gladly, devoid of strain
Traversing terrain midst their dancing flight.
As water fowls of playful swimming zest
Ducks and chicks

crime spree duo
The duo runs from the law and evades the police
Their wild crime spree did not slow or cease
Bank robberies gave them half million each
Their next target is jewelry store at Redondo Beach

Shopping Spree
This old madam bought a big Christmas tree,
size could be problem she did not foresee.
Low level door frame it hit,
on dewed lawn she let it sit.
She dodged mind’s radar while on shopping spree.

Tea Crime Spree
Tea came percolating from the pot
Burglarizing the neighborhood clans
Moms held their babies in their arms
Above their heads for fear of caffeine
The fiend held everyone hostage
At gun point it seems without a doubt
Leaving the young to their own devices
To run or drink coffee as

Christmas Shopping Spree
This old lady bought a big Christmas tree
Size could be a problem she didn’t foresee
In the room she couldn’t take it
On the lawn she let it sit
She was out of mind while on shopping spree.

Mom, Dad, and the Kids On a Shopping Spree
When the kids are in the shopping cart
They never stop once they start
Mommy, Daddy, I want these cookies
This candy, this cereal, this pizza, this --
They're pros at it, they never were rookies
When Dad goes shopping, if he's alone
He revels in his 'Comfort Zone'
I'll get this for my breakfast,

On a Playful Spree
I was maybe two or, possibly, three
When I tossed our cat into the deep well
As a toddler, I was on a playful spree.
I am certain everyone would now agree
My reasoning, it would be hard to tell,
I was maybe two or, possibly, three.
I was much too young, as anyone can see,
To think it anything other than

Violent Deadly Crime Spree Shoots Upward One
Gun owners indiscriminately brandish
loaded firearms toward innocent victims,
and concomitantly excite
purported in accordance
with first amendment, relish
yet proliferation allowing
free ranging banshee dervish
sans weapons of mass destruction
(mainly innocent lives)
inures citizens to appear off fish
U.S., and self-important
becoming comfortably numb
at regular headlines detailing
some lone a bit mish
hug ha, an automatic killer
methodically unloading with a swish
multitudinous cartridges attempt
to evening the score,

Violent Deadly Crime Spree Shoots Upward Two
This epidemic re:

trappings, whence went Pandora out the lid
anger loosed maniacally gun down
