Also, I Seem To Be Getting Smaller…

I look like a million bucks

Which really, REALLY sucks:

I’m paper thin

With off-green skin

And my value’s always in flux.

Other People’s Cats

Life is like this little guy,

At first cute and fluffy and shy.

It’ll sit on your lap,

Happy purring, then SNAP!

And that’s why I wear this glass eye…

 
“Mimi” – AKA “Snake”

Maybe Tomorrow I’ll Have A Topic

Some days before going to bed

A little voice speaks in your head:

“Write something funny

“Without sex, dogs, or money,”

And so you write limericks instead.

Bacon

Bacon is like Hell,

As I know all too well.

Both hurt in the end,

And the scars never mend,

But before all that, they’re swell!

I Did Too

There was a teenager from Kiev

That people oft told how to liev.

He painted a plate

As blank as a slate

With all the shits he didn’t giev.

Almost Educated

I never learned how to sew,
So my homemaking skills are so-so,
But I know “two” from “to,”
And I even learned “too,”
So I guess you reap what you so.

In Sickness and in Health

I made a commitment
To this poetical quest
That each day, rain or shine
Something rhyming would be pressed.

And so as I lie
Awash in my phlegm*
I write you this limerick,
Though it is not a gem:

There once was a very sick poet
Whose nose needed someone to blow it.
He searched for a tissue
But found none. What an issue!
Finally he chose to Costco it.

*I apologize for the image. Be thankful it wasn’t a photo.

We regret to inform you…

A zombie that lived in a crypt

Read “Men’s Health” and wanted to get ripped,

So he pumped lots of iron

‘Til his cadaver was tirin’.

Too bad Hollywood passed on my script.

Almost

There once was a poet named Jim Rick
Who never could finish a limerick.
He put his mind to it
But every time blew it.

Limerick Apparel

A cop from Detroit had a tazer

That he hid underneath his blazer.

He was good in a fight

Until one dark night

When he was killed by a guy with a laser.

 

There once was a man from Currant

Who gave trousers as gifts to his Aunt.

The pants tore in half,

And he ran like a calf,

But in the end he gave only one pant.

 

There once was a lady from Maying

Who wore yoga pants that were fraying.

To me it did behoove

That I saw the lips move

But I couldn’t hear what they were saying.
