light verse and much, much worse
Prince Charming’s parents, late in life
Still hoped their son would find a wife
When Cinderella then became big news.
Alas! Their hopes were dashed again
When he and all his bachelor friends
Had merely wondered where she bought her shoes.
“Thank you for calling the Bite Me Dental Clinic. How may I help you?”
“Could I make an appointment to see a dentist tomorrow?”
“Tooth hurty?”
“Hmm… anything earlier?”
Greeks thought onomatopoeia
Sounded like a great idea
Causing pedagogues to yell it
Until it came time to spell it
A woman scorned… all men are warned,
Is of the gravest matter.
As is the task, if she should ask:
Does this make me look fatter?
A rhyme for orange
The poet battles somewhat.
Hopes fade, or hinge,
When next faced with a kumquat.
To see why we wear belts with pants
Just trail behind some elephants
Hey, Barbie… are you real?
And do you ever give a thought
To why, with such appeal
It’s rumoured all your friends are bought?
My origami friend once told
She’s well-known as a centerfold
And has no current plans for ceasing
While her bottom line’s in creasing
Convinced my friend was now a mime
Marcel did not deny it
More so, he has been for some time
I thought: you’ve kept that quiet!
Pinocchio, despite his lies,
Still hoped he’d find a match
Then soon learned women don’t date guys
Who come with strings attached
