Greeks thought onomatopoeia
Sounded like a great idea
Causing pedagogues to yell it
Until it came time to spell it
light verse and much, much worse

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.

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?

The rainbow is God’s promise
Not to end all life again
A sign that all He wants is
For mankind to be His friend.
Forgiving past transgressions,
God protects Man as he goes
And so, we’re right to question:
What’s the deal with volcanoes?

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

The hunch that Evolution sold
Extolling those who break the mold:
Life’s go-getters, the versatile,
Does not include the crocodile.
Throughout its 80 million years
As each Age comes, then disappears
Left standing in the starting blocks
The croc has yet to change its socks.
Quite unconcerned with each debut
Of nature’s latest ingénue
These veterans forgo the pomp
Preferring life inside a swamp.
Perhaps, the way to win the race
Is holding at a steady pace.
The croc has this down to an art
And 80 million years’ head start.

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

To many an anemone
The fear is any Yemeni
Who ofttimes like an enemy
Sauteed and slightly lemony
