Water-Loo
There once was a man from some thin' pooh
Who fought in the war of dien bien phu
Once the war was over
He could then discover
That he has been stuck in waterloo
Waterloo. (Battle of Waterloo): the second meaning.

Time To Relax
Poetic Injustice
People tell me i am romantic
Sometimes, i even look pathetic
They just see Jekyll's grace
But, i Hyde the real face
The victims know my serial tactic

A Voice Like Volcano
There once was a woman from Khartoum
Who wanted to sing like Oum Kaltoum
she first tried soprano
it was like volcano
that Oum KAlktoum woke up from her tomb
People tell me i am romantic
Sometimes, i even look pathetic
They just see Jekyll's grace
But, i Hyde the real face
The victims know my serial tactic

A Not So Pleasant Experience
When a carnival comes to town
Cotton candy, makeup for the clowns
Don’t eat before a ride
Puking, people should hide
Always drink plenty of water.

Horny Mother-to-Be
I’m one horny mother-to-be
It’s nothing that I could foresee
Men say that I glow
But all that I know is
My tits are now something to see
It’s nothing that I could foresee
Men say that I glow
But all that I know is
My tits are now something to see

Her Name Happens To Be Lucy Figg
Her name happens to be Lucy Figg
who hopes to land a job in some big
time company somewhere
but they all would not care
because who wants to hire this one pig.

A mathematical interlude in three parts
i - LUCKY FOR SOME
Seventy-seven
divided by eleven:
forty-nine's square root.
ii - A PRIME NUMBER EQUAL TO THE SUM OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE, SMALLER PRIMES
Take a dozen, a trio and quintet;
multiply them to see what you get.
Then add on a seven,
divide by eleven:
a sum of four primes! Got it yet?
iii - VIVIDLY NUMERICAL
Take the numerals V, I and V;
add them up and then take away three.
Next, this number gets squared,
and then quartered (or shared);
the result's...

Placebo affected
If I conversate, then I talk too much
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser

There once was a bull named Mary
He liked his heifers hairy
But all their teats
Were shaved and neat
Which made him rather wary

Shopping in 1988
A chap strolled into Vancouver Mall
for there was the love into which he would fall.
He met her in the frame shop
and what he saw made his jaw drop...
since her frame was the finest of all.
for there was the love into which he would fall.

I just couldn't wait to meet Leo!
I took him along to see Theo.
He gave us a hand
with our rock 'n' roll band—
once a duo, we've now formed a trio!
S-m-sawyer
I arranged to meet one S-m-Sawyer
After he'd finished up with his lawyer.
We'd brought with us brunch,
which then morphed into lunch
as we chatted and ate in the foyer.

Amy
I met lovely Amy online
And we've always got along fine.
She home schools her four -
I'm simply in awe -
I don't think I'd like to teach mine!
Steve
Steve's helpful and friendly- it's true.
In the midst of the hullabaloo,
He'll be playing Just Dance
If you give him a chance,
But directions? Nope, not a clue!
Galen
He leaves heartening words to be read,
Often written when I am in bed.
With whimsy unlimited
(When he's uninhibited),
The author? My dear Galenred!
Mara ...

The young lady from Charlestown
There was a young lady of Charlestown
in love, was always being let down
but down by the harbour
a boy raised her ardour
but is she buying a white wedding gown?
