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.
Cotton candy, makeup for the clowns
Don’t eat before a ride
Puking, people should hide

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.
He met her in the frame shop
and what he saw made his jaw drop...
since her frame was the finest of all.

LimerElla
There once was a student named Ella
moving house with a girl and two fellas
They needed a van
so I said “yes I can”
and that started me on this novella
They departed a two storey flat
to move in with a boy and a cat
There were so many stairs
I’m now having nightmares
about falling and going kersplat
You might wonder why I’d be at peace
lugging boxes all day without cease
Though the work was unpaid
I was pleased to give aid
for this Ella is my darling niece
moving house with a girl and two fellas
They needed a van
so I said “yes I can”
and that started me on this novella
They departed a two storey flat
to move in with a boy and a cat
There were so many stairs
I’m now having nightmares
about falling and going kersplat
You might wonder why I’d be at peace
lugging boxes all day without cease
Though the work was unpaid
I was pleased to give aid
for this Ella is my darling niece

Limericks
My physicist father once said
" uranium decays down to lead "
but that " the gleam in his eye
decayed down to..." I?
I think Pa's Ma and Pa weren't wed.
Now, let us be abundantly clear
about black-holes, we must not go near,
they'd suck us right in
smear us very, very, thin
then spew us out of their rears...
There was a black hole out far
who swallowed a neighbouring star,
" hmmm, tasty" it quipped
and licking its lips,
rolled off to the nearest bar.

and I do ..
tell people
you love your wife
and they simply
smile and wink
odd way
of looking at life
and no wonder if
I drink ..

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...

Limericks, Nr.06 — Algorithmic Meat-Machines
There was a young man who considered
just who is this “I” in a dither? —
I’m making decisions
an act of derision
by shrinking my “self” to a slither.

Happy Hour
~
Tim went to the doc with pain in his rear
walked with a limp and was "loaded" with fear
doc hemmed then he hawed
amazed what he saw
stashed deep in Tim's ass were two pints of beer

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
