Obliqua Eureka!
I once heard
Don't think me absurd
That Archimedes
Was once propositioned
When he was offered
In any position
A screw
Apparently
It was not only his water levels
That rose on that day
With much of a todo!

Bamoon!
There once was an old man
of the moon
Who behaved as a bit
of a loon
One day
when full
He'd give a
werewolf call
But sounded more like
a baboon!

Oxymoronic
One dark night on a bright, sunny day,
just before Christmas in the month of May,
I decided to plan a spontaneous trip
and crossed through the desert on a sailing ship.
As we sailed along, the waves grew small;
it seemed we had entered a peaceful squall.
The view from the ship was awfully good
but I didn't enjoy the inedible food.
Soon, I came to a rural city;
its many buildings were terribly pretty.
My ship was greeted by a very small crowd;
They waved politely as I stood tall and bowed.
Although I'd had so much serious...

hello, hillbillies
hello, hillbillies!
hellhole hobbies:
hobos hobble,
hogs goggle,
geese gobble,
globes glob,
gobs gibe.
oboe solos ooze goos,
solo oboes lose shoes.
obese bees see sieges;
seize silos,
sigh sighs,
hie highs,
lie lies.
legible legs
lob lollies,
log goggles,
hog hollies.
isles slosh soil.
gosh - oil!
sillies sell lilies,
shell eggshells,
gel lobbies.
big bozos bob,
belles boogie - bosh!
eligible elegies ebb,
glib...

alien game
dangerous company;
cadaver explosion.
hide down low.
rotten ruin, despise us.
stop chaos; burn anguish instead.
can a hostile world
assume knowledge;
promise more?
delight is our treasure box
or wish to attain
elaborate power revolt.
high chemical charge,
evolve heat.
require art.
go robustly;
apply influence;
forge spirit today.

Triple Twenty
No-one knew
Or possibly didn't care
Or wonder
Why this particular dragonfly
Had no tail, or much body
And that's why
It had no control
On how it could fly
Oft seen
Crashing into trees, hedges,
And other dragonflies
Who often mistook this dragonfly
As a helicopter seed
As it crashed chaotically to the ground
This was not good for the dragonflies' morale
He soon took to wearing
A false torso
Which kind of gave him better balance
And in time
Was able to fly again
Although he came to a tragic end ...

DEER
He was walking ever so
carefully down the winding
road
The most alluring of milky scents
wafted through the crisp
air
A blue roaring beast slowed
to a full stop with light brighter than
day
Now he could only smell
the rough choke of
diesel
He didn't even bother to
leap away as he was
disappointed
There was no collision and
he'd rather die than lose scent of
rose-milk
carefully down the winding
road
The most alluring of milky scents
wafted through the crisp
air
A blue roaring beast slowed
to a full stop with light brighter than
day
Now he could only smell
the rough choke of
diesel
He didn't even bother to
leap away as he was
disappointed
There was no collision and

A Fishy Limerick
There once was a lady of
Hastings
Who was busy with her much time
wastings
When lost down a
twitten
She was immediately
smitten
With her fish, and chip supper
and mushy pea tastings

The Medium Sized Spoon
Spoons come in all shapes and sizes
But you’ll never guess which size mine is
We looked for medium but they were rare
You might think that we don’t care
How mistaken you may be
We label ours A.. B.. C
It seems that only you have two
What can we say, shame on you
If you would like to rearrange your drawer
Pay a visit to the nearest store
There’s local places, there aplenty
5.. 10.. 15.. maybe 20
Ripon, Richmond, there are more
Or await Spoon Salesmen at your door
~ Yorkshire Medium Sized...

Losing my marbles
I’m trapped inside the ceiling
I’m trapped inside the wall
I’m trapped inside the windows
I’m trapped inside the floor
Can you hear me screaming?
Can you hear my moan?
I’m crying out for assistance
But no-one hears my call!
I’m trapped inside the mirror
I’m trapped inside the hall
I’m trapped inside the table
I’m trapped inside the door
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I am
I have lost all of my marbles
Then found them all again!
I’m trapped inside the wall
I’m trapped inside the windows
I’m trapped inside the floor
Can you hear me screaming?
Can you hear my moan?
I’m crying out for assistance
But no-one hears my call!
I’m trapped inside the mirror
I’m trapped inside the hall
I’m trapped inside the table
I’m trapped inside the door
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I am
I have lost all of my marbles
Then found them all again!

The Tri-Eyed Tribe
In a small wood Far, far, away
In an undiscovered part
Of this big wide world
Lived a very strange race of people
Their average height was only two foot six inches
Which is rather short But not strange
They spoke by making curious clicking noises
Maybe unusual But again, not strange
They were strict vegans
The idea of eating meat of any kind
They found totally repugnant
Yet again, nothing strange in that
What was strange
Was that they all possessed a third eye
Two of which Were exactly in the place
You'd...
