In The Mix


I you loved me we they it 
Can’t you stay for just a bit?

Rabbits run and habits die
Me they loved you we it I.

You loved me we it I they
Then, I fear, you ran away -

Ran somewhere I couldn’t see:
Loved you I it they we me.

It me you we they I loved,
Passion pulled, indifference shoved.

Still, I stay here, strong and true —-
I they loved we it me you.

I Stooped To Use A Metaphor

I stooped to use a metaphor
And kind of scraped my knees;
I should have known the dangers of
Heavy analogies

It figures that figures of speech
Would figure in this tale;
As part of parts of speech is parts
That can be rather frail

And so, unwary and confused.
I tried things to compare:
I stooped to use a metaphor,
But should have stopped
Right there

Consternation

 

I’m consterned, I’m very consterned,
I’m filled with consternation;
Consterning how all things have turned
In this here conster-Nation

I am flummoxed and nonplussed,
I’m filled up with non-plussing;
As far as dis old cuss’s consterned?
It all ain’t worth discussing

Let’s Say Ta —

Calamata
Let’s say ta —

To Minolta

And to Sparta

Let’s say ta —

To calamata

And some hot pancetta

And to a cold Fanta

Let’s say ta —

To a good fermata

To operetta

To a beautiful arietta

Or a wonderfully structure sonata

Maybe we won’t say ta —

To quota

Or capita

Or strata

But I would say ta —

To some ricotta

To a hot fajita

Or a real Greek pita

 

Am I Using These Right?

I work for bear
I had a problem with battles between my various teaching staffs
So, to solve this problem
All my faculties were brought to bear

I went to plow a field
It had a giant, immovable clock in it
I needed to plow, so
I worked around the clock

My horse was injured and in the veterinary hospital
They said he was well enough to come home, so I would say
He’s in stable condition

I was attacked for posting these idiotic puns
A blogger with a knife sliced me several times
Carved my initials on the top of my forehead
So now my name is
A cut above the rest
