Two Limericks (One is about a mime)
A request for a poem about a mime in pain.
If only the crowd were receptive
the mime could have been more selective
His set piece bereft
and no options left
he summoned a pooch quite aggressive.
And a limerick about first contact.
First contact with aliens was grand
Our leader took theirs by the hand.
It mentioned a pain
at the base of its brain
and so we gave it ibuprofen but the levorotatory nature destroyed its nervous system and started a decade long war that desolated the Earth.
A Trilogy of Tree Haikus
How To Be a Tree
How to be a tree
Raise well your productive leaves
then sever food source
Tree Man
Now be a tree man
cover yourself in rough bark
and ambush people
Man Tree
Then be a man tree
who cannot enter his house
branches can’t turn knobs
A Poem of Dragons and Gnomes
weary wyverns wept
captor’s cookery they kept
musty mushroom mush“no more gnomish gnocchi
flush with funky fungus”
dangerous dragons demanded“grant us great gallons
and oodles of oozing
meat meat meat”rapidly arrived a raucous reply
“perforation of precious parts
come to curmudgeonly crocodiles
who haven’t inhaled ooms of mush”
A Poem of Unicorns
dream of unicorns
and rivers
and the great unicorn migration upriver
and the great unicorn spawning
where bears eat lotsa unicorns
and then all the unicorns die and feed the land
with their magical unicorn flesh
it’s not sad it’s part of the cycle
It’s National Poetry Month.
