Travel


Oh Travel,
How I miss your planes.

Oh Travel,
How I miss your foreign exchange.

Pickpockets in Rome,
or a glimmering Shanghai dome.

A motorcruise replete with booze,
then the sands of Antigua, and a snooze.

Oh Travel,
How my pennies do await thee.

Oh Travel,
How I long for your convenience fee.

Big Toe


Big Toe
There you go
Getting stubbed
again.

Are you broke
little bloke?
For the doctor
shall I send?

Black and blue,
now your hue.
Ice shall surely
mend!

For, in the end,
your slight bend,
keeps me upright,
my dear friend.

Baseball Field


The field is empty.

The players gone.

The sun is down.
The lights still on.

Tomorrow comes.
Again they'll play.

As I watch,
passes another day.

Off He Goes


It nibbles the
bait.

Taut goes the
line.

Then a sharp
snap!

This trout, another
time.

Sleep at 10


If I go to sleep
at 10
And never wake again
Well then -

Shall I dream of aero planes
And candy canes
Shall I float past hamlets
And hillsides
Or shall I sing and hum
And drink more rum
If I go to sleep
At 10
And never wake again?

Well then...
Regrets, I shall have none.

It Stung Me

It stung me.
Ouch.

It stung me again!
Grouch!

I didn't swat
its nest.

It simply landed
on my chest.

The lifeguard said
not to worry.

The ambulance will
surely hurry.

It stung me once.
Ouch.

It stung me twice!
Grouch!
