Hark Ye

-
-
Odysseus was Greek, on that you can mark me,
When he was out plowing the wine-dark sea,
He yelled "Uncle Remus,"
To Polyphemus,
And revealed his own name with a "hark ye!"

Invention

-

-
A special motor was his sixteenth invention,
The income went well with his pending pension,
Each time it would wiggle,
The motor would giggle,
Every good story has a happy engine.

Sleep

-

-
Now I lay me down to sleep,
On my motorbike 'cause it's so cheap,
I hide in the alley,
Near goofy Sally,
The cops think I 'm a creep.

Gurney

-

-
He took a quick trip on a gurney,
With his stomach all stormy and churney,
Because it was trendy,
He sought to sue Wendy,
But he couldn't afford an attorney.

Bimbo

-

-
A man who was standing akimbo,
At the side of a well-known bimbo,
In an event most frightening,
Was fricasseed by lightning,
And ushered thereby into limbo.

Forge

-
A gent by the name of George,
Who worked day and night at the forge,
Ate four slabs of ham,
And a brisket of lamb,
Which badly upset George's gorge.

Fleas

-
Worms, bees, ticks, fleas,
All of them can make you wheeze,
If they don't,
Or if they won't,
In any case you'll surely sneeze.

Caddy

A person called Panama Hattie,
Enjoyed playing golf with a caddy,
She shot from a saddle,
With a ping-pong paddle,
She was most certifiably batty.

Had started a virtual pandemic,
She was ever so manic,
Which engendered a panic,
With her frantic religious polemic

Rocky

Watching the movie, Rocky,
Made one fella feel cocky,
He set out one night,
To look for a fight,
He could skate but he couldn't play hockey.

Gutter

-
A man rose up from the gutter,
All fitful, a-tizzy, a-flutter,
The dirt would not cease,
He was covered with grease,
But he said 'twas the very best butter.

Five oysters, six eggs and a date,
He tried to eat more,
But dropped to the floor.
Considering he was utterly farctate*.

A man had a lesion most squamous,
He went to see the Obamas,
They found him meritorious,
He was cured and feeling glorious,
He said, why I'm almost famous.
