Gandy Dancer

-
The guy was only a gandy dancer,
He never would try to sort out the answer,
When called to account,
About some amount,
He would eat an avoidance enhancer.

A gentleman from West Enchilada,
Went out for a ride on his Yamaha,,
It revved up so loud,
That it drew a fine crowd,
Soon he'd stirred up a big brouhaha.

A woman with an oversized rictus,
Had set out to win, she tricked us,
She put on a scam,
To sell us a ham,
Oh, bubble-gum!, she really nicked us.

-
A gent quarrying mica and schist,
Invariably twisted his wrist,
He jumped and he bellowed,
But could not be mellowed,
Until he was fondled and kissed.

A dog that was doubtlessly feral,
Advanced upon Beryl and Meryl,

And Meryl malicious,
The dog was in desperate peril.

He gave one to each a persimmon,

Sitter

-
A young girl who worked as a sitter,
Yearned for the big-city glitter,
She packed top to bottom,
And hied off to Gotham,
Where she found herself knee deep in litter.

A man confounded by Twitter,
Was upset and all in a dither,
He drank a cold beer,
And fell on one ear,
Decided to be a big quitter.

Funnel

She supervised the English Chunnel,
Then ran away to the Amazon jungle,
She caught a disease,
Which was carried by fleas,
And must dose her eyes through a funnel.
