Tornado Jim Competes with his SisterTornado Jim was an unruly evil F-5.
He barely left anyone alive.
Threw cattle and tractors into the air.
Crushed combines and backhoes; he did not care.
Gloated that he had destroyed more farms than his sis.
She gave him a mean finger and snarled with a hiss.
Next time she destroyed, she vowed to be worse than him.
She was always...

His impatience was keenly showing
Always in sandy land that needed no mowing
He yearned for Iowa where it was snowing...

Made by grandma who loved to bake
Rolled into balls, it bounced fine
We did not like lemon, orange or lime...

Heard his radio sing,”hip hip hooray!”
How this happened I truly cannot say
But he snatched my keys and drove away...

Wet Floor
When walking on a wet floor,
Prints are left up to the door.
For the leopard to follow,
Deep in a line.
A layer of water,
Becomes quite slick.
Pick up a broom,
Becomes a hockey stick.

Can't I just enjoy the win?

How to write a hitFingers so sore from learning the chords,
Getting the rhytme without knowing the words.
It all sounds so good here in my head,
Blood from my fingers turning the fret board red.
But I've got to keep trying, just carry on,
Or the thoughts that inspired me will be lost and all gone.
I've got to decide on the ideal...

If I were a SubmarineIf I were a submarine
I would jump out of the water
Checking to see if other ships
Were doing what they ought-er
Jules Verne would come back
And write lively stories about me
I would be deemed the sheriff
Of the Mediterranean Sea...

Monorhyme for ChildrenGoliath frog jumped out of a mailbox
Chased off a dog, a hog, and a fluffy fox
They straight away ran up to a giant ox
ox was terribly ill with itchy chicken pox
You two are on your own! Yelled the irritated fox
Goliath frog jumped all the way back to that mailbox
What do we do now? The hog...

The very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott HarrisThe very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott Harris
I led a boring life.
The end.
All joking aside, now the epilogue.
As a bookish fellow born January 13th,1959
he attended school and got promoted
as a mediocre student,
who honestly nearly failed every grade
courtesy my nasty, short
and brutish doppelgänger,
who nixed, sabotaged, waylaid
me a little boy blue
(nothing but...

Wrinkled Bed
Why do we make beds?
Every night I get back in.
Slide into sheets cool and thin.
Strech out across the bed,
Tossing and turning,
Even my head.
My bed is so neat and clean,
My Momma makes...

Squirmy the WormA worm gets the idea of oscillation
and just moves—
aimless, dirt-laced, unbothered.
Regenerates its body.
Takes orders from nobody.
So I humbly approached a worm:
“Hey worm, you seem to know a lot about this specific area of town…”
She replied,
“I’m Squirmy the Wormy.
And everything you’ve lost—
was hidden inside.”
The rain poured.
She turned.
Kept oscillating.
I shouted,
“Wait! Where are you going?”
She stopped.
Did a 180°...
