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...

Sagebrush SamSagebrush Sam was tired of blowing
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...

SeasickThese high waters are worse than choppy
Scary roller coasters they copy
Our vessel tossed like a sailboat
We can barely stay above or afloat
This storm is the worst I’ve ever seen
It makes my stomach feel green
I am too ill to primp or preen
Tossed and turned like a kidney bean...

stranger dangerIn the water hole by Littleton’s Cave
There sits a rascal, a snarly knave
You can go down there if you are brave
But it might mean an early grave
He is a stranger, after all
He who lingers by that waterfall
Strangers are scary is what we teach
Stay slightly out of this weirdo’s reach...

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...

True FriendsIn the quiet corners of the heart,
Where shadows linger, where dreams start,
True friends dwell, a constant flame,
A bond unspoken, yet never tame.
They hold you steady when winds are strong,
A melody played when the world feels wrong.
Through darkest days or skies of blue,
They walk beside, always true.
Not bound by time, nor by the years,
They wipe your...

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...

Mouse Turds in the KitchenMouse turds in the kitchen
In the soup and on the pie
Mouse turds in my kitchen sink
I truly want to cry
Mouse turds on my sandwich
Boy that mouse is fast!
Mouse turd trail along the floor
Now the die is cast...

Piggy Bank
My piggy bank gets fed,
At least once a week.
I do what my Momma said.
I push the coins in the top of his head.
Momma said, " You should feed your piggy every day!
