Premium Member Girl From Nantucket
I once knew a girl from Nantucket 
Who chased down a goose, just to pluck it
As she ran, took a spill
So he gave her a quill
And I guess we all know, where he stuck it


Just not clean enough for contests---lol...

Premium Member A Girl Fom Nantucket
There once was a young girl from Nantucket
Who's charms overflowed by the bucket
If you ever saw her nude
You'd try not to be rude
But you'd try to cover up your large nugget



You were expecting something else perhaps!!!

There once was a man from Natucket
who carried his brains in a bucket.
His container capsized 
and he cried in surprise,
now what was I thinking? Oh furk it!...

Nantucket
There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who carried his milk in a bucket,
When it sloshed on the street,
You could hear him repeat,
"I should get a straw and go suck it."...

He carries his harp in a bucket
When I asked him why
He gave this reply,

Nantucket Nursery Rhymes
gardening back the perennial shade, 
  no time or reason to follow these
  months into their graves.

   wandering whale songs through a nantucket
  wheather vain storm in the plow and bury
  the fishnet parable.

A Girl From Nantucket
There once was a girl from Nantucket
Who entered a horse stall to muck it
But the horse had passed 
And there was only an ass
So she didn’t need quite so much bucket...

Along the Nantucket
""Such are these days floating along the Nantucket - picture frames of days gone 
by forever sublime in my minds eye - reflected upon from time to time, and oh so you 
know how I've lived to breathe this - truly what an-honor, this sweet...

Premium Member Man From Nantucket - Redux
He’s much older, the man from Nantucket
can too easily fold, roll, or tuck it
his hearing has faded
his memory jaded
don’t remind him of where he once stuck it

Premium Member Nantucket 1942
I am running the Sconset bluff path.
I go past darkened houses,
black out curtains hanging,
past Linda Thomas and Jolene Baer
who are chasing rabbits into the privet hedges.
Their fathers call out to them-
“Careful girls!”-
drinks sloshing, ice tinkling
as I go by invisible,
yet sensed.
A summer later,
I will be gone.
Starched,...

Premium Member A Lady From Nantucket
Knew this lady from Pawtucket
Her job was to carry a bucket
Back from the well
Twas heavy as hell
She finally told her boss “take a hike”

Donald Trumpet In Nantucket
Donald Trumpet in Nantucket

Had gone on new trip to Nantucket 
And his name was Donald Trumpet; 
Had no appeal; 
Blew each deal;
His brains were spilled in a bucket.

Premium Member Sarah
staring at a stereo
in the Serengeti
Sarah getting stir crazy
gotta get out of this ghetto
Sarah saw a
chance and took it
sailed on a sailboat
slowly to Nantucket
thanks wholly
to her Nan’s ticket
nice of her and now
Sarah seems brighter
somewhat better
as she wrote neatly
in her Nan’s letter
