A Child’s Lie

There once was a boy named James,

who screamed "I'm not to blame!

"Four men and a snake

"ate the last of the cake."

But frosting on his chin displayed his shame.

A breakfast epiphany

There is a young man who admits

That his smeller is somewhat amiss

At breakfast he frowned

After a swallow he found

His bowl was not oatmeal, but grits

A Few Limericks Regarding The Fortuitous Circumstance Of Discovering That The Tale One’s Been Chasing Is One’s Own.

On Identifying Identity:

There once was a writer of squareness

Who put all her grandeur in rareness.

Her ego was scrapped

And her cheekiness slapped

Off her face by abrupt self awareness.

A Cautionary Tale on Tail-Chasing:

In circles I used to philander;

To whimsy and fancy I'd pander...

But when I caught up

To myself (that sick pup!)

I decided that I couldn't stand her.

Another, Apologetically:

My aplomb is plucky but fleeting;

I keep posting things then deleting...

The truth is my doubt

Packs a mean bit of clout

But it strikes only after completing!

″...you don’t deserve me at my best”

There once was a girl named Sadie

Thought to be a charming lady

"Take me at my worst"

"He should have changed first"

She seems to have trouble dating

Small Town Blues

A town believed that Black lives matter,

Rainbows and pride flags are smattered.

They smile in my face,

what a wonderful place.

But when I ask for help they all scatter.

Missed Hint

This girl I liked was a smoker

She texted me "Come play strip-poker ;)"

I thought for a time,

Then had to decline

I didn't know how to play poker

squatter

There once was a young male squatter

with dreams of becoming a potter

But his dreams lost all sense

As he was short of pence

and he lost his hands in a clobber.

Dan

He had the worst luck in the loo

That nasty tissue always finding his shoe

Such a peculiar man

Was toilet paper walking Dan

Yet he never had a clue

Too Bright

A lady perched at the bar

red purse, red dress, red car

“No” she said

To each turned head

I’m an incognito star

Awake The Rapper

Yet another, this Fourth of July

leaving a nation wondering why.

Gun type and ammo to blame?

One more lost boy seeking fame?

Face tats a mentally disturbed cry?
