A giddy gadfly with green apple eyes
Dallies gladly with guileless guys
One might call her a flirt
But she'd never desert
Her husband and family ties
Sweet flirtation is filling . . . more

Did you see the young lad named Benny
Scoop from the street, errant pennies?
He then placed them in jars
And ran laughing, afar,
To banks where they now grow aplenty!

Poor dear ol’ Fred, got shot in the head,
Surprised, woke in bed, sweaty with dread,
‘Til one moment he heard
Aunt Martha’s loud, wailed words--
He’d been laid in a casket, . . . more

The jay swooped down, loudly squawking,
The squirrel raced off, hardly balking--
To the nest was the goal,
The nut dropped in the hole,
The exploit well marked by proud barking.

‘Tis a fine afternoon, early spring,
When high-colored buds yawn and bring
Bees newly freed,
To buzz through the trees,
Next, petals that rain, wafting wings.

Burger Basket
To dine I went to a restaurant
Waitress asked me "you know whatcha want?"
A burger; well done
On a sesamae bun
Or the cook could just use a croissant

The Wizard DragonSoul
The one whom no one can control
Whose wisdom he gains from a scroll
You may think him tragic
He wields mighty magick

Outlawed by In-laws
Their kitty has not been de-clawed
From her scratches, my face is now flawed
Their cat’s out of the bag
That feline scalawag
By my in-laws I have been outlawed! . . . more

For their actions and morals are strong
So always be true
To the red, white, and blue
And return them to where they belong

UNHAPPY WITH HIS PARADISE LOST
PARADISE REGAINED HE AT A COST
POOR MILTON PAID WITH HIS SIGHT !

Two word challenge: Eschew Obfuscation
From this task I need a vacation
These words hardly used
And now I’m confused
So I’m done with this utter frustration . . . more

Your bravery has risen the bar
Your safe return home
From wherever you roam
For this, we wish on a star

Armed with an axe an' crossbow
