Manure

When mishap happens, you cannot reverse its course How can you possibly put the shit back in the horse? Yet every mishap, you can cure You can use horse-shit as manure.

The Dentist

My dentist said I needed to have a tooth pulled out,         anxiously I asked, "is that so?" My dentist smiled, gently putting a hand on my shoulder said,         "sometimes you just have to let go!"

Pomposity

Articulate pomposity Egoistic mendacity Ineffective audacity; Yet humble simplicity With forthright veracity Can bring much felicity.

Hit the Road Jack!

When Jack hit the road He turned to an ugly toad Poor Jack, the ugly toad Will be squished on the road. Jack won't come back no more Unless, just as before A Princess he can seek To kiss him on the cheek; And then surely he'll be back As a hero, as Prince Jack.

Laundry

Why is it that every time my clothes I wash Iron them, treat them well, even brush They get dirty so quickly, in a rush? Why is it way of the world that it must flush Order and cleanliness in just a blush? Chaos and mess must spring up with a gush? And this is so for the coarse and the plush Orderly structures turn into mush And all I can say, oh my gosh, my gosh! Entropy recognizes no boundary My only hope on earth is laundry.

Goose Mark

After the flock of geese had gone through the park You could see everywhere they had left their indiscreet mark. So I was carefully selecting where to put my feet Then I slipped and landed in the muck on my seat Well, this is life, I thought, sometimes you just slip and fall Then you get up, clean yourself, onward to your next call. So I got up and went home, and washed the muck and the grass Now I have a story to tell, about falling on my ass.
