Phobias
Peter B Aug 2014
They're all kinds of Phobias out there
It's here it's there it's everywhere
Some look around and feel they're being chased
But as it turns out, just isn't the case
Some are afraid of heights
So stay away from airplane flights
Some are afraid of the dark
So don't get caught in "Central Park"
Some are afraid of the number thirteen
So don't get caught in-between
Some have a fear of dying
So there's no use in crying
Some have a fear of cats
Or ***** old rats
Time to break out the baseball bats!
This one had 36 reviews and 2 ribbons on another site plus a banner!
88 views so it was popular 15 lines of rhyme and you can't cover every Phobia so this would need seqels as well!

Phobias 2
Peter B Oct 2014
We covered a few Phobias in part one
But some people even fear the sun
But we will have more fun
Some people fear Spiders and Snakes
What about broken brakes?
Oh! for heaven sakes!

Some people fear ladders
Why does it matter?
Some people have all kinds of fears
Lions, Tigers and Bears

And some people fear all kinds of bugs
So don't go sweeping them under the rugs!
From roaches, ants and bees
That fear can take them to their knees!

Some people fear rodents
Like mice, rats, and flying bats
Or how about all kinds of lizards
Beat them up and take out their gizzards

You have to beat up your fears by facing them down
Or all around

And some people even fear Clowns
And I don't see why?
They make you happy
Some people even fear being a pappy

Some people fear enclosed spaces
And how about evil faces?
But there you have more fears from me
And there's more out there to be
Just stay tuned for part three!
Phobias part 1 covered a few and this one covered a little more, but there are a lot of fears out there and to rhyme them is harder! Happy Halloween! Enjoy it!

Peter B Oct 2014
The "Wonderful"waterfall"spills"upon the "wet" rocks

Soulful eyes "glistening"remined me of the "sea" upon the "rocks!"
This was a contest prompt on another site to fill in words in the empty spaces and it had to be 3 lines from a 12 line poem so I chose 1st 3 lines!

The Mailbox Lady
Peter B Aug 2014
I have to tell you about a nieghbour of mine
If you listen and have the time
I simply call her the Mailbox Lady
and I'm pretty sure her names not "Sadie"

But she clicks her malbox all day long
I wish someone would make this a song
She never gets any mail,but she clicks it 7 days a week
All day long, just to take a peek

Every 3 minutes,just in time
What? You didn't think I could make this rhyme?
Even when the mailman's come and gone
She still clicks it! I'M SO FORLORN!!

Even on Sunday! It's so much fun!
Well good people, I really have to run!
Tell a story in a poem
and just finished a sequel to this one to share as well!
Also the Boss at Christmas deserves a sequel because he now runs a church festival and his staff doesn't know the difference between a platter and a plate can't you feel the rhyme?

Mailbox Lady part 2
Peter B Aug 2014
There's no other equal
To this sequel
Of the Mailbox Lady
We will call "Shady"

She comes outside
Looking for her ride
Every minute
We have to grin it
She wears her coat
We have to gloat
It's ninety degree weather
her names not "Heather"
It gives me a chill
Or just a funny thrill
Her shades go up and down
Or all around
All day long
Where's my silly song?
Is she crazy?
Or just hazy?
She runs inside
Just to hide
Here's her ride
Oops, she went inside again
And clicked her mailbox, the end!
Make a sequel to something already posted still tells a story poem and 26 lines part one had 14 lines.
Peter B Aug 2014
The boss at christmas is named John
He runs a church festival on the church lawn
His staff doesn't know the difference
What? They ******* refference?
Between a platter and a plate
And I don't know what the hell I ate?
One Shishkabob and rice
Ain't that nice
Humus was so gross
From your heads to your toes
Taboule is suppose to be some kind of salad
Won't someone make this into a ballad?
Overpricing
and that's the icing!
Belly dancing
And people prancing
A band and A DJ
and that's okay!
What else more can I say?
After all these years he's still cheap
Leave a message after the beep!
The Boss at Christmas was written in the 80's and made American Poetry Anthology book in 1984 Fall/Winter vol 3 book 3+4 page 412 About a cheap boss that didn't want to buy his wife a present on Christmas now he runs a church festival Are you kidding me So it deserved a sequel many years later lol!

Trick Or Treat At The Zoo
Peter B Oct 2014
There's trick or treat at the zoo
What can you get for me and you?
Animals can make you smile
For a long time or just for awhile
You can see monkey's swing from trees
But don't go catching any of their fleas
As you trick or treat at the zoo
Don't come home with a bag of poo!
There was a news story about trick or treating at the zoo which inspired my funny bone!
And for kids of all ages!

An Evil Glare
Peter B Oct 2014
An evil glance
Left me with no chance
To sing or dance
And put me in a trance

An evil glare
Left me there
An evil stare
Left me with no-one to care
Happy Halloween !

There was a gal named Gail

Who claimed she never fail
But one day she had to hail
That she was in jail
She asked if I could come up with the bail
I said the check is in the mail!

A Gal named Mandy
Peter B Oct 2014
There was a gal named Mandy
Who met a guy named Andy
Who was quite handy
He offered her some candy
Which made her quite randy
On a beach that was quite sandy
Then he had a Jim Dandy!
Someone asked if I could rhyme all these words into story form Mandy, candy, dandy, Andy, sandy, handy,randy, and it comes out like a lymeric type of poem!

The Boss at Christmas
Peter B Aug 2014
they twisted my arm and threatened me dear
I sent this Christmas card just out of fear
so read it with love and read it with cheer
because you won't be getting one next year
This is about my cousin's boss back in the 80's.
He didn't want to get his wife a thing at Christmas and this poem inspired him to buy her a $150 vacuum cleaner to keep her home cleaning he said most wives would probably hit him with it! no relation with other boss poem and this ones famous Poetry anthology 1984 fall winter pg 412 mine and on fan story 53 reviews of 118 2 ribbons and Welcome page over night success no longer with fanstory!

There Was a Little Nurse
Peter B Oct 2014
There was a little Nurse
Who lived in a hearse
When she ran into a witch that made it much worse
The witch cast a spell and a curse
Now she's so small she lives in a purse!
Now that's a little perverse
And that's a first!
Another Halloween one and for kids to enjoy I made a part 2 to this as well!

As I Daydream
Peter B Oct 2014
As I daydream
About a calm stream
You can go fishing
Or keep people wishing
About love
Or a beautiful dove
Rise above
Watch it fly
With your eye
Don't tear up and cry!
Also a contest about day dreams

10 words that rhyme
Peter B Oct 2014
There was a man named "Tad"
He was a very shy "Lad"
He gave it all he "had"
And that was just too" bad"
But at least he wasn't a "cad"
And that would of made him "mad"
So for that it made him "glad"
And at least he can "add"
He missed out on being a "dad"
And that was so "Sad"
Someone challenged me to rhyme these 10 words and make it into a story as well!
