Perhaps it’s to exercise jaws
But a naughty porcupine gnaws
On handles of wood,
So salty and good,
But they’d prefer popcorn to saws.

Donut Harvest

A farmer from Farmington sowed
His hectares with freckle of toad.
When asked what would sprout
He hadn’t a doubt
Of harvesting doughnuts à la mode.

Suitors

A spinster from Flint once opined
In her day the suitors were kind.
Though sister was gone,
They didn’t stay long.
An overfull parlor can grind.

Soggy Vegetables

A vegetable sufficiently boiled
And buttered and salted and oiled
Can taste just like meat
Off a parakeet
Or platypus flambéed then broiled.

Flea Circus

A huckster from Huxby displayed
His circus of fleas to any who paid.
A bug on a trapeze
Can soar with such ease
And for wages takes marmalade.

Fairways and Felt

Though cue-***** are glossy and smooth
The felt has been rough since my youth.
Some dimples assist
When fairways resist
But putting on tables is uncouth.

Tenants

In welcome old Fido is barking
But cats are too haughty for marking
If tenants are home,
Or off on a roam.
A shut-in gets cranky and carking.
