Untidy Bowl

On top of my fave, Cheerios
Bananas I slice and compose
A breakfast so sweet
I can't wait to eat
Sometimes I get milk on my nose

Conspirasleaze Leery

Some say Man was not on the Moon
and Oswald was pawn, a mob goon
That famous demises
all must involve spieses
and Elvis still croons the odd tune

Let George Do It

Comedian and social critic
George Carlin gave stand-up a new shtick
Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce
Helped Carlin turn loose
And pave way for new breed of comic

Raw Deal Breaker

Escaping from stir, on the run
a guy's got two gals and a gun
His sick pyro boss
pulled slick double-cross
and still isn't done having fun

The guy on the lam is no punk
In fact he's a good-looking hunk
He's Dennis O'Keefe
and he's got a beef:
To get Raymond Burr, the fat skunk!

See, Burr has a thing for flambés
The ladies he likes, but to braise
This hood gets his kicks
with lighter he flicks
and setting his victims ablaze

Raw Deal is one of the tough film noirs that Anthony Mann directed in the late 40s, shot by the great John Alton.

Lit Nit Wit

I memorize books, for Pete's Sake
Recite, I can, "Finnegan's Wake"
"Ulysses" and "Dune"
And "Darkness at Noon"
And what Zarathustra did spake!

Limerick Of The Day Stood Still

Can't think of a thing, out of time
I'm reaching, "My kingdom for...rhyme"
Misquoting the bard
I should be struck hard
To sully him so is a crime

Tattoo Much

Once sailors were inked drunk on booze

And circus gals bore pay-per-views

Now grannies to brats

Get covered in ‘tats’

Unmarred virgin flesh now is news

Mala Noche

A cold clammy sweat down your back
The pain feels like you're on the rack
Did God punish you
With new stomach flu?
Or was it that last deep-fried snack?

Swan Song

From gang he had just double-dealed
For mercy the stoolie appealed
Though he kneeled and he cried
All his pleas were denied
He'd cut his own throat when he squealed

Lowering the Bar

Moe Syzlak is Springfield's barkeep
He's bitter, resentful and cheap
His dream, most depraved
To keep Marge enslaved
Reveals him as stoop-shouldered creep

Rhyme Crime

Chief Wiggum, fat arm of the law
On donuts from Lard Lad would gnaw
Raised Ralphie, his child
As if in the wild
Suggesting parental faux paw

Teacher's Petting

Though homework he’d always forget
Bart Simpson’s not failed English yet
Since he caught Mr. Skinner
Eat Crabapple for dinner
About grammer he ain’t got to fret

Old Flame Burns

For money Montgomery burned
Craved more, though a fortune he’d earned
But Smithers discounted
The sums he’d amounted
For three little age spots he yearned
