BAND ON THE RUN
International jewel thieves
In their work are very eager
Some say it’s due to having
A good ring leader

SHOOT THE BIRD
To Michael Jordan for his work
They gave a lovely owl
He was modest and said he didn’t deserve
To get a personal fowl

PER VERSE
Working as a poet
I have to say
It is clear to me
Rhyme doesn’t pay

CONTROL TISSUE
She said my closet’s disorganized
But I had to dissent
It just needs a bit of
Hanger management

STOP THAT THIEF!
Rustling is a crime
Of this you should take note
It’s because of this that
Livestock thieves get my goat

BACKUP PLAN
As a driver’s ed instructor
On a career I'm embarking

ART VS. FASHION
Fashion and art may seem alike
But that thought is most outrageous
Art continually improves with age.  
While fashion only changes

DIVIDED AND CONQUERED
I went and took a giant chance
But now I’m rather sad
It was a calculated risk
But my math was very bad

TRUE LOVE
The trebuchet operator and his wife
Split over a minor thing
They’re back together now
He got over his fling

NO HAIR MAN
I want to get my hair done
Everybody thinks I won’t
It’s cuz I’m bald, but I’ll show them
And get a new hairdon’t

METER IS RUNNING
Ten cents a dance is what it took
Back in grandma’s day
And if he had the change
He’d while the dime away

HEAD OFF COLLISION
I feel that I’ve got
Reason to complain
I was on the right track
But so was the train

MELT DOWN
If rush hour jams occur
I’ve got no bones
When ice cream trucks
Serve traffic cones

OVERDOER
That book hoarder
Did it again
She obviously has problems
With shelf discipline

ENGLISH UNITS
I’m all in favor of metric
With its units all aligned
But I would be unhappy
If you took away my pint

GOTCHA!
I studied hard to become a magician
But now I have depression
Because I failed the big exam
Too many trick questions

RISING TO THE TOP
I have a cold
What an annoyance!
Why does mucus
Have such phlegmboyance?

WIPE OUT
An accident with invisible ink
Was awful for poor Jean
Now she’s at the doctor’s office
Waiting to be seen

BOTTOMS UP
The real estate agent has a place
For a most unusual dweller
It got constructed upside down
And is truly a top cellar

SPENDING LIMIT
It may seem confusing
But wherever you are
Money spent locally
Goes very far

FORSYTHIA
My very good buddy's
A songwriting whiz
He wrote a song, “Forsythia”
Not knowing who Sythia is
