Wordsmith
The drunk was said to be
Increasingly merry
Whenever he added to
His vodkabulary

Lots of Buzz, Though
Though the honeycomb film
To me was quite groovy
The critics complained
It was a bee movie

On the Job
Religious holidays all the time
No science holidays lurking
And there is one big reason why
Science is always working

Mixed Message
A conundrum I had
When I was a youth
Saying, “I’m lying in bed”
But telling the truth

It found relief
By using a bit of
Accumulated sick leaf

To drive them
You’ll need a log-in

Par for the Curse
To be dating a golfer
Many have found
Isn’t always easy
Cuz they like to play a round

For Cold Knights
A corduroy condom
That fits like a glove
Provides users with
A groovy kind of love

Sigh in the Saddle
I’d really like to ride a horse
But think that I should mention
It probably won’t happen
Due to the mounting tension

He’ll have to pay
If he commits

Sleepless in the Saddle
I have trouble sleeping
No way to ignore it
When I started a support group
Everyone was up for it

Name Game
If it’s true that people
From Poland are Poles
Does it follow that people
From Holland are Holes?

Just about right

And I'm feeling quite deprived
It’s called “How to Scam People Online”
But it still has not arrived

Math Users
A lot of people heard the buzz

Such versatility
But with reflexes always come
Great response ability

The fat farm has a name I love
Assigned it by its makers
If you are interested in going
Just look up “Belly Acres”

Feathered Fiend
My chicken died and came back as
A spook - it wasn’t nice
But ask yourself, whoever has
A personal poultrygeist?

Foot Where?
The subject of geography
Is one that I despise
For example, I thought Tripoli
Was just a wide shoe size

On the Level
Flat Earthers they are quite unsound
I think most are insane
The only way they get around
Is travel on a plane

Just made a mistake now, dammit
It went and looked Medusa in the eyes
And became a pomegranate

Down to the last detail

Don’t know what to do with themselves
Cuz the brand new book on poltergeists
Is flying off the shelves

Because of his decision
To write in lower case because
He hated capitalism

Conundrum
I admitted to my puzzlement
And made it known to him
With just this simple question
WTF is an acronym?

Blowing In
A cloud found out it couldn’t make
A storm, so it felt very blue
But then made up its mind that it
Would have to just make dew

Classical Dilemma
That Bach musician talked of woe
Hoping it would provoke
A donation of a bit of dough
Because he was baroque

Boogie Man
A snowman in the grocery store
To the carrot section goes
And makes a scene each time because
It’s where he picks his nose

Prose Pros
I went to visit my poet friend
My writing skills to hone
And she told me to sit right down
And make myself a tome

No Sugar, Please
When coffee additives duked it out
The lawsuit was a screamer
Legal experts refer to it
As creamer versus creamer

Because it means that she’s afraid
Of making a mistake

I recommend you conserve it
Because it’s true that none of them
Did anything to deserve it

“Gee” Ometry
He said he wanted to be edgy
And be noticed for all his spangles
I simply had one word for him
“Triangles”

Head Lines
My head is really killing me
It is a horrible feeling
I think it must have been last night’s
Dance upon the ceiling
And the fall

Cuz nobody ever buys her gifts
Since she has everything

My neurologist friend gets on my nerves
And the last time it occurred
I looked at him and said out loud
“Axons speak louder than words”
