mostly for the sake of the rhyme

Poetic Justice

poetic justice
was when agustus
made the decision
that he would imprison
all poets

the consulting chief justice
informed agustus
that to go for broke
he must revoke
poetic license

The Koala

in the land of hinter
where it's always winter
there lived a 'polar koala bear'
though he was fair dinkum
feared the weather would sink'm
he was none the worse for the wear

worse for the 'wear'?
that's funny, i swear!
for the koala residing in hinter
was only a koala
but a tricky ol' fella
what he'd 'wear' was a white coat during winter

but the coat was indeed polar
from a white bear he stole'er
with a slug of lead and voila!
now, polar bears, like elephants
keep note of such ill events
now the brother of the white coat wears koala!

a few limericks

The Limericist

a poet named robby who wrote limericks
bared his whole heart in rhyming rhetorics
     but the critics, et cetra
     made sure he'd get extra
bad marks for indulging in polemerics

The Un-Limerick

a young poet from county limerick
was tired of labouring through thin or thick
     to make them all rhyme
     in 8-8-5-5-8 time
so ... one day, he said to himself, I just won't do that any more

French

A lass named Polly McKenzie
Took French, because it was trendy
     When asked to romance
     a gentleman from France
she went into a parles vous frenzie

Parisian life he offered, she took it,
but now, she's a pity to look at
     'cause dear Polly, poor wench
     all she'd learned of her French
was 'silver plate' and 'mercy bucket'
