A Limerick
There was a young man from Warsaw
Who viewed life full of awe
His wife was a harpie,
One day she got narkie
And cut off his head with a saw.,
...........................................................................................................................
Mary had a little lamb
A lobster and some prunes,
A glass of wine, apiece of pie
A plate of mushrooms
She gobbled down a sponge cake
And what else we dont know
but when they carried Mary out
Her face was white as snow

The Frog
A frog came in my house today,
Uninvited, you might say,
He looked around contentedly,
But took no heed of me.
Slightly green with spots of brown,
He jumped around the hall
Up and down, up and down
I tried to shoo him out the door,
But all he did was jump some more.
My dog Scruffy came bounding in
And started barking...what a din.
Old Froggy stood his ground
And stared, unblinking, at the hound
I stooped to pick him off the floor
But with a hop and a jump
He leapt right out the door

Cobwebs
By dawns early morning haze,
In admiration I did gaze,
At work of beauty so profound,
So intricate to astound.
An architectural wonder to behold,
A spiders web...designed so bold,
Assembled quickly with no noise,
A truly wondrous sight.
Suspended by silken threads of steel,
Threads extend like spokes of wheel,
A triangular web between two twigs
A deadly trap for flies to kill.
Covered in dewdrops it did shine,
A silken palace...so divine

Autumn Moon
Oh Autumn moon
Heavenly lantern in an angry sky,
Casts an eyrie shadow
Through black sailed galleons
Upon a leafy covered forest floor.
Oh Autumn moon,
Shining through naked trees,
Branches like tentacles
Sway in a western breeze.
Oh Autumn moon
Light a silver pathway
Upon a heaving sea
Guide my loves ship safely
Home to me, to me, to me
