Robinson Bobbins and Robinson BibbensWere bobbing along in a boat.Said Robinson Bobbins to Robinson Bibbens“I’ll bet that you’re glad that we float.”Said Robinson Bibbens to Robinson Bobbins“But Bobbins, my buddy, that’s bunk!”Then Robinson Bibbens pushed Robinson BobbinsAnd Robinson Bobbins was sunk.

The Fire
I’ve come here today to explain to you all that a fire has started. It’s just down the hall. No, I didn’t start it. I don’t know who did. It could’ve been Myrtle, or maybe her kid. Yes, somebody started it, this much we know, but that’s not important. We just have to go. No, […]
I’ve Always Hated Yogurt
I’ve always hated yogurt.I’ve a million reasons why.The way it burns my tongueAnd tastes like poisonberry pie. The thought of weird bacteriaCollecting in my mouth,Is all I need to stop the stuffFrom heading gastrically south. It even sounds disgusting,As I blurt out words like “spurt.”No, all of it is terrible.Won’t even taste a squirt. The […]
Is it Better to Battle or Bitterly Buckle?
Is it better to battle or bitterly buckleWhen faced with an obstinate boy?If they pick a position that’s perfectly polar,Like “Floors are the best place for toys?” They’ll shudder, shake, shriek, shiver, shimmy, and screech,And on one hand you want to attack.But continuing conflict can cause cranky crashing,So maybe just take a step back? Loving […]
More Opera Limericks
Gianni SchicchiThere once was a wealthy old dudeWhose demise got his family unglued.Not because he was dead,No, they all mourned insteadFor his assets. Now, isn’t that rude? RigolettoThere once was a lecherous heel,A Duke, who made all the girls squeal.But it was the last straw When he bedded Gilda,So her dad hired Sparafucil. Madama ButterflyThere […]

The Difference Between Girls and Boys
I’ve learned a few things about girls in my lifeFrom sisters and friends, from my mother and wife,But all of this info can barely hold waterCompared with the stuff that I’ve learned from my daughter. For instance I’ve learned that, when shopping for toys,There isn’t much difference between girls and boys.Sometimes she wants Barbies and […]
Why Are There Crumbs On Me?
Why are there crumbs on me?I didn’t put them there…Graham cracker crumbs you see,On me and in my hair…I’m pretty sureThat the person who did itIs there on the floor.We’ll chat in a minuteAbout where he gotAll the crackers from anyway.Who took them out?They’ve been up high for many days. How was he able…Oh, look […]
If I Never See Another Sunrise
If I never see another sunriseIt will be too soon.I’d much rather stay up lateAnd contemplate the moon.When the sun creeps in my window,Six or seven o’clock,It is less a pleasant thing,And more a nasty shock.Late to bed and late to rise,oh that’s the life for me.Mornings are for sleeping,or for grumbling sleepily.If I could […]
