There was a young man from Nantucket
He carried his food in a bucket
As he sat down to eat
Picked up Coke as a treat
And through a straw he would suck it

[Mohawksin]

There once was a girl from Anheiser
Who said no man could surprise her
Then a young man named Gibbons
Undid her blue ribbons
And now she is sadder, but wiser

[Scorpyo]

There was a nice fella named Ray
He woke up with a desire each day
He’d give his wife a nudge
But his wife she wouldn’t budge
Would she make the coffee, no way

Wrote this this morning

[dougawhite]

Election Day is finally here,
Can't decide so I'm shedding a tear,
One is so dumb,
But the other's a bum,
Maybe I'll just have a beer.

[dennisgavin]

roses are red
violets are blue
I'm sick of covid
How about you?

[Joe C.]

There once was a man named Magruder
Who saw a young nude and he wooed her.
The nude thought it rude
to be wooed in the nude,
But Magruder was shrewder,
and screwed her.

There was a young lady from Lynn
who was so excessively thin;
that whenever she tried
to drink lemonide
she slipped thru the straw and fell in.

Most likely, animals and even birds, DO know when they are dying. They can feel pain. Humans are less aware of animal pain. Elephants stay for days and mourn the death of one of their herd.

Gasp, I remember the wise old owl! I also remember

Abu Ben Adhem
Written by James Henry Leigh Hunt.

Abu Ben Adam (may his tribe increase)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace

And saw, within the moonlight of his room
Making it rich, like a lily in bloom

An angel writing in a book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Abu Ben Adam bold

And to the presence in his room he said
'What writest thou?' The vision raised its head

And with a look of all sweet accord
Answered: 'The names of those who love the Lord

'And is mine one?' said Abu. 'Nay not so'
Replied the Angel. Abu spoke more low

But cheerily still and said 'I pray thee then
Write me as one that loves his fellow-men'

The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
It came again with awaking light

And showed the names of whom love of God had blessed.
And lo! Ben Adam's name led all the rest

[BarryD]

And then Burgess wrote:

Ah, yes, I wrote the "Purple Cow"
I'm sorry now I wrote it
But I can tell you anyhow
I'll kill you if you quote it.

[pirwin]

Let’s hold our nose, go to the polls,
Throw our dice, and see how they rolls.
There’s one thing I knows. That is this.
Outcomes only yield transient bliss.

I know another one about a man from a Nantucket, but I would get into trouble if I posted it.

she should have studied math wisely for she would have known the following einstein equation.
The angle of the dangle =
the heat of the meat times
the mass of the ass
