I can't get poems out of my head. A Beer for the Shower didn't help with the terrific blog they did on poetry. So here is my latest effort based on my links page.
All you really need if you're stinky and out of power
is a lesson on "how to" at A Beer for the Shower
A Hippo on the Lawn will tell you a story
of real true things or a pirate's glory
Adrian makes pictures that's a sight to see
you'll exclaim with wonder and awe and glee
It's books and movies and words all about
where Alex J. Cavanaugh talks and hangs out
I'm not really sure where Carol in Cairns
got the name of her blog, I'll be darns
(sorry I wanted to be sure and make A Beer for the Shower's crappy poets list)
Death, despair and biscuits is Waffle's stock in trade
but laugh you will 'cause it's merely a charade
a religion or philosophy called Brutalism
I dunno Brute, I'll just call it a schism
Demob happy teacher is from North Wales
and documents her life from whence she hails
Dirt Therapy will show you pictures of roses and such
And tell how to grow them, if you want to work that much
Rightly so, Madame Weebles is proud of herself
and she'll tell you so beginning with the letter F
Most of year he's surrounded by ice
but Genial Misanthrope is warm and he's nice
L A Coch-ran has a witty satiric edge
into her bloggery she's managed this wedge
A letter from Joshua makes you think he could
be a nerd but nah, he's just misunderstood
Life by chocolate is Robyn's creed
definitely one, most of us can heed
Cro Magnon I hear, you've been buckle swashing
'a wasting time when veggies need washing
My Word 1 is where ZACL talks
about the things when she takes walks
The queen of satire is Pickleope
all subjects are within her scope
Point Counter-Point Point Point, oh dear
to rhyme with this causes fear, fear, fear
Mighty Rassles, my brain is fried
it's shorted out, it's been electrified
Sarcastic ninja, Art Review Fun Time
snarky words, no need to rhyme
StrangePegs, I don't get that name
It's sense you make, just the same
The Crow is flying in a cloudy sky
but her words are clear as she passes by
Gorilla Bananas is his name
but the japing ape is his game
Such a good thing Molly Bawn can write
makes us feel good and bring new insight
At the Owl Wood Ian must keep his teapot brewing
new words and thoughts, 'cause ordinary he's eschewing
This one was really hard Daisy Fae
a Trailer Park Refugee, I lost my way
troutbirder is a favorite of nature and man
all he touches is blessed by his hand
There's a lot of stuff under the Tiki Hut
of this I can assure you, there's never a nut
Yorkshire Pudding is wonderful in many ways
his wit and kindness and intelligence have been mainstays

How do you do this type of writing?? I totally lack the knack (or gene, or whatever). Very clever, David.
I fear the two adjectives you used to describe me have rarely been used when I'm the subject.
Thanks Mike. I don't know how, I could always do this stuff but didn't realize anybody liked it until that tweety thing.
The adjectives I used describing you is the impression I've got...and I still think I'm right. :)
This is great, fun, poetry. I love how you incorporated so many of us. Thanks for including me, David. You will never make A Beer for the Shower's lousy poets list, I'm afraid.
Have a great weekend.

Thank you Robyn! I haven't read any of your poetry yet but I know you've published so what you said means a lot. Funny poems like funny prose is the hardest for me to write. I don't know if I made it with the Cairns lines and reference to A Beer for the Shower's lousy poets but I tried.
Hope you have a good weekend too!
Thanks for the include in your list Mr Oliver. Looks like you have got the poetry bug.
I have and not sure like other bugs how long this one will last. Hopefully it will go away before my readers get sick of it.
Hope you don't mind me using Cairns for my funny line. My first thought was nothing rhymes with Cairns so I won't put it at the end of the line. Then Cairns and darns just struck me as funny.
Hope they got your railroad fixed so you won't run out of sugar.
Still Swashle Bucking. Hey ho!
Cro, I have searched the internet fruitlessly for a captain swashbuckling poem. I owe you one. Will work on that.
I always try to pay my debts...
For Captain Cro Magnon I signed up to be
one of his swabies upon the high sea
No slovenly worker he said sternly to me
Or I'll chop off a finger, you just wait and see
But I got tired and leaned on my mop
and quick as a wink my finger he did chop
I'm known as Nine Fingers, a lesson learned
mind your captain or get what you've earned
No fear of the world running out of sugar.
I was kidding but after you posted I got to thinking about it. When the price of gasoline first began its ascent, it was the result of a shortage. If I'm not mistaken, the first shortage and big price hike was sugar. That was followed by coffee. Fortunately for consumers, sugar and coffee never had a second shortage. At least sugar did not, maybe coffee had at least one more.
