Gulls swoop.
Dodge poop.
Fish bite;
All right!
Pike soup for dinner tonight.
Silly rhymes
Come again
It’s wet,
It’s sweat.
It’s not;
It’s snot.
Sayyaad Al-Sarsoor
Sayyaad Al-Sarsoor’s occupation
Was from the most curious of jobs:
He hunted cockroaches, and shaped from them brooches
That ladies emblazoned upon their hijaabs.
Was from the most curious of jobs:
He hunted cockroaches, and shaped from them brooches
That ladies emblazoned upon their hijaabs.
I tell you it was the most curious of jobs.
Light me a chulha
Light me a chulha
For my handsome dulha;
I made him hot chai
But he prefers it coolah.
Cleaning Glasses
Every so often I take off my glasses
And reach for a scrap that is clean,
I polish one lens, and then do the other,
And wonder how dirty they’ve been.
Make me an omelette
Make me an omelette covered in cheese,
Green peppers, black olives and cream, if you please.
Gus The Gentlemouse
Respectable Gus Nibble Gnawsom
Apparels in manner quite awesome;
His trousers of cotton are properly starched
With shirt neatly pressed, and epaulettes arched,
And tan leather boots whose ebony laces
Would help Gnawsom get into elegant places;
His coat lined with taffeta, cuff links of bronze
Do help him to forge the most friendly of bonds;
Apparel that brightens the bearing of Gus,
There never was more handsome a gentlemouse.
Note: It would be most gnawsome to pronounce it gentle-mus, evidenced by the last couplet.
Rosy Mariam Redhijab
Rosy Mariam Redhijab
Loves to eat corn on the cob,
She likes it with butter, she loves it with salt,
And washes it down with a butterscotch malt.
Over The Ocean Blue
Teddy Lou Potter and his little daughter
Sailed over the ocean blue,
A curious otter pulled them in the water
And gave them a cold. Ahchoo!
Don Dalrymple
Don Dalrymple had a dimple
In his little chin;
You hardly ever saw it ‘cept
When Dalrymple would grin.
