Rapunzel

The young prince scaled the golden braid

Draped from Rapunzel’s head,

And shock of shocks, those lovely locks

Grew from her face instead.

T-Rex

I believe paleontologists 

Made mistakes at the t-rex digs.

What they assumed were fossilized arms 

Were obviously petrified twigs.

Daily Scribble

Trapped in an ever-deepening pit

The stress is taking its toll.

He mutters and cusses,

He grumbles and fusses,

And keeps right on digging the hole.

Life can end up in a mess

When we endeavor to impress.

Don’t try keeping up with Joneses

If it requires you take out loanses

Billy The Kid

Had he picked another line of work,

Say, accountant or librarian,

Billy the Kid might have become

Billy the Octogenarian.

They stowed away on Irish ships
Drinkin’ pints and gettin’ lucky
And the leprechaun hillbillies still roam free
From Georgia all the way to Kentucky.

The Golden Rule is wonderful,

Although a tad simplistic. 

It fails to take into account

The sadomasochistic.
