Poems

[g0shawk]

--I've been wanting to try my hand at limericks, so here are my first two.  Apparently limericks are supposed to be funny...don't think I quite accomplished that, and the 2nd one is 3 stresses in the first line only if you pronounce it a certain way...oh well.  They're fun to mess around with.

Limerick #1 - Fred

There once was a poet named Fred
Who liked to hum rhymes in his head
Then one day he found
With a thought most profound
That he was a singer instead

Limerick #2

Of the liberal who for president ran
Johnny was not a big fan
To be gay is a sin
He with uplifted chin
Said, and then fell in love with a man

--This next one (not a limerick) I actually started last semester in my statistics class (though I actually got the idea during riding), and just now got around to finishing it.  It's a little odd, but I like the rhyming.  :)

Tick Tock

Tick tock
Life goes by
Hands on the clock
People run awry

Tick tock
It’s not too late
Be strong like a rock
Don’t depend on fate

Tick tock
Say goodbye
No door to lock
Everyone will die

Tick tock
No set date
One sudden shock
Ain’t chance great?

Tick tock
Each day defy
Answer when you hear the knock
Don’t be shy

Tick tock
All we do is wait
Throw away the glock
No time for hate

Tick tock
Winter then July
Cowboy to jock
In the blink of an eye

Tick tock
Got yourself a date
Don’t put up a sock
‘Cause he’s not your soul mate

Tick tock
Don’t you cry
Rant and mock
But don’t comply

Tick tock
Too much on your plate
Stroll around the block
At an easy gait

Tick tock
Life goes by
Hands on the clock
And all I do is sigh
