Many a bed-time story
Tells a tale that is MINATORY.
Why do we stuff
Our kids with this guff,
When the real world is sufficiently gory?
--- Norm Brust

Mean and stingy gives us MINGY
Which causes many to feel cringy.
We're glad we're not
Stuck in that pot,
All depressed, dark, dirty, and dingy.
--- Daniel Ford

A MINGY old miser I knew
Squeezed pennies until they were blue.
Then he met merry maid,
Who skillfully played,
Then his paupery did ensue.
--- Chris Papa

There was a young virgin, who
Met a young swain, set to woo.
He made his advance;
She took down her pants,
And found love, MIRABILE DICTU!
--- Chris Papa

When the perp says word "lawyer" at all,
Then the cops, at once, must mouthpiece call.
The MIRANDIZE rule
Is a two-edged tool,
Protects rights but may make Justice bawl.
--- Elois

MIRANDIZE those poor felons all,
Lest in legal limbo you fall,
And before you are done,
Guy with smoking gun,
Will from any charge safely crawl.
--- Chris Papa

It should come as no great surprise
Parents will often MIRANDIZE
Their teen age offspring,
Who go off on a fling,
Straining patience and old family ties.
--- Barb

Today's cops will find it is wise
To every perp MIRANDIZE.
Lest funky old judge
Their best efforts fudge
And charges dismiss, I surmise.
--- Chris Papa

He MIRANDIZED the lass of her right
To let him use her bod for delight.
"Oh, be of good cheer."
She said, "Have no fear.
If you're good, I won't seek to indict."
--- Elois

The classic MISANDRY of Kate,
Who tells all of how she does hate,
Our species mad males,
Then right off she sails,
And with one will become a mate.
--- Chris Papa

Miss Andrea is hater of men.
Had no lovers since God-know-when.
She swears that a child
Can by test tube be styled.
To tube then she makes love again.
--- Bob Dvorak

When MISCIBLE cedes way to missable,
Things may then proceed soon to mis'rable,
When husband finds wife
Bane, not boon, of his life,
And she finds him no longer kissable.
--- Cyn

When couples are no longer MISCIBLE,
The result is often quite risible.
They each moan and bitch,
As lawyers get rich,
And organ use is only pissable.
--- Chris Papa

The hodge-podge collection, MISH-MASH,
Dancing in puddles, splish-splash,
Lines willy-nilly,
Verses so silly
I should wear a Kovacs moustache.

(Ernie Kovacs 1950's-60's comedian)
--- Daniel Ford

I dropped into eatery posh,
In hopes of a delicious nosh.
Got bagels and lox,
Fried greens and ham hocks,
Complete multi-ethnic MISH-MASH!
--- Chris Papa

His MISOCAINEA was such,
That only old things he would touch.
Though, seek amour,
He sought out a young whore,
Whose freshness erected him much.
--- Chris Papa

Hatred of marriage, MISOGAMY,
Perhaps from too much endogamy,
Too much inbreeding,
To gene pool kneading
Or harmonious monogamy.

(endogamy - marriage within specific group)
--- Chris Papa

MISOGAMY can't be much fun,
Because after all's said and done,
There are things to do,
In the marriage stew,
Where two is much better than one.
--- Chris Papa

Since the Garden of Eden's fall,
This has been the loud Luddite call:
"Since my baptism,
Don't MISONEISM;
If you've seen one ism, you've seen all.
--- Daniel Ford

MISONEISM says things should be
Exactly as in 10 B.C.,
Without fret or stew,
Do as Romans do,
As in todays sweet Italy.
--- Chris Papa

Resisting change, MISONEISM,
Leads many a group into schism,
Contrasting Luddite
With those who would fight
For dreams against old fogeyism.
--- Daniel Ford

She thought she knew just what he meant,
But instead, she wound up with lament!
He was only short term!
A cad and a worm:
Betraying MISPRISON intent.
--- Barb

Malfeasance, cover-up, MISPRISON,
Cannot be defined with precision.
It may be the act,
Sedition, in fact,
Or may be the judge's decision.
--- Daniel Ford

Though drunk to excess, even rude,
The lady was never seen nude.
Come-ons, she'd ignore 'em,
For proper decorum
Was say of this MISSISH stewed prude.
--- Chris Papa

On Monopoly board freely hop,
But watch out wherever you stop
On MITTIMUS slot,
'Cause then you have got
"In Jail" to go and set up shop.
--- Chris Papa

His dreams to have ladies cheering,
Surface at Judge Thomas' hearing.
New fame put upon
The cited "Long John",
Was in porno flicks soon appearing.
--- Chris Papa

There once was a pimpled youth, MITTY,
Who dreamed of a babe with big titty.
Who'd only get calm
By working his palm,
And was object of the maidens' pity.
--- Chris Papa

The daydreaming of Walter MITTY,
Did take him through parts of the city
That held great danger
For that Lone Ranger,
And often produced naught but pity.
--- Daniel Ford

Clever med students, in a trice,
Create objects that work very nice.
And often again
To solve their chagrin,
Will create a MNEMONIC device.
--- Daniel Ford

Many hope to get through their life
With some mere MODICUM of strife.
But parenting needs,
From children one breeds,
Will get to each poor man and wife.
--- Chris Papa

If you ask the folks over here,
From most you would hear the words clear:
A MODICUM of peace,
All killings to cease,
Is what we want; just say it's near.
--- Esther

But our leaders, may they rot in hell,
Have ideas that they think are swell.
So we kill and we maim;
"The other side is to blame,"
As we rush to disaster pell mell.
--- Esther

MOGIGRAPHIA, what can you do?
When new thoughts won't come to you.
It can ego trample,
This word's an example
That puts my poor brain in a stew.
--- Chris Papa

This is file jgl

There was an old mohel named Stiers
Who often drank too many beers.
He covered his slips
With a few well-aimed snips
From an old rusty pinking shears.
--- Bob L Moers

As any good mohel will vouch,
The bris kit contains a pouch
Where he puts his tips
(The ones he snips),
While witnesses all mutter "Ouch!"
--- Norm Brust

Male member of tribe will begin
His life with a penile foreskin.
But mohel will MOIL,
Mid some sighs and roil,
To harvest the sheath sans chagrin.
--- Chris Papa

Our papa at cookout did moil,
The burgers and steaks to charbroil.
But pigeons from park
Were out on a lark,
And all his good work did despoil.
--- Elois

Though drudgery be a sense of MOIL,
There is also turbulance of roil,
To stir up fluids
In pots from druids,
Whose senses may come to boil.
--- Daniel Ford

Well, I moil for gold in the North,
But none of it seems to come forth!
There's just not enough
Of this wonderful stuff
To pay the "odontist" called "orth."
--- Barb

Therefore I brush and I brush
Each day in the dawn's early hush.
Keeping gums in the pink;
It's better, I think,
That eating three meals of mush.
--- Barb

MOMISM's a nefarious plan,
To give all the tit that one can,
Insuring that child
Will grow up beguiled,
By big breasts throughout its life span.
--- Chris Papa

MOMISM, if you see it up close,
Is really a very large dose
Of selfish possession,
Bordering on obsession,
Which ultimately proves otiose.
--- Norm Brust

When bio time fair lady bids,
With urge to have and raise kids,
Alas and alack,
It's the MOMMY TRACK,
Advancement's then slow, or on skids.
--- Chris Papa

A MONDEGREEN? Oh, how you bait me!
I asked a girl once, "Would you date me?"
You'll understand why
I missread reply:
"I think, sir, you undress to mate me."
--- Gary Hallock

To construct a neat MONDEGREEN,
Twisting what words really mean,
Need skill fantastic,
Paronomastic,
As cooked a la Dan Ford's cuisine.
--- Chris Papa

Those words from mishearing, MONDEGREEN,
As soup bowl prize is wintergreen,
Are best understood
As tree falls in woods,
Unheard by Vermont Army's gangrene.
--- Daniel Ford

The enourmous worlds of MONDO
Remind us of Jean Paul Belmondo,
Where chills, thrills and bliss
With slip sliding miss,
Are matched with trumpet glissando.
--- Daniel Ford

Oh, to be rich a Croesus!
That inspires our NISUS.
So we give our cash,
To the Wall Street trash,
And then they proceed to fleece us.
--- Norm

One of my favorite foods is the eel,
Though I've never had one in my creel.
So if a fish MONGER
Offers me a conger,
I consider that a good deal.
--- Norm Brust

A PETMONGER thought she might do well,
In strange beasts like ocelot and petrel.
But no one'd believe her,
Her golden retriever
Looked just like a normal mongrel.
--- Bob Dvorak

Our dear Congress which barely works,
Comprised of political jerks,
With agenda clear,
Great MONGERS of fear,
Who mainly agree on great perks.
--- Chris Papa

Molly Malone was a FISHMONGER;
Her parents trade made her much stronger.
But she died of a fever
Which never did leave her;
She is a fishmonger no longer.
--- Daniel Ford

Purveyor of things is a MONGER;
As one who taps barrels is a bunger.
If they collaborate
To prepare buyer's fate,
They never should suffer from hunger.
--- Daniel Ford

"I'm screwing a MONODY, dear." (man a day?)
These words from my friend I did hear.
Her West Indies lilt
As confession she spilt,
Gave me cause my own sex life to jeer.
--- Cyn

Lamenting a death in MONODY
Often involves a great psalmody, (hymn singing)
As when saying goodbye
To our Camelot guy,
The young John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
--- Daniel Ford

A MONODY brings on the blues,
Whether one or two you might choose,
To death devoted
Or tune that's one-noted,
Best heard with a head full of booze.
--- Chris Papa

Geniuses oft have a common fate
With MOONCALF as a quite common trait:
Disruptive while schooling,
Labeled dunces while fooling,
But with accomplishments truly great.
--- Gene

If it's debatable, it's MOOT,
Commanding no rooty-toot-toot.
No one would care if
Defensive tariff
Came from Mr. Hawly or Smoot.
--- Daniel Ford

Once something is said to be MOOT,
The lawyers then won't give a hoot,
To facts as they are,
Might otherwise mar
The pleadings of each worthless suit.
--- Chris Papa

With MOPERY charges deserving,
Is action or lack of, unnerving.
And should bring arrest,
Where it's practised best,
By those now in our Senate, serving.
--- Chris Papa

When a man makes a pass at a lass
And he's wed, it's a moral MORASS.
But to keep disinterring
The flaws of the erring,
Strikes me as equally crass.
--- Eva Amata

When you live in a house made of glass,
It is wise to not be very crass.
As the Prez can attest,
It is most often best
To avoid situation MORASS!
--- Observer

The Great White, famously MORDACIOUS,
Has a maw that is endlessly capacious.
A dory's just dish
For this vicious fish.
And the passenger's his meal. He's voracious.
--- Norm Brust

When royalty marries "downstairs,"
After having successive affairs,
The plebian state,
MORGANATIC fate,
Awaits them, if anyone cares.
--- Chris Papa

A commoner's love MORGANATIC
Has consequences quite emphatic:
By marrying down
And losing the crown,
Nobles gain comeuppance traumatic.
--- Daniel Ford

The strictures on nobility are many.
So when milord marries plain Jenny,
Here comes the fanatic
Who labels it MORGANATIC,
So that Jenny does not get a penny.
--- Norm Brust
