There once was a MENDACIOUS man
Who once had an audacious plan:
This clever young rake,
Would oral sex take,
And swear it was a moral plan.
--- Chris Papa

MENDACIOUS? A character flaw!
You'll get snared in long arms of the law.
But MENDACIOUS men
Who, time and again,
Prove false...really stick in my craw.
--- Barb

A politician once raved and he cussed;
"If not me, who else would you trust?"
MENDACIOUS men others,
Are all lying mothers...
Me? I lie just when I must!
--- Gunjan

A MENDACIOUS man met his Maker
And told him that he was a Quaker.
Though an atheist,
He was thus dismissed
To Hell, an unrepentant faker.
--- Chris Papa

The moral is then very clear.
That when your Maker's ear,
All fasehoods eschew,
Or he'll settle you
Some place with a climate severe.
--- Chris Papa

If you always speak with veracity
And strive for what's right with tenacity,
You'll find greener grass
Or get kicked in the ass
By those you accuse of mendacity.
--- Eric Seaberg

Men of unfaithful MENDACITY,
Pursued with strong tenacity,
May finally give up
To the wife and the pup
Betrayal's hurtful veracity.
--- Daniel Ford

But the damage that will be done
To all concerned, each mother's son,
Engenders despair
Which none can repair,
So social fabric is undone.
--- Daniel Ford

When appointing a lawyer to the bench,
Choose one that you know is a MENSCH,
Because once he's a judge,
He's tempted to fudge
And use hammer when what's needed is wrench.
--- Norm Brust

I don't think I'll get much dissension,
If I state there is much pretention,
Of good deeds about.
With reason to doubt,
They're product of World's dim MENSCHEN.
--- Chris Papa

A proper young lass of good sense
Was careful to display such MENSE
As public required,
But when she retired,
Of modesty made no pretense.
--- Chris Papa

Taking one's measure, MENSURATION,
Like IQ screen, is men's sure ration;
Though members of club,
Dare no woman snub:
She does Mensa validation.
--- Daniel Ford

MENSURATION takes measure of waves
In physics and oceanic laves.
Such notes will not ease
Forepoint of men's seas;
High waves make for watery graves.
--- Daniel Ford

MENSURATION from surveyor's lex,
Has nothing to do with fair sex.
'Tis measuring feat
Not need to stay neat,
By strapping on bulky Kotex.
--- Chris Papa

MEPHITIC, is used to tell
Of various places that smell.
The root, stench, in Latin,
Not Devil in satin,
But meaning it sure stinks lie hell!
--- Chris Papa

Underworld vapors MEPHITIC,
Oft odiferous, sulfitic,
Bring nose storm and strife
And threats to one's life,
Unless you are saprophytic.
--- Daniel Ford

We've done word MEPHITIC before,
Plucked from O'Brian's word store,
Whence it was used there,
To describe bad air,
Just like at the New Jersey shore.
--- Chris Papa

There was a MERITORIOUS maid,
Who maintained demeanor quite staid,
Though 'twixt bedroom sheets
Performed daunting feats
And never a client betrayed.
--- Chris Papa

Honor worthy, MERITORIOUS,
For many campaigns victorious,
Generals stand forth
Every July Fourth,
Reminding in tones stentorious.
--- Daniel Ford

Some yearn for a fame that is glorious,
Yet fail in true deeds MERITORIOUS.
In foul act they're caught;
Their efforts are naught;
Except reputations notorious.
--- Chris Papa

To go lexicographer's route,
The MESA's a plateau quite cute.
Its much smaller size,
I rather surmise,
Is like a pain in the butte.
--- Chris Papa

MESHUGA, some kind of a "nut",
Not psychotic, open and shut,
With harmless weird thought,
A bit overwrought,
And often, a pain in the "butt".
--- Chris Papa

In rampage of fast-moving war,
Heroics of young make for lore.
Yet much that Willy
Does will seem silly
Or MESHUGGE as time passes more.
--- Daniel Ford

A MESHUGGENER, whose behavior was loony
Changed his name from Rosen to Rooney.
"'Tis Irish I am,
So don't call me Sam.
I'm Sean and me cousin's George Clooney."
--- Norm Brust

One fine night in an idyllic spot,
An essential, he said he forgot.
"But fear no peril,
Because I'm sterile."
She replied, "MESHUGGENER I'm not!"
--- Elois

Loopy is the MESHUGUNNER
Whose mind falls behind mouth runner.
And there is no doubt
The crazy wins out
When on state as a comic funner.
--- Daniel Ford

So that's how you pronounce word, MESNE,
A usage that's not often seen.
At the end of the day,
A weird way to say,
That something is just in between.
--- Chris Papa

It's hard to tell what you mean
If you use weird words like MESNE.
Expressions so dim
Makes me feel grim,
Which you can tell by oberving my mien.
--- Norm Brust

METAPLASM is word alteration
Affecting some folk in our nation.
In whose speech abounds
Such dyslexic sounds
As show mental constipation.
--- Chris Papa

When small, I came to grief;
Kept on saying "hanker-for-chief",
Kleenex not being invented
And no hankys presented...
You've the idea, so this will be brief.
--- Barb

METAPLASMIC prez, in widdershins move,
Tax cut for the rich, does approve.
Though poor cry "No way,"
Cares not what they say,
And "embetters" life for guys in his groove.
--- Elois

I suppose there is no excape
From word METATHESIS reshape,
But those altered words
By slow-witted nerds
Can surely be fixed with "duck tape"!
--- Observer

A word's letter switch, METATHESIS,
Needs explaianing in parathesis.
When a Bronx guy aks,
He whacks not with an axe,
But has a aural diathesis.
--- Daniel Ford

This is file jhl

METATHESIS is what you get,
Pronouncing in way all upset,
Like those not too bright,
Who think it all right
To use "new-cu-lar" epithet.
--- Chris Papa

METHUSELAH, ripe centenarian,
Delayed many years his own buryin',
But who calls that livin'
When no gal will give in,
'Cept Anna Nichole, who likes marryin'.

(Anna Nichole Smith married 90 year old millionaire)
--- Gary Hallock

Though he walks with help from his sticks,
METHUSELAH at age ninety-six
Will use his crabbed gait
To perambulate
In hearty pursuit of the chicks.
--- Chris Papa

Excessive brushing METICULOUS,
Applied to coif strands folliculous,
May produce such a tension,
(Hesitate to mention)
That hair fall, looking rediculous.
--- Daniel Ford

This rhyming is my METIER,
And I think it is rather okay
To put into verse
('Tis a bit of a curse)
Salacious thoughts one has to say!
--- Barb

A man with a mashing METIER
With derrieres would have his way.
Till one day he met
An aggressive vet;
She neutered him, now he is fey.
--- Chris Papa

True poets don't care about pay
Or they'd choose another METIER.
So we write our limericks
And turn other tricks
To make a living along the way.
--- Norm Brust

Though most monks will sit still and pray,
I know one who'd much rather play
And constantly probe
Beneath his chaste robe,
Self-pleasure, his muted metier.
--- Chris Papa

Some METONYMIES can be pretty crass,
As when you're told to move your ass.
And referring to frail
As a piece of tail,
Will brand you as very low class.
--- Norm Brust

The pols use much METONYMY.
Along with their forced bonhommie,
But get all their clues
From handlers they use,
Hiding true thoughts with economy.
--- Chris Papa

They are all extremely high flyers,
Who sell their tall tales to all buyers,
With flowery speech
For ear that they reach;
To bad they are such skillful liars!
--- Chris Papa

There once was a METTLESOME man,
Said, "I'll take on all comers I can!"
Result of this boast
And what he missed most,
Were teeth in the midst of his pan.
--- Chris Papa

I haven't the breath that I seek
When I opens me mouth to speak;
I can naught but wheeze,
So forgive me please,
ME ASTHMA has left me too weak.
--- Gary Hallock

Newark Airport, the Garden State's gate,
Shows passengers, with little wait,
A MIASMIC soil,
Where one refines oil,
And lungs are left to their poor fate.
--- Chris Papa

Local downdraft is MICROBURST,
As dangerous as brews for thirst
When flying a plane
Near thunder cloud's rain,
So skip microbrewery first.
--- Daniel Ford

The thing I always think of first,
Whenever there's a MICROBURST,
Is whether the plane
In the air will remain.
I'm always expecting the worst.
--- Harold

Heed controller's warning you must;
When flying a plane, plese adjust:
MICROBURST's looming,
You'd better be zooming,
Before you become microdust.
--- Chris Papa

The word is, in fact, mic-tur-ate
But Webster is quick to relate
It's called MICTURITION --
It's my supposition
You can not while you masturbate.
--- Donald McGill

In December's holiday scene,
One's finding it tough to stay lean.
Old Santa is there;
Can't fit in his chair,
But still has a radiant MIEN.
--- Chris Papa

The demeanor displayed as one's mien
Is better if portrayed as not mean.
If it is the latter,
You'll cause kids to scatter
Away from what's perceived as a fien'.
--- Daniel Ford

The tree-huggers on companies lean,
And insist that their products be "green".
They form picket lines
And carry dumb signs,
As they assume a self-righteous MIEN.
--- Norm Brust

Chameleon pols on our scene
Affect a "I am real honest" MIEN.
Until voting's done
And if they have won,
Line pockets in ways quite obscene.
--- Chris Papa

Some Irish farmers, MILESIAN,
Watered crops from wells artesian.
Vacationed with gendarme.
How keep them down on the farm,
When they've seen city Parisian?

(Irish)
--- Daniel Ford

MILESIAN, a prime aural trick,
That comes from the land of Limerick.
Not a South Sea Isle
With nut-brown sweet smile,
But only a gap-toothed Mick!

(Irish)
--- Chris Papa

Now MILIEU's a tough word to say,
If done in the fancy French way;
Then it rhymes with 'pure',
Or else it's 'manure',
Which I'll not plod into today.
--- Chris Papa

Rowdy sailor, while drinking in port,
Was arrested and hauled into court,
For sipping a few
At local MILIEU,
'Cause two pints always makes one cavort!
--- Observer

That MILLEFLEUR wallpaper one sees
Resembles a fungus disease,
Or at worst, will get
Some poor drunk to bet
He's having a case of DT's. (delerium tremens)
--- Chris Papa

The young folks who cut mean capers,
Get clothing from very same drapers.
Their cult of MIMESIS,
Provokes emesis
From elders who pity the apers.
--- Chris Papa

The mimicry behind MIMESIS
Emphasizes our warts and creases.
The ego battery
Of sincere flattery
Does damage to all but old Croesus.
--- Daniel Ford

There are folks who go by the thesis
That acme of style is MIMESIS
Of Hollywood bunch.
But I have a hunch
For me it might bring on emisis. (barf city)
--- Chris Papa

I once had a monkey, a rhesus,
Who was skilled at the art of MIMESIS.
Monkey see, monkey does
And I loved it because
At last he stopped flinging his feces.
--- Norm Brust

I've developed my very own thesis
That patients who exhibit MIMESIS
Will pull any trick
To prove that they're sick,
Like self-inflicting stomata of Jesus.
--- Norm Brust

The mimicry seen in MIMESIS
Conforms to an ancient truth's thesis:
The mime so tattery
Is sincere flattery,
Does oft give rise to anamnesis. (rememberance)
--- Daniel Ford

Feigned headaches do sometimes intrude
On sought-after sex interlude
And deflate the mate
Who anticipates,
Making a MINATORY mood.
--- Chris Papa
