What Anna Nicole couldn't do,
For that poor old gent ere he blew,
Was get all his dough
For respectable show.
She's but a round-heeled PARVENU.
--- Chris Papa

The big table in season of PASCH
Helps families their troubles to mask.
When old Uncle Joe
Does act like a schmoe,
With the help of some stuff from his flask.
--- Daniel Ford

She'll leave no stone unturned
Until it's history she's learned.
Leaps tall hills with a bound!
Cries "Aha!" when she's found
A fossil that's not to be spurned.

God's grace celebrate at Passover,
With matzo and filled sole of Dover;
Adonai blessing,
Tradition dressing,
Anticipating coming clover.

(adonai - Hebrew for Lord)
--- Daniel Ford

His collection of erotic art,
A PASTICHE of pleasure at start,
But he gave it all up,
Once he had shtup
From wife who loved sex a la carte.
--- Chris Papa

Stylistic imitation, PASTICHE,
Still needs creativity unleash.
So even the best
May take a small rest,
To relax and enjoy some hashish.
--- Daniel Ford

Real men never eat quiche,
And they never use words like PASTICHE.
If you want to look tough,
Stay away from this stuff
And stick to expletives like 'jeesh'.
--- Norm Brust

PATERFAMILIAS is the role I play
At family gatherings, both sad and gay.
It's not 'cause I'm smart;
I'm just an old fart
Who gets stuck when there are bills to pay.
--- Norm Brust

The PATERFAMILIAS we've learned
In charge of those with bottoms "burned",
When house rules they break,
While for their safe sake,
Toils and gives all that he's earned.
--- Chris Papa

We long for PATERFAMILIAS,
Even if he's somewhat bilious,
'Cause TV nowadays
Quite often portrays
That one as merely a silly ass.
--- Daniel Ford

PATERFAMILIAS seem a bit passe
In the light of our present day.
Single or wed;
Same sex or same bed.
A test tube can sub for foreplay!
--- Barb

Test tube for foreplay's just chatter.
The darn thing is likely to shatter.
But sooner or later
A sturdy vibrator
Will settle the delicate matter.
--- Chris Papa

Regarding the rhyme you just sent:
Here's a quip I hope is sentient.
Sometimes you guys
Get girls who ain't wise.
You "come" and love ain't what you meant!
--- Barb

So sometimes there's much hell to pay.
She finds there's a babe on the way.
If paterfamilia's not result,
Add injury to insult;
It will be she who will pay!
--- Barb

To forge identities new
Israelis of every hue
Got rid of surnames
(Old identity frames)
And put PATRONYMICS on view.
--- Esther

That's why, in the telephone book,
When for a new name you look,
The Bens you will find
Go on 'til you're blind.
Like Smith, that American hook.
--- Esther

Ben-Gurion, Ben-Yitzhak, Ben-Tal,
Ben-Avraham, Ben-Ariel, Ben-gal,
There is just no end
To ways you can bend
Ben-, for a name that won't pall.
--- Esther

If a guy has a name like Ben-Ben,
What happens in naming game, when
He too, has a lad,
Is label then had,
As Ben-Ben-Ben, really then?
--- Chris Papa

Such showy adornments are fine,
But I think they're quite PAVONINE,
And needed by some,
Who'd rather not bum
Around with a group such as mine.
--- Chris Papa

Today's pampered youth's free to choose
And sport some weird spikey hairdos.
They send up our scene,
Tipped red, blue, and green,
With pelage of PAVONINE hues.
--- Chris Papa

Make love not war, is my command.
I really want to understand
Why men never learn,
And women just yearn,
And Peace keeps extending it's hand!
--- Maggie

It would be great future in store,
If we could make love and not war.
But mankind's intent,
On destruction bent,
Till our kind will be here no more.
--- Chris Papa

To Judeo-Christians out there,
May this coming weekend be fair,
To celebrate Hope,
And help us all cope,
While sweet "Peace on Earth", we all share.
--- Chris Papa

Today's news is of PECCANT priest,
Who with a young lad, played the beast.
With his vows all mocked,
He should be defrocked,
And spend some good jail time, at least.
--- Chris Papa

PECKSNIFFIAN describes the notion
That pharisees go through the motion,
But don't understand
The full meaning grand
Of commandments from beyond Goshen.
--- Anon

Law says one musn't PECULATE,
Or in a dark prison you'd percolate.
This PECuliar word,
As I've read and heard,
Has origins that are quite sPECulate.
--- Chris Papa

Caught indulging in PECULATION
A co-worker caused speculation.
What will the judge say?
She's now on her way -
Sot start her short incarceration.
--- Chris Papa

There's hardly a group that's more scary
Than the commonpols PECUNIARY.
For your votes they will lie;
For friends cut the pie.
And of crumbs for the voters, there's nary.
--- J'Carlin

Professor, in love's throes quite frantic,
Thought that he might write rhymes romantic;
Sent limericks instead,
His sullen lass said,
"Your pitiful poems are PEDANTIC!"
--- Chris Papa

Our VP was downright PEDANTIC,
Which made his spin doctors quite frantic.
Till a long public kiss
Made the pundits say this
Shows potential for future tricks antic.
--- Daniel Ford

Our Congress has released, PELL-MELL,
The story of misdeeds, quite fell.
Morality tale,
Which may lead to jail,
Or to political hell.
--- Chris Papa

Poor Peter, with PENCHANT for pinching
The bottoms of ladies, while inching
Real close for a squeeze;
Result if you please,
A slap in the face he'll be cinching.
--- Chris Papa

How would Peter the Pincher respond
If dames from Baths and Beyond,
Sidling up with no flinch,
Give his peter a pinch
And bruise his own magic wand.
--- Esther

This is file jzl

"From this sad revelation," thought she,
"My life PENTIMENTO will be;
With marriage asunder,
It will be seen under
The glaze of rejection for me.
--- Elois

PEPPIER, the dispenser of pepper,
Is a tall, wooden thingamabob schlepper,
Who'll ask unctuously,
If he might be free,
To treat you like a handless leper.
--- Chris Papa

Grinding like a rite of the church,
With dark powdery stuff to besmirch,
Chef's presentation,
With abomination;
You'd rather then leave in a lurch.
--- Chris Papa

If I could have my own way,
I'd exile the swarthy PEPPIER,
Replacing instead
With a guy who brings bread,
I guess that he's called the PANNIER.
--- Chris Papa

If, PER CONTRA, the female is drab,
Than an Adonis mayhap have some flab!
So sometimes a mating
Might become so grating
When there's no gusto to grab.
--- Barb

He declared that he'd take her to bed.
"PER CONTRA, my dear lad," she said.
"The choice, clearly is mine,
And if I decline,
You'll have to go elsewhere, instead!"
--- Chris Papa

The climbers clung close by the edge,
Of the mountain, with no bets to hedge.
"You wanna go up?
Or down? Just say Yup..."
"Per contra, let's move cross the ledge."
--- Bob Dvorak

Poor nun in a pregnant condition,
Caused by untimely submission
To a bishop's call,
One night in dark hall,
The path to the lady's PERDITION.
--- Chris Papa

The cobbler fell into Hell's hole;
Redemption the clergyman's goal,
Was spared sad PERDITION
With this strong petition
"God bless shoe" and thus saved his sole.
--- Gary Hallock

If someone sets out on a ramble,
That's really much more than a gambol,
A long walk's in store;
He'll warm-up for sure,
A PEREGRINATION pre-amble.
--- Gary Hallock

There once was a virgin PERENNIAL
Whose integrity hymenial
Was maintained throughout
Dreary life without,
Though it vanished ere centennial
--- Daniel Ford

Our indigent are very clever.
On their agenda, work never.
Complaints PERENNIAL
About work, any'll
Make sure from dole they'll never sever.
--- Chris Papa

In minds of rhymesters PERFIDIOUS,
A word's meaning ain't fastidious.
For you'll think of one
Then they'll make a pun
In hopes you'll laugh at the hidious.
--- Daniel Ford

Faithless, treachery PERFIDIOUS,
Willy's tangled web insidious,
Grew from sex function
Without compunction,
A history most invidious.
--- Daniel Ford

PERFIDIOUS Willy atone,
You may provide "service" alone,
But alibi slips
Where young woman's lips
Give help, while you're holding a phone.
--- Chris Papa

PERGOLAS of beauty, they say,
Which aren't seen much every day,
May be cool and jivey
Until poison ivy
Wends into the showy display.
--- Chris Papa

The latticework arbor, PERGOLA,
Shaped like an overturned gondola,
Is cover with flowers
And over us towers,
As we walk in shadows angula.
--- Daniel Ford

Beauty mythological PERI,
May leave a man in morn quite bleary.
And aspiring peers
May realize fears
That temptress seduces the weary.
--- Daniel Ford

Watch out, young man, for the svelte PERI;
She'll stroke you there and call you Dearie.
But after knot's tied,
It's then woe betide.
She's gone and you're stuck with brats dreary.
--- Chris Papa

I once encountered a beauteous PERI.
At first I thought this somewhat eerie.
But after spending the night
With this Persian delight,
My mood changed from leery to cheery.
--- Norm Brust

Her hair like the silk of the corn.
The PERI men's arms would adorn.
Blonde hair became grey.
Men started to stray
To those who were much later born.
--- Elois

Closest to sun, PERIHELION,
Point where planet does a wheely on;
From here on, let's say
It's moving away,
Red shifting just like a chameleon.
--- Daniel Ford

For Pluto, 248 years,
Is all it takes till it nears
The warmth of PERIHELION,
But still a chameleon,
Can't stop without freezing its ears.
--- Sue

PERIHELION, is orbital spot,
To get to, one travels a lot.
It's closest to sun,
So in the long run,
It gets to be pretty damned hot.
--- Chris Papa

Itinerant, PERIPATETIC,
Walking about apologetic.
No place to call home,
Does everywhere roam,
Seeking bottles of anesthetic.
--- Daniel Ford

Blowfish it is not apt to be,
Meting discomfort to you and to me.
Ankles swell and ooze
Over sides of shoes.
Culprit: PERNICIOUS M S G. (monosodium glutamate)
--- Elois-

Injurious people PERNICIOUS
Aren't necessarily so vicious,
But may have their effects
With far-reaching affects
Of malicious minds surreptitious.
--- Daniel Ford

Considering the roots of PERPEND,
It's not an action meant to offend,
But an intelligent
Way to tell a gent
What he proposes you'd forfend.
--- Daniel Ford

I have a limerick-writing friend
Who is not the type to PERPEND.
He dashes off a verse,
For better or worse,
And then, without thought, hits "send".
--- Norm Brust

Now listen young fellow, PERPEND,
If too much lewd slut time you spend,
In these days of youth,
You'll grow up uncouth,
And need V.D. clinics to mend.
--- Chris Papa

When limerick writing I PERPEND,
If muse will inspiration send.
To sense she'll not,
Means coffee hot.
Need help me my illusions end.
--- Elois

The beautiful girl would PERPEND,
On whether her free night to spend,
With her pup, dear Bowser,
Or the well-hung rouser,
Who would stimulate her in the end.
--- Chris Papa

A young maid who just wouldn't PERPEND,
And tell swollen swain where to end,
They made love too much,
Got pregnant a touch,
With wedding for all to attend.
--- Chris Papa

As his feelings for Rhonda grew fonder,
A proposal he began to ponder.
With his thoughts thus wending,
Through endless PERPENDING,
Rhonda, on her Honda, did wander.
--- Norm Brust
