"About Hollywood, somewhere I've read
That acting is easy," growled Fred.
"For people, they say,
Win an Oscar today
Who don't bother to get out of bed."
--- A N Wilkins P0211

And fast food stores now have the knack
Of getting on H Potters track:
Eye of newt, toe of frog,
And the hair of the dog...
Oh no, that's the standard Big Mac.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Those same Big Macs we had last week;
Took a bite, groaned, decided to peek.
There was too little meat,
The tomatoes deplet-
Ed. We left there, some good food to seek.
--- Hilde na Baeg

I reading that old Potter, Harry,
And don't find the thing a bit scary.
But it robbed me a night's
Or two's sleep, but not fright.
Kept me awake, interesting very.
--- Ulla

The merchandise, now though, is utter
Ly mod; you can get Harry Butter;
Bike parts: Harry Cotters;
And fires: Harry Hotters;
And golfers can get Harry Putters.
--- Tiddy Ogg

A kid on a broomstick that flies,
And goblins and wizards and spies.
He's playing Quidditch,
With a cute little witch.
"Hermione, make this stick rise!"
--- Irish

Hello there, Hello from a witch!
How about a nice match of Quidditch?
I would sure like a quick
Ride on your broom stick.
Feel inclined to catch my Golden Snitch?
--- Ulla

About this game, of snatching your snitch;
For me there's one lingering hitch.
Acrophobic am I.
I don't want to die,
While trying to scratch my love itch.
--- Irish

I suggest, thence, the ground where it's stable.
I know that down there I am able
To make like old Fluffy,
And lap at your Muffy,
Three times as we make our own fable!
--- Irish

Last night for the first time in a while,
We went to the movies in style.
Sound blasted our ears;
Seats squeezed our old rears;
In fact there was scant cause to smile.
--- Tony Burrell

The film was that Harry Potter;
Our daughter said that we just gotter
Go in the first week,
To take the first peek.
Did we have fun? No, not a lotter.
--- Tony Burrell

Pure Fantasy -- that a boy, Potter,
Around on a broom could make hotter
A cauldron or two,
For its perfectly true
That he'll not touch a broom when he's gotter!
--- Dennis Hammes

Not shown in the film, "Harry Potter",
Was the use of the brooms to save bother.
But the magic is tricky;
Remember how Mickey
Rued the moment he had one fetch water.
--- Dr Limerick

Allow me to hazard a guess;
Those brooms by themselves sweep the mess;
A wizard perk dandy
Especially handy
For debris from the game, Wizard Chess.
--- Dr Limerick

As for Mickey's wiz lesson, I caught her,
(How broom begat daughter on daughter.)
But I will confess
I don't use it on chess,
For it generates nothing but slaughter.
--- Dennis Hammes

Indeed, I have rather refined
My thoughts on "Wizard's Gambit Declined,"
For I watched a young master
Punch faster and faster --
Till the clock punched him out of his mind.
--- Dennis Hammes

The commune dweller, Anthony Cotter,
Wore a beard; was allergic to water.
He could throw clay to suit;
He was soiled and hirsute;
Therefore he was the first hairy potter.

This boy went to live with his aunt
And uncle, who said "But you can't
Be a wizard! Absurd.
If the neighbors all heard,
You aren't a wizard! You aren't!"
--- Hannah Potter

He lived with them for some ten years,
Far away from his natural peers.
Till one day he found out;
The secret was out,
And it confirmed his family's worst fears.
--- Hannah Potter

To Hogwarts school he was sent,
Where his happiest days were spent.
Different spells they learned
And potions they burned
And he found out what friendship meant.
--- Hannah Potter

He and his friends had adventures,
Which lead to them getting detentions.
They agreed to stop prying,
Getting in trouble and spying,
Until something tested their intentions.
--- Hannah Potter

Through a trapdoor they descended one night.
A Dark Wizard they were ready to fight.
They broke different spells
As legend now tells,
Until the enemy was in sight.
--- Hannah Potter

And sadly our story now ends.
Harry Potter goes home with his friends.
His family is horrible,
Simply intolerable.
We'll see Harry when the summer ends.
--- Hannah Potter

Harry Potter's the one I like best,
And Hermione's cute, and the rest.
And Ron was a star;
I even liked Voldemar!
I just saw it, if you haven't guessed.
--- Willis Baddel

Harry Potter's magic affair
Made Ms Rowling a millionaire.
Are we pleased? You bet!
It's cleared our national debt,
And given a few quid to spare.
--- Tony Burrell

The skill of a chacma named Turks
In painting is something that irks
Collectors today,
For his paintings, they say,
Look much like De Kooning best works.

Has a palette and brush in his hand.

A landscape with trees?
Perhaps the sea and the shore and sand.

Did all of her paintings in blue;
They were put on display
In a hall in Bombay,
And received an outstanding review.

"I don't care if my canvas looks maimed!"
But one look at this mess
And the viewer will guess,
That, down deep, the man must be ashamed.

Whose artistry leaned to bare loin.

With digital licks,
'Til Big Brother reneged for some coin.

That while he was painting,
From desire he was fainting,
And he blew on the canvas, the heel.

There once was this talented lass,
Whose paintings were judged as first class.
Although nobody knew
That each time that she'd screw,
She'd paint with a brush in her ass.

There was a poor chap called Rossetti:
As a painter with many kicks met he--
With more as a man--
But sometimes he ran,
And that saved the rear of Rossetti.

Having paid his homage to Giotto,

Dreamed he got screwed,
And called himself Dear Uncle Otto.

To wank till I rub myself raw.

Who often got tanked when he drank.
The liquor pervaded
His mind and it faded.
And he kept on drawing a blank.

And painted by this guy. Jackdaw
Or Eagle, each flew.
He penned nonsense too!
Kids loved this old bearded lead drawer.

A painter of birds, Edward Lear,
For limericks was known far and near.

And assorted fine fowl
Show Lear in his other career.

To achieve just the right Arctic mood,

But close to sadistic)
Stands his models on ice in the nude.

Else thy tail and thy toes
And thy innocent nose
Will be ground by the grinder of Gambart.

To paint in the nude,
And soon drew a sizeable crowd.

But since that won't do,
He sat by his easel and pouted.

In its featureless vaults
And said, "Paint it over. It's peeling!"

And admission is free,
So skinflints can go, for a start.

In the art world, created some ripples,
With the paintings she made
Every time she got laid,
With a brush she attached to her nipples.
