Elizabeth Elliot was proud;
Mary complained very loud.
Sir Walter was vain
Mrs Clay sadly plain,
And Wentworth stood out from the crowd.
--- Pamela Whalen

With ATTIC SALT a rich humor vein,
Along with loud laughter's refrain.
I've found in the past
In the good words amassed,
By that crusty old gent, Mark Twain.
--- Chris Papa

The old English writers I've slaughtered,
Told Dickens and Doyle like they oughta d-
One, now I'll see
If Americans three,
Can also be hung, drawn, and quartered.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Alcott, Twain and Beecher Stowe,
All wrote the same stuff, don't you know.
So this compilation,
Or agglomeration,
Will sort them all out in one go.
--- Tiddy Ogg

So come, let our story begin...
Tom Sawyer and Huckleb'ry Finn,
Were laid on their bunks,
As drunk as two skunks...
They'd been at Aunt Polly's sloe gin.
--- Tiddy Ogg

"Come on, Tom," says Huck, the young hippy,
"We'll borrow a boat that's quite nippy,
That'll be a fine stunt.
We'll take Old Ben's punt,
And sail down the great Mississippi."
--- Tiddy Ogg

They snuck round to Tom's Uncle's cabin,
And while the old fella was nappin',
Some bottles of corn
Liquor, and plenty porn
Magazines they were stealthily grabbin'.
--- Tiddy Ogg

They crept to the river so cold,
Found a punt, hitched it free, and then poled
Out into the lake...
Then their first big mistake,
They opened a mag's centerfold.
--- Tiddy Ogg

They eagerly studied the diff-
Erences that girls had, and stiff-
ened down in their pants,
And gave not a glance
At the path being took by their skiff.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Were the boobs on that model girl real, or
False? Gee, they'd both like to peel her
Of clothing, though few
That just hid from view...
Then along came a mighty stern-wheeler.
--- Tiddy Ogg

To that ship their small craft was unsighted,
And the boys too engrossed to be frighted,
In the water were thrown,
Losing pics, booze and bones,
But soon on an island alighted.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Dame Fortune the foolish caresses,
Her plenitude now will impress us,
For our shivering pair,
Find piled neatly there,
Silk panties, plus bras and fine dresses.
--- Tiddy Ogg

So in this lone place quite benighted,
With limited choice they've decided,
These garments to don,
And pulling them on,
Our heroes become quite excited.
--- Tiddy Ogg

These jessies now start to explore,
And just round the bend they find four
Young ladies, quite grand,
Laid out on the sand,
Whose beauty they cannot ignore.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Were Tom's next words ornithological?
Perhaps you think meteorological?
"Hey Huck, I spy fun,
Naked birds in the sun!"...
I think they were fornicological.
--- Tiddy Ogg

These four, as I guess you all knew,
Were Amy, Beth, Jo and sweet Sue,
They arose with a squeal,
And their laughter did peal:
"It's the Nancy boys, where's Hardy Drew?"
--- Tiddy Ogg

What followed from this assignation,
I'll leave unto your 'magination.
Suffice it to say,
That the rest of the day
Resulted in much procreation.
--- Tiddy Ogg

With all of this junk I'm now bored,
But I trust that you may well applaud,
The rhymes that I shunt, [shunned]
For Huck, and the punt,
By luck and the grace of the Lord.
--- Tiddy Ogg

One point: if it seems at first sight,
That the names that I give aren't quite right,
Of those four little women,
Who naked were swimming,
I'm trying to skirt copyright.
--- Tiddy Ogg

There once was a little old lawyer,
Who sued Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer
On behalf of Ms. Thatcher.
They said when they catch 'er,
Huck watched what Tom did her -- the voyeur!
--- Marlene Lewis

Huck Finn, on the river a spell,
Found freedom, gave freedom as well.
He cast off the yoke
Of respectable folk,
Scaling heaven assenting to hell.
--- Laurence Perrine P8409

Huck Finn is a novel with plot,
And its language! -- I like it a lot;
As for Finnegans Wake,
Huck return for Christ's sake!
And redeem us from Aunt Polly-glot!
--- Laurence Perrine P8409

I think you're confusing his claim.
He'd a speech defect, using his name.
He couldn't pronounce R's;
When he met gals in bars,
He boasted: "I go like a twain!"
--- Tiddy Ogg

"I was born," snapped Clemens, a hack,
When dying and flat on his back,
"With Halley's Comet!
I'm going out on it,
But then we're coming right back!"
--- P8211

"With tariffs today everywhere,
If there's one foreign product they spare
From duty assessed,"
Mark Twain said he guessed,
"It must be the answer to prayer."
--- A N Wilkins P9008

Mark Twain was a mop-headed male,
Whose narratives sparkled like ale.
And this Prince of the Grin
Who once fathered Huck Finn,
Can still hold the world by the tale!
--- W S Burgess P9611

There once was a writer name Twain.
Who had a peculiar stain,
Surrounding the head,
Of his prick: It was red,
And 'twas said to wash off in the rain.
--- L1651

There once was a writer named Clemens,
Whose balls were a pair of large lemons.
To flavor his tea,
He would jack off with glee,
And drink it down, 'tremens et gemens'.
--- L1652

Though Dickens and Hardy may bore yer,
Twain's dead, and so can't call a lawyer.
You surely can't fail,
To make some ribald tale,
About Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.
--- Anon

Sam Clemens -- a pen name he got
From terms of the river, but not
From being a stud,
Or he'd be called Bud
Or Travis or surely, "Mark Twat."
--- Travis Brasell

On the farm, there's an ominous sign
That's supposed to keep livestock in line;
"Four legs good, two legs bad,"
Was the motto we had;
What to do with this fifth leg of mine:
--- Robin K Willoughby P8409

There once was a man called Jones,
Who was despised right down to his bones.
He gave labor grueling,
With no time for cooling.
He cause many disgruntled groans.
--- Anon

Along came Major, a boar,
Attention was what he did lure.
His speech held inspiration,
Hope of less perpiration,
And of rebellion he was sure.
--- Anon

This is file nwm

After the humans were gone,
The animal's party was on.
They knew what to do.
They would savor their coup.
Yet they all still awoke at dawn.
--- Anon

The pigs quickly rose to the top,
Determined to not be a flop.
They set up great rules
And rejected the tools.
The Utopia would soon stop.
--- Anon

A windmill was 'bout to be built,
But perfection was starting to wilt.
When Snowball was banished,
The old rules had vanished,
And the pigs were then sleeping on quilts.
--- Anon

All of the laws had been changed;
The pigs started acting real strange.
Napoleon led,
Fact was all that he said,
And freethinkers were always estranged.
--- Anon

The food supply was getting low,
As animals dreamed of long ago.
The pigs started drinking;
The morale was sinking,
And the humans were no longer the foe.
--- Anon

Because he was tainted by money,
Napoleon was not as sweet as honey.
He carried a whip.
The facade was a gyp,
With pigs and men playing gin rummy.
--- Anon

Burmese Days is a George Orwell story
Of a perplexed young fellow named Flory
Who does himself dead
With a shot in the head;
A tale that's both tragic and gory.
--- Alexander Baron

If you're wanting the end of the war, well
It was all predicted by Orwell;
In 1984,
Oceania's war
Went on just as long as it wore well.
--- Dr Limerick 02-08-02

There's no doubting Orwell was a seer
To get the date right, at that year.
You're numbered, computed,
No detail's excluded.
The Big Brother era is here.
--- Willian S Bavin P8411

Big Brother has struck once again,
As he does, time to time, now and then
And there is no release
From his hot thought police
Who are might with both sword and pen.
--- Neal Wilgus P8411

Big Brother was mad -- he was pissed.
Get that Smith. Bring him here, Brother hissed.
And soon Smith loved Brother
Just like his own mother,
But he wasn't quite sure what he'd missed.
--- Neal Wilgus P8409

Big brother again has come through
Which is why we all love him, it's true.
And he'll never cease
All our thoughts to police!
How he does it, we haven't a clue...
--- Neal Wilgus P8411

There once was a child who said, "How
A spider, a goose, and a cow
Can have equal delights
And identical rights
Without civil war, or a row?"

(Animal Farm)
--- Miadesnia

Dear Child, you will surely allow
Sound sense in our reasoning now;
Though each equals me,
I'm more equal than he.
So I'm boss. Yours contentedly, Cow
--- Miadesnia

For decades of frenzied obsession
With the spectre of nascent oppression
End this year with relief,
As we ask "Where's the grief?"
We've disproved Orwell's somber impression.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

Doublethink is a code we deplore,
Though the ultimate weapon of war
With its "Peacekeeper" label,
Prompts thoughts of a table
We may have read somewhere before.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

In Iran and Beirut things went sour,
But they led to our noblest hour:
The Grenada invasion
Gave cause for elation
By proving we're still a world power.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

It's conceded by all those 'au courant'
That policemen now search without warrant.
In the view of the courts,
From the latest reports,
Inconveniencing cops is abhorrent.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

Other hints may be found here and there.
Every person who travels by air,
Has his luggage X-rayed
And the contents displayed
To a stranger's inquisitive stare.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

And a vacuous few may beseech
Limitations on government's reach
Toward preventive detention
And wiretap extension,
But unbroken eggs can't yield quiche.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

How could Orwell have been so mistaken?
For a long time, he had us all shaken.
But his nightmare prediction
Was nothing by fiction.
Oh, how soothing to finally waken.
--- Mel Lewis P8411

An unperson from West Oceania
For self-whipping developed a mania.
Picture then his elation
At the Thought-Police Station,
When they said: "Give it up or we'll cane ya'!"
--- C Vita-Finzi

'Parsifal' was a faggoty knight
Who knew how to shoot swans in flight.
But when Kundry gave in,
And turned up her quim,
He turned down her offer outright.
--- G2437

'Taras Bulba' was an ugly old fart
Who blasted his son clean apart,
When the boy tried to dick
Some cute polish chick
Who had captured his wild Russian heart.
--- G2438

Count Tolstoi, a thinker of note,
When young was a raunchy old goat.
But as he grew older,
His ballocks grew colder,
And of sinners repentant he wrote.
--- G2439

'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', they say
Is a volume exceedingly gay.
To put it quite blunt,
Lawrence hated a cunt:
He preferred it the pederast's way.
--- G2440

Henry Miller of literary fame
Thought the words in most novels too tame.
So he ran quite amuck
Writing cunt, shit, and fuck,
And others too nasty to name.
--- G2441

H. Spencer Ashbee, oil-seller,
Was a rather cunt-crazy old feller.
He hated his wife,
Let a wild 'Secret Life',
Which today has become a best seller.
--- G2442

There was a young guy they called Psycho
Who liked to stay home and said, "Why go?"
Said his friend, Robert Bloch,
"You're just like your cock --
You go up, you go down, You're a high-low."
--- Neal Wilgus P8211

I once wrote a novel called PSYCHO --
The result of injecting a hypo.
Then I wrote PSYCHO TOO
And you see what they do --
My title gets botched with a typo!
--- Jim Weaver Collection

I've studied the depths of life's woes
To pinpoint what causes the throes
Of trouble and strife,
That happens in life,
And I must conclude that it's prose.
--- Travis

To add to life's woes in this dwelling,
A second cause comes for the telling;
Along with all prose
As everyone knows,
Are surely the woes of misspelling.
--- Travis

In Samoa the girls wear grass skirts
And there aren't any fruits or perverts.
There's no competition
Or even ambition;
Adolescence without any hurts.
--- Arthur Deex P8409
