Complete silliness. I wrote these on the back of my boarding pass during my flight to Utah.
A pig with a style debonaire
Soft-shoed it like Freddie Astaire
Cha-cha and can-can
Still pork in a pan
Thus ended his dance with a flare
Beware of the lecherous goose
His urges are bawdy and loose
Beneath his white feathers
He has studly black leathers
So his charm is a fowl-minded ruse
A feeble and cowardly chicken
Subjected to mean-hearted pickin’
Worked out day and night
Showed up for a fight
And gave those biddies a lickin’
When the summer grows hot and hazy
The cows in the meadow turn lazy
Supine they repose
with udders exposed
and the horny young oxen go crazy
A wily and smart-witted lamb
Professed to the great taste of ham
The hogs had a fit
And away they all lit
So the farmer stewed mutton and ram
A turkey who drank and gobbled
Indulged ’til his red waddle bobbled
He tried a straight strut
And he trotted well, but
In the end, that old turkey just wobbled
Lovely limericks. My best is the fourth one.
Limericks is what I do on my blog. You could check it out.

Fantastic! I have to say I do feel sorry for the animals though!

Me too. I felt bad for all the conflict and many poor animals ending up on the supper table! It’s just what came out while I was sardined on a little plane. Thanks for the visit and I’m glad you enjoyed them. 🙂

Very funny. I am curious and have to as this question because that’s what struck me as I was reading. Were you hungry at the time? :o)

Ha ha. I don’t think so. I felt a little bad about all the “animals as food” references since I don’t eat that way in real life. These just poured out uncensored, so I went with them. 😀

LOL, thanks I know there are no meals on domestic flights any more, just peanuts and chips so I thought you might have been hungry. :o)

One time I was being silly writing poems in the style of Dr. Seuss….ended up being a children’s poetry book.

I can imagine that would be lots of fun, and someday I’d love to pull something together for children. These were not appropriate, however. 😀 😀
