Inkling #38 ~ prrr

Even with his uni-brow, 

Winston was the cat's meow. 

Inkling #37 ~ strained

Grandpa lost his lower jaw — 

now eats his meatloaf through a straw. 

Inkling #36 ~ nosetalgia

Don's eyes were dim, his ears were dull — 

God gave him a nose to make up for it all. 

Inkling #34: sniff him out

Jacob's schnoz was so dang big 

they thought that's where the convict hid.

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.  Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.  It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope.  Which is what I do.  And that enables you to laugh at life's realities." 
~ Dr. Seuss ~ 

Inkling #33: it's a small world after all

With all the fun you thought he had 

it's sure a shame he grew so mad. 

Inkling #30: foul ball

When Mr. Wilson was a child playing little league 

he caught a baseball with his head—a warning all should heed. 

Inkling #29: what you see is what you get

Mr. Harris watched a film full of violent screams 

and when he woke, to his horror, he had become his dreams.

Inkling #27: too glad he ate or not too glad he ate

The gladiator tried a joke but much to his chagrin 

the lion drank the punch line while devouring him.

Inkling #26: one can always hug

Larry had the thinnest lips 

inasmuch he could not kiss.

Inkling #25: talk about losing your tongue

Our neighbor had a temper that made him turn all red 

then one day we took his tongue and hid it in the shed.

Inkling #24: "Where does one purchase walrus fat?"

Jonny moved down from way up north 

and did not fit with the southern sort.

Inkling #19: don't fall asleep in the garden

The skull revealed a gruesome tale 

of brains devoured by wild snail. 

Inkling #16: for better or for worse

Grandpa went and lost his teeth 

now Grandma has to chew his meat.

Inkling #15: Harold

Harold, with his vertical smile, 

was one in whom there was no guile.

Inkling #14: brown noser

for Sunday Sketches

Sammy with his stuck up nose 

got it stuck there in that pose.

Inkling #12: chomping at the bit

So afraid he'd lose his dentures -  

sadly, Gramps refused adventures.

Inkling #11: bah

Not only did he grow a beard, 

he tried so hard a horn appeared.
