A Play on Crunch
Day in and day out I does look forward to lunch,
In de hotel I hear it is dinner at a wedding it is brunch.
In dese hard times there is a noticeable crunch,
Dah’s because people still eating ain’t dem a silly bunch?
A Collection of Words
Bunch dem flowers
dey,
Put dem in a bouquet.
Nobody like dem en serving hey!
Foolie, you can’ see dis is a buffet?
Yes, there is an ‘Ell’!
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling hear my bell!
Um is right in de corner where I fell.
See right over dey by de uncovered well?
Dat is exactly how my head get swell.
Present, Sir!
To receive a present
oh, that is very pleasant!
Yesterday’s past, the future’s not yet, today’s the present.
If she’s not present
then she’s not here you must record her absence,
Present de present at de present time if she’s present:
that’s more than tense.

All is Fair
Ah, yes de fair
is done!
Today’s fair,
check de sun!
All that’s just is fair.
The fair-skinned
girl went to the fair on a fair day and won fair and square.
Excuses
You would you should you could
But you hadn’t
and you didn’t.
You can’t you shan’t you won’t
Ignore an important task, you mustn’t.
A Grave Matter
It’s a grave
undertaking
To see a body not waking
Undertaker salary making
Soil over grave
raking.
The Santa Fantasy
How could a fat
Santa down a narrow chimney climb?
How could his white
beard never black soot find?
Why is he not charged
for breaking in my house,
Which doesn’t
have a chimney not even for a mouse?
