Three Limericks That Mention Animals

“Sam Wanted to Rescue a Cat from a Tree”

October 23, 2018

A black cat was stuck in a tree
Sam wanted to help set him free
He climbed for the cat
But then saw it’s a bat
So he jumped and flew like a bee

“Colony of Ants”
August 30, 2018

She woke to a colony of ants
That was crawling right into her pants
She screamed and she ran
Bumped into the fan
That blew them away toward the plants

“A Bee Sat on a Flower”
August 29, 2018

A bee sat down on a flower
She sat still for many an hour
They thought she was dead
But she went on ahead
Tanning beneath the sun shower

Poem: Visiting Your Gravesite

I went to the cemetery to pay you a visit
But when I got to your gravesite
Tears flooded my face once more
It’s been almost two years since your passing
And yet there is no monument erected in your honor
No loving words etched in memory of you
All that exists is the ugly name tag
Stuck into a pile of dirt

When will that change
When will I finally see the headstone
That reminds us of your presence
That brings to life
The everlasting memories you left us
When you went on your way

The scars never truly fade
And find themselves reawakening
From time to time
Like at the moment I visit you
Only to find that your gravesite is naked
And the picture of you
Along with the loving words
Is only in my mind
And not for the world to see

Poem: Love Is Priceless

You can’t put a price on love
Nor can you buy it
So don’t let anyone
Shower you with material things
To get you to love them
Especially if they are the kind of people
That don’t deserve your love

Poem: Tomorrow Is Not Promised

Tomorrow is not promised
So live every day like it is your last

Make sure to squeeze every ounce
Of happiness and pleasure
Excitement and positive energy
From the day that falls upon you

Make sure that all your dreams
And everything that you envision
Materializes into reality

Because you never know
Which day will turn into your last

Poem: Another Run in with a Clown

I had another run in with a clown
That clown looked exactly like me
Except he had it all figured out
And here I am without a clue
Of who I am meant to be
What I am meant to be doing
And how I can force myself
To make things happen
So when I have another run in with a clown
I won’t think of myself as one

Poem: A Different Outlook on Life

A different outlook on life
Is what I need to see the light

No more pretending
No more pain
There’s so much here
For me to gain

So much to do
And so much time
To make things right
To make me shine

I can’t surrender
I must fight
To finally win
And set things right

Poem: Timeless Love

She stands there searching for something new
Inside his blue eyes like lovers do
Lost days forgotten, new ones ahead
For her no longer is true love dead
She’s found her soul mate, her best friend
She’ll be his partner until the end

No matter what she won’t let him fall
Won’t put him down, make him feel small
She’ll be his anchor, she’ll be his rock
She’ll be his vessel, she’ll be his dock
Supporting him through all ups and downs
And never letting her loved one drown

She hopes that he’ll do just the same
Be there for her through every game
That’s thrown her way by life unknown
Saving her from being overthrown
By her emotions and her fears
That hold her back and bring the tears

A bond like theirs can’t be broken
A timeless love now has awoken
It’s meant to be, it’s meant to flame
It’s meant to grow and have no shame
Forever written in the stars above
She’s always dreamed of this kind of love
