Ima Ryma Poems

'If I did not laugh, I should die, '
Abe Lincoln was said to have said
To his Cabinet as to why
An amusing book he had read
...

In 1962 he came
To public view on the T.V.
Gawwwww-leeeee Gomer Pyle was his name.
Shazam, he came from Mayberry.
...

A naked mole rat I do be
Taking a rest from digging chore,
As like most of my colony,
I just keep digging more and more.
...

A man and wife and child were lost,
Driving in a blizzard of snow.
Their car stalled from a clogged exhaust.
There wasn't anyplace to go.

When I still felt my heart and soul.
The sonnet flowed in metered rhyme,
Each sound a tribute to the whole.
...

Once when I had a family,
We shared a home and lives between.
But then, I got caught up in me,
And ran away at seventeen.
...

The powers that be picked a site
Across the field from a playground.
A plant was built, shiny and bright,
Guaranteed to be safe and sound.
...

She lived inside a tall spruce tree,
When one day her home was cut down,
A Christmas tree destined to be,
And trucked off to Big Apple town,
...

Pecos Bill was a little bored.
When a tornado happened by.
What the heck? Pecos jumped aboard.
The funnel whirled into the sky.
...

A man was watching a cocoon;
And for hours, a butterfly
Struggled in vain to be free soon.
So the man cut the cocoon tie.
