Ima Ryma Poems

Ellsworth Soares, a U.S. G.I.
Came back home after World War II,
But not a college kind of guy,
The G.I. Bill he did not do.
...

The ghetto, that's where he was born,
And that's where he was gonna die.
His life was something sad to mourn.
Death waited for its turn nearby.
...

I am the world's most famous frog.
Jim Henson made me what I am,
A handsome rag with dialogue,
Your host on the Muppet program.
...

Bob Hope gave soldiers fifty years
Of U.S.O. entertainment.
Through times of war and peace, the cheers
Charged Hope's heart wherever he went.
...

I have been a beggar for years,
Up and down the city streets where
This here old gal best profiteers,
Asking the folks if they could spare
...

President Reagan and the Queen
Went for a horse ride at his ranch
The Queen's horse farted so obscene,
Causing Her Majesty to blanche.
...

Madagascar hissing cockroach,
See us at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
African Journey we encroach,
In mass behind glass just for you.
...

I, the Washington Monument,
Was built in Washington, D.C.
George made a name, that's evident,
So thanks to him, I came to be.
...

Leonard Nimoy, do rest in peace.
Generations watched your Star Trek.
Mr. Spock's role will never cease.
Pointed ears pay off - what the heck!
...

'Jack the Ripper' - the question who?
Inquiring minds still want to know.
And so the media still do
More sequels to this crime biz show.
...
