Something to look forward to :) A nursery rhyme ! Dislike dem bugs.
there once was an old man called cannonball
who hardly had any hair on his head - at all
while he looked rather grievous
he was often mischievous
his drink of choice was a spritz of geritol

Lol!
The snake( another no nonsensical poem)
An angry majesty is she
When she rises her head.
Yet she is used
to creeping on the ground.
Her printed dresses
are unique
and fill with awe.
She uses the arm
of the destitute.
Her venom is legend.

Interesting... Metaphor ?
Into the Whirlwind
Fleetingly fast, it tries, it tries
The Black-bellied whistling duck
Full fledging fast, it tries to fly
The whirlwind approaches
the duck whistles louder and louder
The frantic excitement -
A modern day troubadour - it flies
Into the whirlwind, its whistles crack -
One feather gone, another, and another
"Quack !" goes the Black-bellied whistling duck
And "quack !", then "quack !" again
Into the whirlwind
A wailing "QUACK !"

Maybe, but not intentional.
Ai! My sympathies are all with the duck!
The Sun
After gray cold days
Sunshine!
I wanted to greet the sun,
as people did in the old times,
but the little balcony of my home
is too prosaic.
Then I wanted to write an ode to the sun,
Exalting his warmth,
his generosity
in giving back
the colors of life.
But I can´t write odes,
so these words are just
the expression of my happiness!

Enjoyed very much ! :)
A Man From Space
There once was a man from space
Who when found out gave quite a chase
He caused quite a kerfuffle
When he jumped into his duffel
Disappearing without a trace

The woman that went into Space
There once was a Mrs. Duffle
(don´t ask me about Mr. Duffle)
living in the town of Muffle
with a golden hen, called Ruffle.
But one day there was a wild chase
and Duffle, Ruffle, Muffle
and even Puffle
(who wasn´t part of the story)
vanished with grace
into space
without leaving trace.

Extraterrestrials - A Didactic Cinquain
Extraterrestrials
Weird looking
Observing, laughing, lost
Watching our world go crazy
Aliens

Which kitten?
Existence. An attempted didactic sextain
Being born- crying, kicking
Darwin
Playing, crying, laughing
Freud
Working, loving, grumbling
Marx

Puffle !
Love the poem :) Poor Marx grumbling.
Omelets are dreamy for breakfast
I like them with spinach
That green hue -
That didgeridoo background music
really whets my appetite
Flapjacks on the side
Flapjacks - the true source of of vitamin F,
buttered liberally to slither down the throat
easily
Sometimes a bagel (though rare): sliced with
strawberry crème cheese slathered on...
Bagels make me shiver
And lastly - a side of bacon or
sausage (or both :) )
with juice and hot cocoa
to wash it all down
Then a nap for the rest of the day !

Lol! It seems your appetite is ok! Learned a new word
Tapioca Flapjack
The most neutral of Flapjacks
!t looks at me
In its crisp Majesty.
Without an own flavor
It welcomes
all fillings in the world:
Cheese
Palm hearts
veggies
Apples
Nutella
Banana
and even fishes
from the
Susquehanna
(but only for the sake
of the rhyme)
Of all the Flapjacks the most quick
It´s ready in three minits.

Lol ! Love the rhyme insertion !! No real appetite just now - my mind was just wandering :)
A Man With COVID-19
There once was a man who liked life
Who got COVID-19 with all of its strife
He'd rather be out in public
Of the Golden Pine Republic
Rather than being in quarantine with his wife

Snif!
A "V" story
There once was a virus
Virulent
Vicious
Villainous
Voracious( and what more epithets there are starting with "V")
To confront it we invented the Vaccine:
Vibrant
Vivacious
Virtuous
and specially
viable!
This was no vulgar strife,
Vaccine 1 versus virus1
Vaccine 2 versus virus 2
Vaccine 3 versus virus 3...
At the end
The vexed virus vanned and
valour was victorious.
