    Why angels could drink coffee but won’t and why devils would drink coffee but can’t

    In heaven we’re cured of our vices.
    In hell nothing’s cured but the prices
    Are outrageous and may
    Inflate any day
    And good coffee’s as dear as fresh ice is.

    In Heaven the coffee's sublime
    And they serve it with cream all the time.
    But down in the fire
    They use a supplier:
    The same as United Airlines'.

    Slant Rhyme

    Oh, why can't two words simply rhyme
    Exactly? Would it be a crime
    If verbiage bent
    To poetic intent
    At the end of each metrical lime?

    Allowing slant rhyme increases the already senseless nonsense

    Those allowing a rhyme that is slant
    Just encourage those poets who can’t
    Figure out how to rhyme
    Any lemon or lime.
    Any nose knows a rose is a plant.

    A limerick's a rhythm precise;
    It requires a roll of the dice.
    Never jump for a fast rhyme
    For there on the last line
    You still have to rhyme with--oh Chrsit!

    Party Time

    There was a big fuss called Convention
    That stirred up internal dissension;
    We're stronger together
    Sang birds of a feather,
    And other poetic invention.

    There’s nothing more enjoyable than a political convention to give one that rush of meaningfulness

    Those conventions I’m planning to miss
    Where the bull looks for someone to kiss.
    There are words and replies
    Wound-up cheering and cries
    Then the bull hits the fan spraying bliss.

    Body Politic

    Too speedily comes the election,
    The people's own sovereign selection.
    Will it be the old lass
    With the pantsuited *ss
    Or her rival, the orange erection?

    Whoever believes in their righteousness the longest wins

    Useless victories predict a loss.
    Unexpectedly give them a toss.
    When you push on some fat
    It reacts much like that
    And I wonder who’s really the boss?

    Michelle killed it too

    There once was a confab in Philly
    Which contrasted Cleveland's silly
    Mr. Kahn gets credit
    The Dem's didn't edit
    At the end of the day I'm for Hilly
    Uhhhh...

    The monster, his damsel and her dragon

    The monster was happy he had
    A damsel but she wasn’t glad.
    She had a pet dragon
    She rode as a wagon
    Whom her monster shot down being bad.

    There once was a shy necromancer
    Who never made much of a dancer;
    He tangoed a specter,
    Then bashfully pecked her:
    She vanished in flame for an answer.

    After being exhausted by the dance of life, Jeffrey sat down

    Dancing requires some skill
    To make gravity play with you, still
    If you fall in her lap
    She might give you a slap,
    Or worse, let you do what you will.

    There once was a limerick I made:
    Its second line shocked an old maid;
    Its third line was rude
    (As it ended in "nude"),
    But its fourth could have got a nun laid.

    There once was a limerick I wrote
    Describing a randy old goat.
    It tended to corny
    With wordplay on horny,
    And could rhyme only with petticoat.
