Black Square
Canadian Frenchman, Francois,
Speaks English in heavy patois.
He bought a new chair—
It’s black and it’s square—
He’s proud of his soft, new noir squoir.
Steely’s Homonym
A smithy, the name of McFeely,
Was proud of his battle site, really.
He wrought up a marker
But as it grew darker
Foes stole the steely steel stele.
Antiseptic Pervert
It turns out that Louis Pasteur
Was, psychically, less than all pure.
A room he’d secure
With a hidden peep viewer:
Old Louis was quite the voyeur!
True Scots
Empirically writing, John Locke
Philosophized next to a loch.
The loch was Loch Lomand:
All Gaelic—not Norman’d,
So John Locke’s loch book was a lock.
Pianist Speaking Disorder
The lissome composer, Franz Liszt,
Was affected by labial lisps.
Hungarian Rhapsodies
Proved the right remedies
To render Liszt’s lisp to a wisp.

Conundrum to me
That spurs me to drink down Budweiser.
Feline Discrimination
Of all of the cat kingdom’s paucities
That lie in the onerous laws, kitties,
Passed by the hogs
Adjured by the dogs:
The ban of construction of paw cities.
Southern Gangster
The gangster called Alphonse Capone
Went South to get a new phone.
“Our phone’s here are pone-y,
And not macaroni.”
Capone got a pone-phone to own.
Probate Conundrum
A will-maker, twisted and silly,
Remarked to a client named Willy:
“A willer may will
“Anything in a will,
“So will he will wills? Willy, will he?”
