HANDLE
TOWN
CROWN

In a handle, there was a clown,
Who twirled and danced all around.
He brought laughter to the town,
And everyone cheered at the sound.

With a hat that looked like a crown,
He never wore a single frown.
The silliest clown in the town,
Bringing joy and fun all year round!

Nincompoop

Oh nincompoop, so silly and kind,
You often leave me smiling, I don’t mind.
Your silly ways and funny acts,
Bring joy and laughter, that’s a fact.

You trip and stumble, but it’s okay,
You brighten up the dreariest day.
Beneath your goofiness, you’re really great,
You make life fun, we appreciate.

So, here’s to you, oh nincompoop dear,
Your happy spirit is always near.
In this serious world, you’re a delight,
Your cheerful presence makes everything bright.

Making the Leap

M.A.D. Works

When an old car dies and no longer can be repaired
It’s time for a new one, a decision to be dared
Going to the car dealership, a stampede of horses
Senses on overload, navigating myriad courses

It’s so draining, makes you want to sleep and forget
But the need to get places, it’s a looming threat
Forgetting about it and going without a car
Seems tempting, but reality isn’t that far

Reminded of the places you need to reach
The search for a new car, a lesson in teach
Amidst the chaos, a vehicle to find
To navigate the roads, a peace of mind

CRINGE
COWER
BRUISE

I cringe and cower when I hear yelling
The pain and past bruises in my mind appear
Reminding me of past times, my heart is swelling
With memories that fill me with fear.

But I stand tall and face the day
Knowing that I am stronger now
Those painful memories may never go away
But I won’t let them hold me down.

lawyer

Larry the lawyer can tell no lie
His honesty shines, you can’t deny
In the courtroom, he stands so tall
His integrity admired by all

With every word, his truth is clear
Clients trust him, without any fear
No deception, no deceit in sight
Larry’s honesty is his guiding light

Hometown

In the heart of my hometown, memories reside,
Where laughter and tears, in harmony, confide.
Familiar faces, streets I know by heart,
A place of belonging, a cherished start.

Mercy

Oh, mercy me, the times we are living in,
Natural disasters, food being stolen,
No one seems to care about anyone else but themselves,
I am scared for what lies ahead.

The world seems to be in disarray,
With troubles and worries at every turn,
It’s hard to find a sense of peace,
When so much around us seems to burn.

Oh mercy me, the times we are living in,
Let’s strive for kindness and empathy,
For in caring for each other,
We can create a better world for you and me.

Wireless

Tracy tirelessly watched the wireless,
For her artist to come on and inspire.
She was determined to stay on, even late into the night,
But her body had other plans, it did tire.

Slowly but surely, her eyes closed, drifting to sleep,
Not long after, her artist appeared on the wireless,
She missed the moment, her heart began to weep,
But she knew tomorrow, she would again be tireless.

Candy Corn Artwork

M.A.D. Works

Candy corn is one of my favorite candies, especially during Halloween when its bright colors bring joy and nostalgia. The yellow, orange, and white remind me of childhood memories of trick-or-treating. I wanted to draw a cute piece to add to my collection, capturing its playful charm as it stands out with a delightful simplicity that always makes me smile.

To dance and sing in the pouring rain,

In his colorful, flowing robe, what a sight so plain!

CRUMB

THUMB

I have a craving for a tasty crumb,
A tiny treat that makes me hum.
I eat it up, then feel so numb,
But it’s worth it for my tasty sum.
