Hockey

There was once a horse and a jockey,

Whose friendship had grown a bit rocky;

To settle the score, and avert total war,

They played a quick game of ice hockey.

Farmer

There was once an eccentric farmer,

Who dressed in a full suit of armor;

He played on a flute, to harvest beetroot,

A trick he learned from a snake charmer.

Sac De Cul

In the city of Sac De Cul,

The sites are remarkably dull;

Half finished skyscrapers, trash cans filled with papers,

And a man who thinks he’s a gull.

Hypnotize

There's a moth who was wisely advised,

To reject the light other moths prized;

To repel the bright glare, that brings death and despair,

He had himself hypnotized.

Sketchbook Show and Tell #6: Monuments

In the same vein and around the same time as my Fantasy Skyscraper Drawings, I sketched out a few monument that I  envisioned for various locales around San Francisco. Two of them are statues with a Liberty-esque influence. The other is a fountain, held up with what looks like a family of acrobats. I hope you enjoy!

Sitar

There's a cow who was playing sitar,

For the patrons at a local bazaar;

And because there's no harma, in spreading good karma,

He collected some tips in a jar.

Boundary Line

The new trend in interior design,

Is to layout your own boundary line;

Take a pen out and trace, your section of space,

Then install a great big welcome sign.

Wedge

There's a pigeon on top of a ledge,

Eating oranges sliced by the wedge;

A piece caused a big slip when it slid from his grip,

And fell down right over the edge.

Mystery Meat

Luncheon time just isn't complete,

Without a strange mystery meat;

Today's dripping-with-grease, gravy-soaked-masterpiece,

Has the odor and shape of old feet.

Pillory

There’s a bad baby girl named Hilary,

Who loved to steal heavy artillery;

On the day she was caught, her folks went and bought,

a crib equipped with a pillory.
