Ivy

Ivy clings to the garden wall,
A bird perched on it trills a call,
Statues stand, stiff as soldiers,
Roman ones stop at the shoulders.

The surrounding forest is emerald green,
Disturbance is not to be seen,
Sunlight filters from the top,
Emerging from burrows, Rabbits hop,
The shoots they eat are wild and green,
Like the Ivy that clings to the wall.

Screaming at the dark

I wake up from a nightmare,
Scared half to death,
I still think he's chasing me,
I draw a deep breath.

Morning should be soon,
I'll wait for the break of day,
I'm going to wait for the larks song,
I know I'll be okay.

Where is the morning?
Where is the lark?
The nightmare hasn't ended,
Screaming at the dark.

Math Problems

Oh Teacher what do you mean?
8+8 is not 16!
Teacher dear, it's 88,crystal clear!
1+6 is not seven, and 1+1 equals 11!
Oh, Teacher, where did you train?
Is there anything in your brain?
As you can see, I am the best!

What do you mean I failed my addition test?!?

Henry The VIII

Good King Henry is fat as a boar,
He needed a Queen, that was the law,
Bolyen said:"Oh God, he's a smelly old sod!"
As her head rolled onto the floor!
