I WENT TO VISIT THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH

When I was very young,
I wanted to do much more,
Then, work to raise a family,
So, I decided to explore,

I went to visit the four corners of the earth,
I thought I would find many wonders in distant lands,
But, the swamps, mountains and waters all look the same,
So do all the desert sands,

For many years I traveled,
Across dusty deserts and oceans of foam,
But, when sick and old I found myself,
Back at my childhood home,

I went to visit the four corners of the earth,
Those corners I never found,
For someone forgot to tell me,
That the earth is mostly round.

THE ONLY THING THERE IS TO FEAR

The only that I must fear is that I do not fear enough,
For no matter how things now appear the future will be rough,
So, I drive to the hills,
With my groceries and pills,
And, my mate, the dog and some stuff.

FISHING FOR TIGER SHARKS IN LAKE MICHIGAN

Out on Lake Michigan I did embark,

To try to catch a tiger shark,

But alas, the waters were way too rough,

And, my fishing dinghy is not so tough,

Now, this story has no real surprises,

My little dinghy, it capsizes,

And, I might have swam to a pier or park,

But, I found the jaws of a tiger shark,

And, you know I didn’t feel any pain,

As the shark chomped down upon my brain,

But, I had one bad sensation before my death, 

I smelled the shark's stinky tuna breath.
