Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Apples, but No Pears


Nature gave me an apple tree,

But be pears I really did crave.

Apples okay, but not for me.

So a lot of wood that tree gave

Me, after I had chopped it down.

Using the wood, I then built up

The pear totem god of renown

That would give me lots of pears, yup.

While I built this, a raven was

Near, maybe some pears waiting for.

Then I felt uneasy becuz

It kept on quothing, "Nevermore."


The more I plead, more I despair,

All my effort and not one pear.

 Cursed by My Beauty


I, Helen, went to Troy from Greece,

Under spell of Aphrodite,

Causing disturbance of what peace

Exited 'tween the kingdoms be.

I was returned to Greece of course

When Troy was defeated in war,

Thanks to trick of the Trojan Horse.

But I was hated all the more

By Greeks and Trojans, who both thought

I was the cause for either side,

That so many uselessly fought,

Because of me, so many died.


I'm sorry that my beauty had

History that made me look bad.

 Bed Ridding


"I think Fluffy's hungry," says her

To him and yes this Fluffy is.

That makes me one hot ball of fur,

When my humans neglect my biz.

In their bedroom in this cat's house,

I know they hope I'll go away,

Maybe go off and chase a mouse,

But I have other paw to play.

I have installed a car jack, yup,

Under their bed where both oft found,

And I begin to jack all up,

Roll off to my need, both be bound.


It seems whenever I want fed,

Both of my humans be in bed.

 Sniffed Us Together


She and I pushed close in packed train.

Same deodorant we both had,

And perked up each scents sense domain,

Causing both of us to feel glad.

Soon after, my girlfriend she is,

And of course I am her boyfriend.

Sharing deodorant, gee whiz,

A train ride to a happy end.

We thank our having common smell

Being the prime connection of

Knowing by our noses to tell

That we were bound to fall in love.


Sharing deodorant a plus,

It's our Secret, just between us.

 Cancer Constellation


My favorite constellation is

Cancer, main reason because I

Came, thanks to Mom's and Dad's done biz

On the 20th of July,

Making Cancer to be called mine,

With all the consequences had

Cuz me being born with this sign,

Whatever happens, good or bad.

Cancer's associated with

The crab that Hercules did slay.

Then goddess Hera in Greek myth

Put the crab in the sky to stay.


Cancer constellation suits me,

Very often crabby I be.

 Return of the White Witch


The White Witch, Queen of Narnia, I

Do enjoy my villainess role.

Sadly, in the tale, killed, I die.

But return to Narnia, my goal.

And when I return, winter will

Again sweep over all my land,

Providing all with bitter chill.

Pevensie children will be banned,

By freezing up the wardrobe door.

Asian, Lion, who killed me once,

I vow will trouble me no more,

All eaten up in my wolf hunts.


Narnia, again my cold domain,

Forever after I will reign.
