Les Limerick Missourables

There once was a girl from Missouri,
who couldn't help but to worry.
She was chronically late,
it was her principal trait.
And so really all she did was hurry.

I once had a job in St. Louis,
which was so easy a monkey could do it.
I just had to answer the phones,
without making audible groans.
but I guess the patients-to-be could hear it.

The cold air came in from the field
up the porch where potatoes were peeled.
When Venus came out in the West
and the belt on Orion fluoresced,
all the heat in our breath was revealed.

When I'm changing the oil in my car,
I must look like a boy from afar?
Do I look like a dude cutting grass?
Because even gay boys take a pass.
(sigh) But at least I won't be drafted to war.

Homemade lemonade and tractor pulls,
summertime love and backyard pools.
My loves from the middlemost state,
that would make the Muddy run straight.
These memories of my youth could make fools.
