MR. BUSHYBROW EGGHEAD

#2 of the FAILED WRESTLER SERIES

This fellow was named by a consortium of neighborhood kids who were watching me paint in my backyard. Learning from a master, I suppose. Smart children.

This wrestler had eyebrows so bushy
They impeded his ability to see
And shaped like an egg
from head to his leg
He'd always end up on his tushy.

Not my best poem. Bid high, and maybe I could afford to go to limerick school.

OPEN YARD

Our yard has become the gathering place for the local youths to paint, chase the dog, and play the canjo. Sure we put up a fence, but the door is open. Just not for the dog. She has to stay in the yard.

Here's some more of their latest works:

SKULL TREE

I for one am strongly against the commercialization of Halloween. It's just wrong that such a holiday is now a marketing opportunity to hawk one's wares. I blame the evil corporations for sucking the life out of Halloween, and life itself.

Anyway, buy my Halloween card. We just bought a fence for the yard, well, actually, it's for the dog, but whatever, we're poor.

CAP'N COMB-OVER

This is the first of what I expect to be a very popular series, FAILED WRESTLERS. Here is Cap'n Combover. He was fit and skilled enough, but fans couldn't get over his poorly thought out hair structure.

"The Combover" was what he was called
Throughout his career that he brawled
When it came to hair
There wasn't much there;
He should have tried going bald.
