Harbinger: Jude Anticipates Spring

MLB Spoon

“Bang the Drum Slowly”:

De Niro show'd range.

Sang the bum, drolly:

“A little spare change…?”

     Moral:

Take me out of the ball game.

StudSpoon

My kings beat your ladies.
Read 'em 'n' weep!
Victory gardens:
weed 'em...'n' reap!
     Moral:
Whose deal meal is it...?

McSpoon

Pan-global meme of Western Civ:

Chicken McNugget.

For Guinness, Cage and Jagger live:

Nick ‘n’ Mick chug it.

     Moral:

It’s good for you.

TeaSpoon

Choice early tea…? He’ll tell no lie.

His…? Bacon and eggs.

The tortured’s plea: “Just let me die.”

He’s achin’… and begs.

     Moral:

For me…? Decaf -- but just a half.

Spoon for the Holidays

Magi in threes…?

“I Saw Three Ships.”

You, George, view bees;

I, Shaw, see thrips.

GBS (more or less)

Spoomelier

My favorite red...?

     Drop dead!"

Trio cum Plio-

Heckle & Jeckyle & Hyde:

1 and 2 are, for suicide, tried.

3 steps forth, pleads the fifth,

then comes down with “Le Dyphth.”

(April Kalends, for sure...though no Ide.)

Heckle & Jeckyle & Hyde

need initials to linen applied.

"HRH" they'd once seen 

sewn on towels of the Queen.

They agree on those three -- modified.

(More to come: a work in progress) 

COVentry Carol or the Nonsense He Knows

     I've 
call'd for COVES who don’t get captur'd, 
COVES who don’t get caught. 

     I’m 
circumspect re COVENS, where Dem's 
witch-hunt raids get wrought.

     I'm 
COVETOUS of cash...'cuz I crave
capital...a lot!

     My 
habit’s been to rake coin in. (Through 
COVIN, oft as not.)

     Cook'd 
capers call for COVER-UPS. Of 
those I've caused a bevy.
     With 
lingual coinage, too, I'm clever. 
(Google my ‘COVFEFE.’)

     Now, 
nasty Chinese COVID-19's 
vast catastrophe!

     Drumpf's
vocable- (his V O C-) CO-
VALENT...? 'C O V-.'

Xmaspoon

The kitsch Darren scored...?
A major award.
The gamble adored...?
A wager amour'd.
     Moral:
Drink your freakin' Ovaltine!
