(senryu)The Sunday Funnies Of Old
withlimerick addendum part seven
Tigerremembered
Delightful kid group
‘Tis magnificently drawn
Eternal childhood
Tiger… Wes
(doggerel)Peanuts Checks Out Tiger
Julian and Schroeder often have sinus
Punkin-head is another Linus
Pigpen would hang out with old Hugo
Bonnie is Lucy with bangs as you know
Old Tiger there is none other than
Charlie Brown is a Suzy fan
Stripe would chase sticks for Snoopy
Tillie The Toiler remembered
Office type doings
Secretarial idol
Mac the hopeless swain
Tillie The Toiler…Wes
I never did really read this thing
But was aware of a familiar ring
Mac and Tillie of course
Would instantly divorce
Should the fates decree they have a fling
Believe It Or Not remembered
Ripley collection
Miscellaneous oddballs
Authenticated
Believe It Or Not… Wes
Old Ripley cashed a simple tact
‘The unbelievable will always attract’
Don’t think he drew it
But everyone knew it
How could you ignore fantastical fact
Barney Google remembered
Rustification’s site
Those other Americans
Wife three times his size
Barney Google…Wes
You gotta go back for great Barney
Full of such nonsense and blarney
He of Googley eyes
And constant surprise
With a race horse he’d brought from Killarney
The Phantom remembered
Menacing figure
Agent of right it would seem
Legendary ghost
The Phantom… Wes
An aura of mystery much like the shadow
Checking out all the scenes where the bad go
(His dog was quite vicious
approaching malicious)
He’d a loneliness really quite sad though
Dennis The Menace remembered
Mister Wilson’s pain
Dennis and Joey are pals
Rampantly roist’rous
Dennis The Menace.. Wes
Ev’ry one knew a kid much like Dennis
There’s one in Khartoum and in Venice
Full of mischief and fun
But at Christmas was one
Of the strips not to dare miss(tremennis)
Henry remembered
Head gorgeously formed
Never a word is spoken
Language no problem
Henry…Wes
When I first encountered this lad
Why I felt just a little bit sad
He’s unable to speak
But week after week
There’s a quaint humor there to be had
I hope you enjoyed one more trip down memory lane.
