Five Humorous (I hope) poems written after seeing Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream." These all date back to 2003 >>>You'll either smile or groan, I suspect!

Midsummer #1:   
 
As the stars crossed,
and lovers rolled off the table,
my fantasies went into orbit.
Oh, I have slept
In the whispering forest,
been topped by Bottom
as the sound of crickets
became galactic thunder
and I awoke with a
midsummer’s night scream!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Midsummer #2:

Mortals,
What fools are we
that fantasize
about the size?
Scooping up our desires,
dishing them out,
topping them with wet nuts,
whipped with a cherry on top
of a delicious
midsummer’s ice cream!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
 
Midsummer #3:

I stitched it as best I could.
yet, bending over after I exited the pool,
everyone heard it…
z-z-z-z-z-z – r-r-r-r-r-r  rip.
 
Next time I’ll ask
a pro
to sew
so I’ll have a
midsummer’s tight seam!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Midsummer #4:

Tired of finding droppings each morn,
lamenting the thought
I would be a murderer,
I set the trap,
later heard the SNAP-ZAP
of my
midsummer’s mice scheme!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Midsummer #5:

Hot dog, soda and peanuts in my hands,
the home team Mets rise for the 7th inning stretch;
a series of events (not the world series, of course),
brought this Floridian back to the north east.
 
I did NOT stand up when most everyone did…
this Marlin fan just sat and ate,
knowing the Mets were not going to win-it-all
because tonight they weren't
midsummer’s right team! **
