HASSLES
A MOUSE IS A MOUSE OF COUSE OF COUSE (TU
COWS)
A mouse is,
so they teach yer, a convenient creature
Nibbling
away on the screen
Point it
and tap on its left back flap
For new
sites a mouse is so keen
Now you can
get by, on keyboard keys can rely
If only
you know shortcut codes
But THIS
mouse clicking Ms. is no shortcut whizz
Her mouse
goes down and nothing uploads

Re: Have you ripped out its ball and given it a scrub?
Hassles are Hassles
Hassles are
relative
To where
you're at
Some are
a nuisance
Like feeding
the cat
Some are
so serious
Losing a
life
Some are
imaginary
Visions
of strife
Today we
have hassles
Changing
the house
While others
are moaning
At changing
a mouse
No matter
what
Or wherever
you be
Hassles
are hassles
For you
and me
slug
Hassles are Hassles
As with computers,
hassles with house
Are usually
caused by yourself;
What was
wrong with your house before?
It had a
loo and a shelf.
I've eaten
off the floor of your house
On various
occasions.
The crumbs
from last time would have fed
A host of
U.S. of A-sians.

What doth a Hassle Be?
Oh what,
pray tell, is a hassle?
..I haven't
heard that word in years!
Oh what,
pray tell, is a hassle?
..something
to have with those beers?
I've got
worries and woes..
..fantasies
and foes..
..fingers
and toes...
..crazy
ebbs and floes...
..tomatoes,
potatoes,...
..washed
down with Strohs...
..enough
to make one comatose..
Oh what doth
a hassle be?
..Please
make this clear to me!
Somehow
I just do not see..
..beyond
that bottle in front of me..
But I'd rather
have a bottle in front of me..
..than a
frontal lobotomy!! (hic)
der blumers
What was that, again?
And so I
sit and scratch my head,
puzzling
how to rhyme hassle.
I'd rather
a different word instead,
this one
gives the english in me quite a rassle.*

Slug Bait!
I've been
hassling with the snails
And hassling
with the slugs
They ate
my little brocc'li plants
I got the
silly mugs

Interbreeding Hassles
Cassock had
a little lamb,
It's fleas
was quite athletic,
And I believe
the way they bit
Poor Cassock
was pathetic.
One followed
her to school one day,
Which broke
the rules, you see.
It made
the children laugh and bray,
That damned
athletic flea.
Now, Hassle
had another pet,
A ten-foot
crocodile,
Which showed
a glittering set of teeth
Within a
ghastly smile.
It followed
him to school one day,
Something
that's not allowed,
And all
the children ran away,
A very brainy
crowd.
This left
Cassock in a tree,
Beyond where
Croc. disported,
And Hassle
there beside her,
Flea-bitten
face distorted.
Well, there
they sat upon a branch
Throughout
a moonlit night;
The heat
that they engendered
Nearly set
the branch alight.
In later
years they married,
Hassle wedded
unto Cassock,
And then
they had a baby,
Whom they
designated Hassock.

Some hassles are worth it
A rose by
any other name
Would still
be just as thorny
The beauty
of a rose can't be
Described
in verses corny
And scratches
from a winter's task
Pruning
a fierce cane
Cannot spoil
the thought of blooms...
Memories
never wane

And some hassles aren't
My wife grows
roses, dozens of the things;
Great, trailing
stems across a concrete wall;
Others tied
to stakes and like fixings;
And all
have this in common, that evil will befall
The innocent
and kindly, who dare to pass too near,
As every
stem's bedizened with the seeds of misadventure,
Rows and
rows of thorny fangs, belike a white shark's denture.
So, when
le fantôme amical goes out to mow the grass,
He's lucky
if the roses fail to stab him in the seat.

Some hassles are worth it
Girls are
trouble it's terribly true
But if they
acted like men then what would we do?
You're kept
on your toes when they change their mind
Much better
than stuck in the same old grind
And clothes
designers would all close down
We'd soon
be reduced to uniform brown
Homes wouldn't
be real homes at all
But more
like a pigsty or horse's stall
I can live
with explosions of temper and whinges
With panic
attacks and crying binges
As long
as the hassles are all outweighed
By smiles
and style and nothing too staid

What Rhymes With Hassle?
I suppose
bubonic plague
Has erstwhile
made the mass ill
But, these
days, I'm inclined to doubt
That it
will be a hassle.
(However,
if there's bodies all around,
Perhaps
the gas'll.)
If you decorate
your clothes,
As any comely
lass'll
You may
find your fat behind
Embellished
by a tassel.
That exhausts
the rhymes we have
For hassle
- that's no loss -
We can't
rhyme castle with it here
Beneath
the Southern Cross.
Funny how
the kindly folk,
Who leave
their paw-marks here,
Speak the
same, except they don't,
But all
think beer is beer!

The Castle of Hassle
Hassle, Hassle
Just build
me a castle
High above
the stars..
Away from
all the cars..
Hassle, Hassle
Up to my
tassle..
Fly me to
the moon..
(maybe next
June)
Hassle, Hassle
You know
what methinks?
Here in
this castle
It stinks.
