The Little Nell Poems

Here we have the poetic saga of the sweet and adorable Little Nell.
She's innocent, she's wide-eyed, and she has a habit of getting herself killed.
............a lot.

Just below, we have a small sampling of the humorously tragic Little Nell poems. The actual books (remember books?) can be purchased right here

Well, volume 5 of The Little Nell Poems is in the works; the poems being finalized and illustrations a-happening.

Little Nell went picnic-ing
And wore her taffy pants.
She died when both of Nellie's legs
Were gobbled off by ants.

Little Nell ate roadkill
And then ran out of luck.
Her diet didn't do her in.
She got hit by a truck.

Little Nell tried yoga
And died as if on cue.
She went into her first pose
And snapped herself in two.

Little Nell wore suet shoes;
A pair of "Wides" not "Narrows".
But she passed on when set upon
By flocks of hungry sparrows.

Little Nell once bit her tongue
And found she liked the taste.
So she just kept on chewing
'Til she gnawed off half her face.

Little Nell baked chicken pie
To try and catch a fella.
Her only flaw, she at it raw
And died of Salmonella.

Little Nell wore contacts
To help her sight, of course.
She'd be here if she put them in
With just a bit less force.

Little Nell spun 'round and 'round
And then she spun some more.
She spun around a few more times
And fell right through the floor.

Little Nell had allergies
To dust and lawns just mowed-ed.
She pinched her nose to block a sneeze
And Nellie’s head exploded.

Little Nell went hiking
And she wore her favorite bonnet.
A hunter took her down because
The hat had antlers on it.

Little Nell liked great big snakes
And Little Nell liked magic.
Little Nell combined the two.
The end result was tragic.

Little Nell just loved the sun
Of this there is no doubt.
One day she stared right into it
And burned her eyeballs out.

Little Nell fed 'gators
In a pen out on her lawn.
She'd be here if she hadn't had
Her lamb chop ear rings on.

Little Nell bought sharks as pets
And fed them rainbow trout.
But feeding sharks by hand was bad
As Nellie soon found out.

Little Nell loved jewelry
And Nell's a wretched swimmer.
She dove in, sank, and can't be reached
Not even with the skimmer.

Little Nell played darts one time.
She passed-on in mid-match.
But Nellie never threw a dart.
She thought it best to catch.

Little Nell had bats as pets.
She raised them all from babies.
Nell got bit and perished from
A vicious case of rabies.

Little Nell wrote 50 novels
'Neath her favorite lamp.
She started on the fifty-first
And died of writers cramp.

Little Nell had problems
With the stapler at her desk.
This last workplace scenario
Was less than picturesque.

Little Nell wore rocket shoes
So she could jump much higher.
She put the shoes on upside-down
And set her hands on fire.

Little Nell had hiccups
Of that there was no doubt.
She hiccup-ed once with so much force,
Her head turned inside out.

Little Nell was slicing ham
Just like her boss had told her.
But Nell was overzealous
And she carved up to her shoulder.

Little Nell tried herding cows
At a dude ranch in El Paso.
She went to rope a stray
But then got strangled by her lasso.

Little Nell wore razor blades
Through which her necklace threaded.
She heard a noise and turned to look
And promptly was beheaded.

Little Nell liked throwing rocks
From pebble-sized to boulders.
A heavy one took Nellie's arms
And wrenched them from her shoulders.
