Whimsy gate

In the garden,
very late,
door-related scandal
can only be gategate.

Allow the ox

When recently disgruntled
I regained my gruntlement
when accosted (at two dollars ten)
by Rob, who was a gent
of a well known local family
whose businesses include
some sort of demolition
which they often must re fuse.
It laxed me once and then again
and I'm so full in grate
that I've been chatting as I nap;
I just lie down and state.

Chupa what?

While commuting to my jobra
out of darkness came a blobra
Heard no "obra" or "cadobra" --
could it be a chupacabra?

eltit

By simply adding an "i -n-g"
you gerundize a verb, you see.
But if you add a "g-n-i"
that verb becomes confusgni.

Rhymes with Orange

Nothing rhymes with orange,
which makes some people sad.
So from now on -- and starting soon --
Orange shall rhyme with moon and June
(you simply say it bad).
