Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago.
------------------------------------------------
Inky moon and smelly sun
I could drink a hot cross bunny
If you think that that sounds strange
Check my jeans out made of honey
In the Winter they look neat
In the Summer they smell sweet
But when I sit down it’s not funny
Then they melt and go all runny
------------------------------------------------

And here's another one I found from my collection. I wrote this one back in 2009. It's not such a nonsense rhyme as the other one, but I like it anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------
The clean white sheet invites the pen
To consummate with inking stain
With thoughts and words and doodles all
Spread across the waiting scroll
The sheet is evidence for all
To see the wedding vows inscribed
In permanence the siren call
Of wit now preserved for all time

Lastly, I wrote this ode to a hat stand a few years ago as well.
-------------------------------------------------
Hat and coat stand in the hall
Who’s the fairest of them all
Who’s the best if judged by looks
Who must stretch to meet your hooks
Who hangs up the best creation
Who’s a credit to the nation
Who’s the richest (royal hatter?)
Who’s the poorest (does it matter?)
Who spends time to clean you down
Who’s the one who turns you round
All these things you know and more
Yet that’s not what you’re put here for
We hang our coats upon your hooks
Umbrellas lodged into the nooks
Around your feet among your toes
You watch the human traffic flows
The days roll past the week in motion
Sometimes I just get the notion
You’re alive but hidden well
Protected by a magic spell
You spread your arms above us all
While standing silent in the hall
