Lazy Reader
I was a lazy reader as a kid…one nutrition label on a
box of Cap’n Crunch and it was nap time.~M.J. McGuire

My New Books Fall Into Humor/Parody Category
My two new books: Meme, Myself, and Jesus and 101 Fake Books You Must Read Before You Die, fall into the humor/parody categories. Both books use some poetic elements and imagery, but are quite different than the children's poetry that I write. I believe my readers will enjoy the puns, wit, word play, and tone of these two works.
Thank you for supporting my writing, whether it's light verse, children's poetry, limericks, one liner jokes, or parody.

Bats
Begin to feed at night, return by break of day.
Aerodynamic and agile in flight…
Take blood from others and don’t repay…
Scare lots children with fear of “the bite.”

The Impossumble Possum
O possum, O possum,
You’re impossumbly hairy,
Impossumbly drowsy,
Impossumbly wary.
You walk on fence tops,
Slide through barbed wire.
Your teeth are jagged,
Just like a vampire.
O possum O possum,
You’re impossumbly hairy,
Impossumbly drowsy,
Impossumbly wary.
You think you’re an oversized
Ratatouille
You hang in the treetops like,
Old King Louie.
O possum O possum,
You’re impossumbly hairy,
Impossumbly drowsy,
Impossumbly wary.
But, as far as marsupial quadrupeds go,
You might just possumbly steal the show.

No Dads Just Mummies
Egyptians weren’t too fond of dads,
But with moms, they were pretty chummy.
-No pops inside the sarcophagus,
Just a sweet old fashioned mummy!
