Silly Poems

Halloween

Gargoyle masks and super capes

Look around for spooky shapes

Tip-toe flutter with fairy wings

Scary, funny, or crazy things

Tricks or treats as the case may be

Pull a prank and then you flee

Sneak around as a bad-luck black cat

Or seek for blood as a vampire bat

Cut a jack-o-lantern smile

Kids run rampant for a while

Sugar rush and then the crash

Mom and Dad sift through the stash

. . .

Duck Boy

Duck boy of the Botany pond

Eats only snails found out on the lawn

His teeth are all covered in snail slime and shells

His friends have forgotten this boy whose breath smells

Upon his head no more hair will grow

For it has become a fine feathered fro

His toes are all webbed from swimming about

A beak has replaced his fine human snout

And why has this happened, do you suppose?

Do you think this life is the one that he chose?

Be sure to walk quickly, don't linger to stare

Or perhaps in the morning you will find feathers, not hair...

. . .

Lies

I once met a girl with glass in her eyes

she said that it helped to decipher truth from lies

Suppose for a minute, perhaps, that it could...

But I think she'd get tired of not seeing as she should

Lucy Goosey

lucy goosey ate a moosey

but the moose didn't care cause it ate up all her hair

and now the bald goosey is very full of moosey

. . .

Happy 21st Birthday

Golf and alcohol don't mix

And that's why I don't drink and drive

Because, good grief, I'd knock out my teeth

And have to kiss my smile goodbye

. . .

Don't Work Too Hard...

Over strung and stringing out, panties in a twist

Flipping out and flipping in, never have been kissed

Over stressed and under slept, always in a rush

Freaking out and staying in, did I forget to brush?

Over sung and under done, another for the list

Fancies seem to take the cake, another class was missed

Over worked and under paid, working anyway

Finally finish out the week, I guess it went OK

. . .

Sing

Becoming who you want to be

At a molasses pace

Can’t you see?

Take off your blind glasses

You’re not Clark Kent

You’re Superman

And it’s time to fly

Run, leap towards the sky,

Let go of the ground

You can fly

Sing your new song

It’s a tune that you know

From a time not long gone

A time beyond remembering

Because it lies inside you

Under the skin

Within the within

It’s a tune that you know

So sing your new song

The song so old it makes the

Earth young again

Inside of your song

Becoming who you always were

But couldn’t know until

You knew what no one knew

You knew the true you

The one who lives inside

Who’s waited for you to live

Who’s the source of all your living

Let go of the ground

You can fly

Sing your new song

It’s a tune that you know

For a time that is now

A time worth remembering

The song is inside you

Under the skin

Within the within

It’s a tune that you know

So sing your new song

The song so old it makes the

Earth young again

Inside of your song
