Today’s verse is titled…“Beauty”  
I wish that I could see your face  
behind that dingy hair.  
Your smile could make the angels cry,  
a tooth like that is rare.

Your good eye looks into my soul.  
Your bad eye at the floor.  
Though I’d rather run away.  
Your leer I can’t ignore.

From real small hills my love for you,  
will echo through the lands.  
These real small pills are all I need.  
To hold your ugly hands.  
Kaotic Newtral.

Sheesh…no other bad poetry…C’mon you can do better. 😉

For my next ode…I shall prove the undoable. I shall rhyme purple…orange, and silver.

Butterflies and Hummingbirds  
of yellow and of purple,  
hang around back on the deck  
and eat the freakin nurpil. (a kind of flower)

A tiger cub and tiger mom  
of black and white and orange  
broke into my little house  
and wrecked my bebop-oranje. (another word for door)

A small red fox, a coyote  
one’s maroon one’s silver,  
hang around on in my backyard  
and look for things to snilver. (it means eat)

I know, it’s incredible…but, with practice I’m sure you can all be pro’s like me. Give it a shot!

Sambone

I have a friend I call Sammy  
I call him Sammy Pants, too  
Occasionally, it’s Sammy Britches,  
The name, it chafes and itches,  
And he bitches and bitches and bitches  
Without Sammy, I would be blue.  
Fried Chicken Salad

Take your Italian dressing  
Throw it in the river  
I never order Italian dressing  
The smell, it makes me quiver  
(And not in a good way, you damned dirty apes).

Ok, I just woke up. I’ll do better later.

I’m impressed with your bad poetry-ness! I think you’ll have to throw some made up words in before you turn pro though. 🙂

Sleepy Pants Dance

I put you on, Mr. Sleepy Pants  
I dance around: the Sleepy Pants Dance  
Try as you might to keep me toasty  
My hiney is always nice and froasty (which is a lot like frosty)

Froasty! Beautiful! I dig it.

lemme try again…

A tree is at least just as tall,  
as a giant’s lowest ball.  
A shrub’s a mighty giant though,  
to an ants left testico . (a word for little ant jewels)

Ahem.

An Ode to Kimberly

I know a girl named Kimberly,  
She lives in Memphis, Tennessee.  
In that humid and sultry town  
The word “barbecue” is a noun,  
Unless you’re referring to an outdoor cooking appliance.  
Another Ode to Kimberly

Kimberly has soft red hair,  
It smells like cinnamon,  
Or maybe a pear.  
Although she is a wimminon (means a female)  
She’s not fond of swimminon  
Because she doesn’t have a pool.  
The Third (and Probably Last) Ode to Kimberly

Kimberly is my good friend,  
I love her without an end.  
She makes me laugh, she makes me cry,  
And then with kisses my tears she’ll dry.  
But if I ever call her Kimmy,  
My ass she’ll kick  
And with fear I’ll shimmy.  
My Great Big Cadillac Car

I drive a big black Cadillac,  
In the window there is no gun rack.  
I drive in it both near and far,  
It’s a bigass Cadillac car,  
But it costs a fortune to keep the gas tank filled.

Thank you.

_exits to sound of snapping fingers and fast bongo drums_

… Clears throat … ahem … hawk, hawk

I once had a treasure  
And you are a treasure  
I treasured my treasure  
Like I once treasured you

And it was my pleasure  
To look at my treasure  
And treasure my treasure  
Like I once treasured you

Then one day under pressure  
I gave up my treasure  
In all it’s great measure  
I gave it to you

So treasure my treasure  
Like I treasured my treasure  
Enjoy it with pleasure  
Like I once treasured you…

Zappo…gotta dig it.

That was good.

Cool, my turn.

“Ode to dogs”  
I had a yellow poodle,  
It peed in yellow squirts.  
I had a chocolate labrador,  
It shitted small deserts.

🙂

Ahem! That should read _desserts_,  
but deserts kinda stays with the idea better. 🙂
