Laura Leiser Poet Light Verse

Buck Toothed Chuck

Here comes Buck Toothed Chuck 
from Hickville Street,
sorriest feller you 
ever did meet.
Walkin' his flea bitten dog
down the street, scratchin’ his head
and flip flopping his feet.

If he asks for money
best say, "No way"!
'cuz it'll slip through his fingers
in less than a day.
He'll be spittin' tobackee
the whole day through,
'cuz he ain't got nothin'
better to do.

There goes Buck Toothed Chuck
from Hickville Street,
hasn’t had a bath in
over a week,
Best steer clear cuz' the
smell ain't sweet,
sorriest feller you 
ever did meet.

Old Buck May 20, 2015 at 4:17 PM Laura: Thank you for not using my real name and how did you know about my dog. In the past you've called yourself "amateur". Remember: that's a reference term about money, not talent. I have published 2 books and write like an amateur. I'd rather be your kind of amateur than mine. :o) oldbuck Laura Leiser May 20, 2015 at 5:38 PM LOL! I promise I wasn't thinking of you when I wrote this poem!! Thanks for your compliments, Buck :)

Lindsay Laurie January 30, 2015 at 6:08 PM G'day Laura... I really enjoyed reading your poem Laura and imagined it being recited in a slow Southern drawl. Regards - Lindsay Laura Leiser January 30, 2015 at 7:59 PM Thanks for your comment, Lindsay! Yep, a Southern drawl is what I envisioned for this "feller"!

Roy Jerden November 30, 2014 at 7:55 PM Sounds like an old folk song, Laura. Just needs a refrain and a tune! Well done! Cheers, Roy Laura Leiser November 30, 2014 at 10:53 PM Thank you, Roy! It would be fun in a song :)
