Aardvark Poems

Verses full of stuff and nonsense

My name isn’t Ginger Rogers,
My name isn’t Fred Astaire,
My name begins with a Unicorn,
Dancing on high through the air.

My name isn’t Peter Rabbit,
My name isn’t Toad of Toad Hall,
My name resembles two Magpies,
Perching on Chimney...Read More

A cute gentile pig in New York
plays hopscotch over turtle hurdles
which eased her bunny
until a smack talking turkey announced,
'Did you hear how the skunks in bombay
lost a spelling bee - to an
artistic aardvark named clark?'

Around her, muttering mosquitoes
Dear teddy bear,...Read More

An artistic aardvark 
living in a forest dark
very quickly did embark
upon a quest on an ark
Noah gave him name of Clark.

African mud banks are my go-to place
Yummy termites and ants my favorite food,
My claws help me keep cool in a digging space.
My sticky tongue keeps me in a marvelous mood
Who am I?
Want to try?
Take a guess.
More or less.

An awful aardvark ate anchovies against all advice.
Besides belching beyond belief, he bit bitter banana boats.
Charlie Chimp cackled curiously, convinced
Delicious delectable desserts did damage.
 
Enormous energy engaged enthusiastic excitement
Frenzied friendly felines, forever forgiving
Greasy giraffes giving grievous gripes
Horsey happiness hiding hurt...Read More

I am an awkward aardvark

Awkward because, no one knows exactly
what kind of animal I am
how to classify me

I am an awkward aardvark

Evolved by necessity into an odd mixture
of adorable and formidable
sharp claws on my paws
funny bunny ears, the better to...Read More

Joan Of Ark


Noah was a geyser, a bible kind of guy
Wouldn’t take no messing from a vicious gospel sky
He’d got the nod from Mr God to build a massive boat
And save the beasts and birdies by keeping some afloat

He gathered...Read More

there once was an aardvark with quite a tongue
he has used it well since he was young
zip it here
and zap it there
many a poor ant has been stung...Read More

The aardvark is a quirky beast,
Uniquely dentalated,
And to the armadillo gastronomically related.
He dines on termites, ants and such,
Most any bug his tongue can touch,
On fruits and veggies, not so much,
Just when he's low on Vitamin C....
Or needs to be re-regulated.

Who invited the ants?
Who asked them to come?
Pesky intruders
Attacking each crumb
Unwanted guests
Totally rude
All over my blanket
Eating my food
The next time I picnic
Or come to the park
Remind me to bring
My pet Aardvark!

There was a possum
of worldly descent
Gathering diamonds
and things it had spent

Chasing a catfish
down dragonfly row
Wanting to see if
it was someone to know

Laughed at an aardvark 
with tangerine pants
Filling it's pockets 
with yesterday's ants

Climbed up a staircase
that led to the sky
Waving...Read More

Mark Clarke was the gentlest man of Denmark 
Yet considered by all a most unlikely patriarch
He was proud being Noah’s apprentice on the ark

Mark was in charge of ensuring all the animals did embark 
Two by two in harmony, elephant,...Read More

"Your light burns brighter than a dying star"
Barked the Aardvark to the lightning bug
Suffocating in the mason jar

"Was it not I" replied the fly encased in glass
"Who gave Edison the idea of the bulb
By the seat of my enlightened ass"

"I...Read More

How would one find 
     The design of my mind?
Where would I start?
     Guess I’ll start a la carte

I’d have wallpaper puppies
     And flickers of flame
In candles of...Read More

The Day The Aardvark Died Christmas 2017

The day the aardvark died
they wept down London zoo
some danced in Jerusalem
cardinals Christians orthodox Jew

The day the aardvark died
I heard them wail down Regents Park
a city prayed for Meerkats
the zoo closed gates before dark

The...Read More

mine myopic eyes and ears 
   sensually and auditorially seduced 
   analogous to a melodic aire
this quick rhythmic stuttering transposes 
   gentle natural orchestral autumnal suite 

   upon limbs gone bare
respectively via...Read More

Aardvark Limerick

An Aardvark living in Timbuktu,
Raised his finger and said,” screw you”
Why so rude, I said back,
Lovely manners you do lack.

So, to reciprocate, I gave him two.

Something out there is chasing me

Something out there is chasing me,
In the centre of a busy Town.
Malicious Red mist only I can see,
Why am I naked, from waist down?

People oblivious to my plight,
Don’t appear to know I’m there.
Wife and Children...Read More

I looked behind me when I heard a squeaky little bark
From out of the bushes, a kangaroo-looking creature rose
His bright green eyes flashed neon signs at me in the dark,
then he raised his long piggy snout and struck a silly...Read More

End of The Cassava


Like cassava we planted corruption in the farm
Like mangos we plug corruption from the trees
 Like Ram we rear in the land where it sold
Like pounded yam we pound our yam of corruption like house we cap...Read More

i was a pest on the wall
i was an electricity aardvark
i was a refrigerator raider
i was a bumby bill increaser
then the door left a mark
the locks became cunning chameleons
the reality became a badly bitter truth serum
time card growth became forever...Read More

The aardvark who was ashamed looked at the floor
The ant that was angry banged on the door
The bee who was bold ventured on a quest
The bear who was bored drew upon his vest

The cat that was calm never entered rage

The Aardvark and the Pangolin,
Romantically, had been entwined.
But infidelity, was in the air,
Aardvark, had a new suiter in mind.

Pangolin, did challenge his rival,
The Anteater with beautiful snout.
Don’t fear for me, on your betrayal,
Sweet Armadillo, is taking me out.

Taming a tropical topical tree? Taking a trunk? Telling a tailor? Traversing a tale? Many ideas. Much like the ideological dramas of a beach front. Wavelength of winds. Movements if the tides. Coconuts can jump very high if wearing leotards...Read More
