Best Aristocrat Poems
One day I heard a knock
Or more a rapid tap upon my door.
It brought me not acute alarm,
For it was noonday by the clock
And noontime rarely brings one harm,
So with my midday tea I crossed the floor.
I took a cautious look,
Through entryway devices in the wall
Known only by my spouse and I
And were well hidden in the nook
Where unseen eyes allow no lie
From ill-willed strangers who might choose to call.
When I peeked out this day
I gazed upon a rather portly man
Of middle years and fine attire.
A well bred man one then could say
But said today they'd be a liar;
No "well bred man" this man of darker plan!
I opened wide my door of oak
Which as it hung weighed over half a ton.
But physics did allow that weight
And we've had not a single bloke
To realign the door to this estate;
When intellect's applied the job gets done.
This stranger stiffened straight
Then from his waist he gave a courtly bow.
I smiled at him and said "come in"
And little did he hesitate
Before his rotund body pushed within
Without a pause or cause to disallow.
I turned to see his rear
Still moving deeper through my sacred place.
I heard myself let loose a shout
Which was a shout no doubt of fear
Of what this stranger was about
And why this rude intrusion of my space?
I want to write a poem sweet little kitty cat,
but you are on my cluttered writing desk:
and on my papers you have just sat !
With you in a dance position arabesque,
we chitchat, chat, and play tat for tat !
Please, will you now move my furry aristocrat ?

A sacred day,
A sacred way,
Of coupling together.
The queen sent her crier,
"Inform the crowd,
Of a wedding in town,
My prince is in love,
I couldn't be more proud!"
Said her majesty.
Set down away the crier left,
In hopes of passing
That joyful message.
He reached the town
And began his chant;
“Hear me hear me,
A royal message
Comes you way,
Listen carefully,
It’s from far far away!
Decorate your town,
Love birds come your way
As wedding bells will soon ring away
The royal prince is in love,
With his beloved,
They will ride this path,
He fulfilled his covet
Of being the new soon king.
A wedding is here now
As all are invited,
Bring your family
Bring your friends
It’s a celebration
With no bends
The castle is far by
Invitations will be sent
The occasion is here
Every one is invited!!"
And with that,
He got on his horse,
After his course,
Going back to the palace.
"Good day!"
He said wishing the queen
"Duties have been done
And now it's time for fun"
He finished.
"Indeed crier,
My desires have come alive
It’s an aristocrat wedding
It has to be unique
It an aristocrat wedding
It has to be of speak
Everyone should have it on their lips,
Because its and aristocrat wedding!!!
I’m a traveler
landfill photographer
amateur aristocrat
hours on in the bookstore
chai latte with just a pinch
of cinnamon and vanilla
a crescent full of comfy chairs
and extra texts on eastern thought
ready, set,
reading’s fun again
I smoke enough
to hold my bluff
but not enough to harm me
I’m a souvenir
lightweight contender
amateur aristocrat
another sunny Saturday
finds me lying poolside
taking in the rays, so
taken of it all
could you bring an iced tea?
don’t you know a gentleman
when you see one?
I work enough
when times are tough
but never enough to tire me
I’m a remnant
adamantly spoken for
amateur aristocrat
Count Pat was a bald aristocrat
Dreamt of becoming a bureaucrat
He loved riddles and red tape
Leaving folks with mouth agape
Cherishing all games of mouse and cat

In nineteen thirty-five my star was born
Twas a time to save the world from hatred and scorn
