Best Ate Poems

Strong Coffee Ate A Silver Spoon

Strong coffee ate a silver spoon
Blind feline lapped up the spilled milk
Sweet relief cannot come too soon
I slept on sheets of finest silk
Gone such dreams with vanishing moon

Dry toast from molded bread was made
Served with the world's gold gilded lies
Sides...

If you judge food with the quantity put before you
Then my first choice will be the Victoria Hotel*.
On Sunday lunch, food is too plentiful, makes you blue.
There we will eat so much it will make our tummies swell.

In my travels, I had times when food...

It was our third-grade field trip to the Dinosaur Exhibit
We would be touring all the lands that dinosaurs inhibit
I remember the teacher saying “keep your hands inside your pockets”
Then she paired me with the meanest kid, his name was Tommy Rockets
“I dare you to take...

Today I present an old poem, written at least a decade before "Doubts". What this poem lacks in poetic format, and style, it reaps in sentiment.
Enjoy:

the Girl Who Ate the National Park

I was picking apples, from polystyrene
boxes, when she held aloft a spiky
green football and...

When they married he was as thin as a rake
But his wife she loves to bake

She thinks the way to his heart
Is to practice her culinary art
 
He’s been eating all her pies
You should see his thunder thighs

He’s in love, this he cannot disguise
Now his...

Charles Bukowski ate my girlfriend
He started with her head
Fiddled with her like finger food
Putty in his hands

Charles Bukowski took my girlfriend 
Slapped her hard upside the face
Now she likes it dirty
So this poets been replaced

I'd like to say so long Charlie
As far as I'm concerned
You...

Johnny stutters when he's nervous
Gina skipped to school one day
Janice lost her favorite ruler
In the backyard yesterday

Where is my pizza
It was in the microwave
Someone came and ate it up
And left the crumbs right here

Corona virus spreading fast
Wash your hands and wear a mask
The weak will...

Zombies ate my Christmas guests
Oh Lord you should have seen it
Don't know what the cops will think
But the neighbors won't believe it

Granny dodged and moved so quick
She ran like Herschel Walker
Just as it seemed she'd get away
She tripped, that's how they caught her

Uncle Fred was...

It was moms birthday she loved eggplant 
I didn't hear the man as he began to rant   
I was a cooked child kneeling on stoic air 
in the back room I ate, without his stare   

a purple eggplant was devoured as...

The master of my wolves was so trusty
and so very good at his job,
without him my pack, unmentored,
would have run wild, but they never did,
my packmaster had them well in hand.
I don’t know where they are now,
my canines that I loved so much,
they disappeared when...

From the top of my head
to the tip of my toes
there's nothing about me,
that God does not know. 

He knows I am weak,
but in Him I am strong.
And what ever I do,
He sees my rights
and He sees my wrongs.

God, You know I'm not perfect,
and this...

My dog ate my homework
 He doesn't know what he's done
 
He's forced me to defend myself with what is essentially a pun

I asked him why'd he do it He started licking his butt

It angered me more this non-explanation for my rut

I yelled at him...

I ate a purple jelly bean
after my lunch one day!
But I accidently swallowed it whole
so my mom called the doc right away!

He told her I'd be fine,
just give it some time!
He also prescribed me some strange-looking
sour, acidic, Calamondin limes!

Apparently these limes
would make the pain go...

A dingo ate my baby 
It came into the tent
Gobbled up my kiddie
Farted, then it went

The dingo ate my baby
It’s a terrible disgrace
It swallowed up my nipper
And it didn’t leave a trace...

Thrust a sword into my gut;
Save me from this mindless rut! 
Armor, shield- an open field 
(To guide my hands with luck) 
One by one 'til all are killed;
Beaten, Bashed, Bested- Struck!

*Play on "Gladiator"...
