Best Best Man Poems

The Lay of The Best Man - Part One

I’ve seen men ‘good’, and surely, I’ve seen men ‘bad’
So jealous and so envious, I’ve seen men ….sad
Twisted, fuming with anger, and consumed with rage
Callous and cruel to an extreme - with evil engage
Bitter and nasty, with...

The Lay of The Best Man - Part 4

I ask you this: Have you ever known a man to ‘buckle under stress’?
Or have you never seen a man have a ‘moment of madness’?
Have you not heard about the unfortunate Child Physician.?
Lynch-mob [illiterate] shout “Paedo!!”… at...

The Lay of The Best Man - Part Five


Have you heard about the bespectacled man who wore his glasses to bed?
Because when he awoke mornings his dreams were all blurry in his head.
And what about the obese man who wanted to lose weight the easy...

Well versed
    rehearsed
    Best man
    began
    He joked
    provoked
    Each word
    was slurred
    Blah blah
    faux pas

The Lay of The Best Man - Part Two


I will not understate my distaste, but I do not hate. I rate hate as being irate
Shall I underrate the spate of your hate as you devastate; leaving the ‘diva’ in a state?
You segregate, that’s active hate....

Ask your friend, neighbour or even a stranger newly-met
Have they ever been damaged by a ‘trust’ ….now turned ‘regret’?
Most men, if not all, have fashioned their character on personal experience
Yet these damned hypocrites are themselves guilty of immoral expedience.
Want more proof of man’s aggressiveness and...

He was the best lil' man a girl ever have 
I was five and he was six
He had red hair and freckles and said the darnest things 
One day we were on the front porch in the swing he looked at me and said sugar

The Best Man

Sweetness.....
Ya know what I know!  
I know that I am the best man
You have ever known. (Well, other than your father).  
I feel it..
In the way you talk to me...
Specially when you say
To me in that sweet voice of yours.... 
"I love you"....

Ring, ring goes my telephone,
I move to the front door of the house
I rent to own 
I am moving slow,
stoned,
alone, 
I stroll,
miserable!!!

The call came a few hours before 
from a dear friend of mine 
forewarning me of the grime,
dirty shards ripping, crippling my inner core.

I...

From my first memories as a wide 
eyed pup.
 The day when this gentle 
man would come pick me up. 
Though I did not know him I had no 
fear.
I instantly nuzzled his neck and 
nibbled his ear. 
Then off for a ride to 
my...

Baby girl so sorry he hurt you so bad. It made me mad cause it made you sad. Tears fall from those beatiful eyes. Baby come running and no more will you cry. I'll apperciate what you do for me. I'll keep you by my...

Realization...
On impulse, the best man
stops to buy a bouquet of roses.
He dashes through the rain
in his three-piece suit.
The wedding must be stopped!
He will convince the bride
that he is her
best man!

In the darkness of a rising hole, there came the flash, 
liting up her eyes, as she went to it
She saw the same man carrying tons of veggies to sell, 
for he needed to give her some notebooks to hold
The man seemed to be a...

BEST MAN

He feels his situation could be dire
On the hard shoulder, stands aghast
A shiny black Mercedes flashes past
At that speed, the fuel will not last
But then he turns back to his flat tyre

He’ll miss the wedding, not the fallout
With a trunk full of luggage to...

Oh, what a gloomy Sunday! What they call
a resurrection* is more like a doom
of my eternal soul. That may befall
if you drank whiskey and Tequila Boom
on wedding with the cousin of the groom.

Her name was Jane. I was a little vexed
she didn’t want to dance....
