Best Best Man Poems
Well versed
rehearsed
Best man
began
He joked
provoked
Each word
was slurred
Blah blah
faux pas
Defamed
and shamed
The bride
soon cried
Now crushed
she blushed
Red faced
disgraced
Without
a doubt
He put
his foot
Inside
his snide
Wide scouth
loud mouth
Not quite
contrite
Ashamed
he blamed
His botch
on Scotch.

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
do you know what I want to do I said no daddy cause that what he told me to call him my lil' daddy but he told me he want to take them two cats and tie their tails together and I told him I didn't think that was a good idea but when lil' daddy got it in his head you could not stop him so I told him well we needed to think of some way of holding them cat down to tie them tails so he run to the barn and came back with two corn sacks and we each caught a cat well my cat was a girl and she was tame but lil' daddy got ole tom and he was not so friendly and he started to claw his way out of that sack but lil' daddy wasn't going down without a fight and tom gave him one lil ' daddy was bloody from the top of his head to the bottom of his arms but tom did get his tail tied to my cat she wasn't no more happier that tom when mama heard the noise she came a runnin' with a switch and tanned our hides but by this time the cats already got loose
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 saw them together at the grocery store.
Discombobulated, my shirt smells of pine,
weighted, my heart begins to whine,
My best man, my girl. A romance so hard to ignore.

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".
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 new happy home.
Then soon he would
to take in a rescue so I would never
be alone.
He said that she was my sisi and called her Jamie
Giaco is what he chose to name me.
We had an amazing yard with squirrels to chase
In this my life I had surely found my place.
Toys and treats in endless supply
I'm one lucky dog to have found this guy.
There were times i drove him up the wall.
With my never ending, throw the ball, throw the ball.
But he didn't mind and made sure my every need was met.
I was more his son than I was ever his pet.
He made my life great from beginning to end.
I've heard people say I was "Man's Best friend"
If that's what they like to say, it's okay they can
But without a doubt, he was "My best man"
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 side. No longer will you half to hide. Cause i'll be your keeper.Noone will ever harm you again.The love i feel for you is not pretend.All i do is set here and pray.That you see i am a better man.
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!

For you were such a gentleman
your smile sincere and true
For your hair was always in it's place
your funniness shone through
For the love you had of sport's
anything would do
football, tennis and many more
will always remind me of you
Your love of a great war film
Your love of a 25p bet
chatting to the pound shop girl's
A man impossible to forget
From your charming personality
to the way you wound up Nan
a little nudge
a little poke
the laughter it began
Your love of laying in the sun
Your balcony or in Spain
wasn't guaranteed the weather
it always seemed to rain
Yet your tan always so immaculate
A lovely golden brown
that's what happens when you move your sunbed
to follow the sun around
Your love of having a bit of cheese
or should I say a block
cracker's and cheese for everyone
say around 8 o'clock
Enjoyed cleaning a oven
and drinking a nice cup of tea
got lumbered entertaining kids
enjoyed a stroll down Leigh on sea
Your shirts always tucked in
and looking extra smart
Smelling of aftershave
You always looked the part
A handsome man
with a personality to desire
happy and bubbly
could dry your hair with his hands
faster than a hair dryer
It's all the little thing's
that made you
you
that we miss and love
but make us feel blue
Forever we remember
we will never forget
we were blessed to encounter
The best man yet!
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 close relative to the owls, Staying awake the same as them
Nowhere to be seen except for the time when she needed him
The moments were there, when he held her hand so tight, refusing to quit in the battle of life
Being the best man in this life of her, she pleads to hold him in her eyes as always,
For this existence means a void without him
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 extract
To then find he has no spare, in fact
Just one more item he knew he lacked
Nor membership for breakdown callout
The advice is to remain with the car
Not seated inside, but standing apart
And now he senses the rain will start
A miserable feeling deep in his heart
A day with performance well below par
His phone has no signal at this location
And now he is getting cold and wet
Another thing he feared he’d forget
Is the ring, and bride he’d not yet met
And with no prospect of reparation
A police car pulled up just behind
They heard his dilemma and radioed in
Arranged for a tow and repairs to begin
Then got him to church top rescue a win
A debt he owed when brought to mind
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. I hoped that Jane
and I… I don’t recall what happened next.
Oh, hell, if you are going to obtain
my soul, please, go get me a cold champagne.
* In Russian Sunday is voskresen’e (literally, resurrection).

I have a plan
And I call him my best man
He’s all that
Good sex
Financially stable
But first he’s my best friend
Never have to ask who can I run to
Cause it’s him my best man is my boo too
I can tell him I fuqked up and he’ll forgive me
I can do all those “girlie things"
And he’ll still want to live with me
He can secretly hate some of the things I do
But nothing compares to when he says “I love you”
He can’t fix all my problems and I don’t expect him too
All I want is for him to be there when I come through
I want him home when I’m alone
And out when I’m about
Don’t want him to make bills
I want him to make babies nah not even that
But we could practice maybe.
It’s incredible my lyrics are not nearly edible
But delectable is
A man who will do simple things just cause he know I like them
cause he knows I’ll do the same
A man who aint too proud to beg and call out my name
I need someone who aint shy
I want someone to come home to at night
Treat your woman the , you would want someone to treat me
Show them Love, Respect, to be Honest and know the meaning of Loyalty
Put them first , and teach them to Respect their mamma too
So when they are grown, and and become good men, Everybody knows its from you
And they too will pass it on and on, cause they seen how you treat me
Start a new tradition, for like you - they'll be the best men they can be
MARY H CRUZ 2021
Today, there will be millions of emotions,
All convoluted and insane,
From the most basic and inane,
To the rancorous and everything that isn't plain.
But amidst all the revelry and reign,
Against all the war paint and pain,
At the end of all worlds and cleaning up the drink stains,
There is one thing that I want you to know,
I stand on this stage, and I look to my side and see the best of men at the show.
I see the man that I laughed with underneath the TV glow,
I saw the man I cried with when the going got low,
I see the hand that sat on my shoulder when I was at my worst woes,
I see the personality I always turned to when I needed help,
I see the one man who didn’t give up on me when I moved states,
I see the only person I’ve been able to rely on for 18 years.
They say friends come and go,
But brothers will be there for you no matter what.
And I’m glad to have the best brother of all.
