Best Boohoo Poems
Suspended like a lemon drop
on the tongue of night
the moon melts—
there was a child who eyed the sky
through his black lashes crows did fly
Haze, ever present,
on this humid September eve,
blurs the edges of reality
calling forth images
sweet beginnings
the howls of wolf—
the warmth of blood.
a teddy bear he held to him
Ma said the wolf cried—let me in
Fireflies fly near the
sparkler’s
spinning
lamplight
bathes his white blanket in blue.
under the cover he runs boohoo
after all he was only two!

Very few like I
You either tell the truth or lie
It was do or die
So why go by suicide
When you could either keep or lose your life
During daylight or through the night
First the sun then the moon would rise
Above and below sewage pipes
Filled with human poop and flies
Somewhere around two forty five
Girl gave me a chance, so I showed her that I can scuba dive
It was now voodoo time
Never again want to hear you boohoo and whine
Up and down hills, the tires continuing to move and slide
While I cruise and drive
Get out the glue and try
You'll find out in the end who is right

Caerphilly is a small town
Famous for its cheese
Has a castle looks like its falling down
With a Moat around with geese
Outside now stands a large Statue,
It needed to be big he would boast.
Thats what the nature of this man
Big, but stupid loved by most
Its a statue of Tommy Cooper
Comedian a magician that fails
Wore a Fez as his trademark
Born here in Wales
The sculptors name is James Done
A great friend of mine
Has a wicked sense of humour
Smiling all the time
Jim isnt Welsh boohoo
Though he's lived here a long time
Regards himself as proxy Welsh
Though his accent sounds like Tyne
The day Tommy's statue was presented
Was done by Sir Anthony Hopkins no less
Who mentioned he would have loved
To have met Tommy in the flesh
Now it stands there for all to see
The larger than life comedian
Well done Jim your Bronze is f.c.
Can even be seen in *Torfaen"
The link goes directly to the Tommy Cooper site showing pictures of the statues. Mentioning James Done the sculptor.
Torfaen (torfine) is an area next to Caerphilly
f.c. First class

Hiss and boohoo the snow finally arrived
Along with frigid temps, but we'll all survive
We're Canadian you know
This stuff's not nouveau
Snowed since a week now, still damn well alive

I can swim but I should fly!
If I do, will I die?
With the birds and the fish
fighting over me if they wish!
Am I racing with the number two?
With the fish in the ocean blue,
or with the birds in the sky?
But I'm afraid I will die!
What should I do?
Boohoo, boohoo!
I know, I know!
I will do both.
I will fly in the sky,
and this is no lie!
Then I will swim with the fish,
when they wish!

***Crazy Menagerie***
I definitely bit off more than I could chew,
when I came a-running to my friend's rescue
He said it was no big deal, a real snooze actually
to just please, please look after his cutie menagerie
He said everything was pretty much self-explanatory
just feel at home, and relax...he sure was being sneaky!
I thought the word "menagerie" was just an exaggeration,
but goodness me, I almost fainted when I was greeted by a python!
He just lay there by the foyer, quite snug as a bug on the rug
So I carefully stepped over it, and planned to make tea for my mug
I headed to the kitchen, when I heard something go squeak! squeak!
What was that? I wondered, then I let out a bloodcurdling shriek!
It flew right over my head, yikes, another one got me all panicky
My eyes bugged out as I realized that he had a couple of paniki*!!
I went rushing out the kitchen and ran straight into an aquarium
No cool fishies here, just mousies out of equilibrium
They were jumping up and down now, trying to escape
when I heard a suspicious grunt, it sounded like an ape!!
I was so scared to search for it, but curiosity won out
So I opened doors and cabinets, when I ran smack into a snout!
Ewwwww, I just realized that I just kissed an ugly pig!
I then remembered he kept one to go on truffle digs!
He said he had a cat though? Where were the common pets?
Ah, there it is; here, kitty, kitty, when I saw it was a ferret!
It was doing this weird dance, it hopped then bumped into me
I wigged out, then stepped right on the tail of that poor kitty!!
It lunged at me and I fell back onto aquarium glass
of course it had to teeter totter and I was too late, alas!!
It just hit the marble floor, then I heard that sickening crash
Mousies all over me!!! Shook my head till I got whiplash
The cat was now scratching me, I was screaming 'till my throat was sore,
This was a total nightmare, that snake was blocking that damn door!!
My eyes were like leaking faucets, I had thick tears, I didn't know?
When I wiped off my cheeks, I found out it was icky guano!!
Boohoo, sniffle, snuffle--am I never getting out of here?!?
Dang Chris says he'll be back in a week, will just drown myself in beer.

"The grass is always greener on the other side."
"The sun shines brighter for others and not me."
Boohoo, cry me a river. I have a tiny violin.
You can borrow it when you sing your sob song.
It plays rather well to the tune of, “POOR ME!!!”
Further more the grass isn’t always greener.
For your information my grass is pretty damn green.
They just wont let me walk on it.

Sure like to share my innermost thoughts
Haven't yet found where they're hidden
Searched and searched but really no luck
Gonna put out a Lost Data bulletin
Sure they were there the last time I checked
But that was way back in my teens
At some point between back then and now
They're totally missing it seems
Other stuff's missing like my wavy black hair
It once was my crowning glory
It's now really thin and getting thinner
It's white for which I'm quite sorry
Heard some people age rather gracefully
That ain't the case with yours truly
As well as thin and white with some cooties
It's really unmanageable and unruly
Should have expected this turn of events
From a handsome young fellow to this
So I've had to accept I'm less of a charmer
Here's a big boohoo and a hiss!

Narrative
I play golf as much as I can
while still thinking of my fellow man
I haven’t figured out the economy
because it puzzles me
still no recovery with the things I’ve done
oh well what the hell
as long as you can see my good intentions an I tried
that is what is most important to me
I’ve been accused of telling lies
how you figured me out that is a surprise
all of my promises I make don’t come true
I count on ABC, CBS & NBC to protect and cover my ass
and help me fool all of you
my enemies claim that I and my administration
are corrupt with scandals through and through
I challenge any of you to prove your wild allegations it if you can good luck
millions of people are out of work
Republicans keep saying I’m a jerk
to many people were working anyway
now they have more time to play
thanks to me and my socialist policy
I'm not a Christian but I do pray to my god Allah everyday
America’s been the leader of the free world for too long
it’s time we sing a different song
leading from behind is the song I sing
taking America down a notch or two is my thing
is what I believe I need to do
the military is to strong I believe that is wrong
that’s why I apologize every chance I get
for America’s atrocities as I see fit
when I Barack Hussein Obama was elected president
I was very very much surprised
because I never ever did anything to pay my dues
I was so unqualified I still don’t understand
how I was able to fool all of you
some of my constituents say I'm a narcissist
that is true now so let me salute all of you with my middle finger
all of my perks are great and life style to
playing golf and basketball is what I love to do
while the worlds troubles are in chaos boohoo
flying around in a great big plane
and living in a big mansion that's insane
but my wife still loves to complain
and all the millions of dollars I am able to
hide away for a rainy day
all the people around me
tell me every day how great I am
playing at President is the job for me
you may now get on your knee to worship me
I believe I have become a King you may also kiss my Muslim ring
those of you who disagree with me
and decide to take a pass then you can all kiss my black ass

The short summer is almost over,
boohoo~pull up the bedcover. Our fun and sun will go away, next year it will come back out to play. The school days are ahead, I do dread. Guess it is off to buy some school supplies, I would rather have ice cream and hot pies.
New clothes will be fun, if I do not look like a nun.
Friends will be great to see, but homework is not for me.

Quote By Poet: "Make a wish. Will it come true. Only time will tell."
Today is my birthday,
they said make a wish and blow out your candles.
I did,
but my wish never came true.
On a star filled night they said,
take a star and make a wish.
I did,
how long do I need to wait for it to come true.
My trust I put in you,
I did what I was told to do.
Is making a wish,
a waste of time.
All I can say,
is boohoo.

''SOMETHING IM LOOKING FOR'', THERE IS SOMETIHNG THAT I WANT BUT CANT FIND. THE
THING THAT IM LOOKING FOR FIRST MUST START IN YOUR HEART AND END IN YOUR
MIND.SOMETHING THAT CANT BE FOUND IN A BOOK, COMPUTER, OR EVEN IN THE LITTLE
TALK YOU HEAR. THAT EVEN A LITTLE WHISPER OF IT CAN MAKE IT DISAPPEAR.
SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS, SO UNIQUE THAT ITS HARD TO REVEAL. BECAUSE OF ALL THE
PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT YOU KEPT CONCEALED. BECAUSE THERES NO ONE OUT THERE
WORTH SHOWING IT TOO.BECAUSE YOUR SCARED OF ALL THE [ HAHA'S ] SO YOU FEEL
LIKE [ BOOHOO ]. THAT YOUR SCARED TO SHOW THIS SPECAIL THING BECAUSE OF ALL
THE PAIN. THAT ITS EASY TO GIVE BUT HARD TO OBTAIN. THAT THE THING THAT IM
LOOKING FOR IS MORE PRICELESS THEN ANY BOX OF TREASURE. ITS EVEN BIGGER THEN
MILES OR ANY KIND OF MEASURES. THAT THE THING IM LOOKING FOR CAN STOP THE RAIN
AND MAKE THE SUN RISE. SO POWERFUL AND SO RIGHTEOUS WHEN YOU FIND IT YOU'LL
BE HYPNOTIZED. THIS THING IM LOOKING FOR ONCE YOU FIND IT YOU'LL NVER WANT TO
LET IT GO. THAT YOU'LL INVITE IT WILLINGLY AND WELCOME IT BECAUSE YOU DONT
WANT TO BE ALINE. THIS THING THAT IM LOOKING FOR IS MORE PRECIOUS THEN A DOVE.
BECAUSE THE THING IM LOOKING FOR IS '' UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ''...

I initially once thought
Things look nice in lines and curves.
The power to imagine
Things on white paper
But nature defines beauty.
Watching the clouds cry boohoo
And the tears wetting roses.
No art can show it
Tears rolling down its own sleeves
So fragile and yet so sleek
Such poetry as it bends
No art can show it
Raindrops drops with elegance
As it pats the light petals
Leaving drops which reflects light
What art can show that?
