Best Boot Poems

Being stuck in a traffic jam
I was shocked to see
A sticker in the window 
of a car in front of me:
It held a lurid message
Of dark and deep despair;
Ex husband locked in the boot 
Open it if you dare.

I laughed a bit, then paused for...

slithering snakes run silent

sleeping snakes lay deadly

awakened venom ready

while reigning as prone giants



breathe upright fools gather tolls

exhale hate and hued discord

bow in ranks to thy dark lord

ascending dust; marching trolls



march riotous foolery

spew venomous rhetoric

slither fork-tongued heretics

confess inflamed schoolery



o’ taste and see politics

halls unjust, wall-smears dark...

The wax drips slowly down the hardening ripple
Hours pass by as a second, I hear:
.     crickets
        birds
         the wind

In a couple of hours
 another town we'll be stoppin.
  At a big ole country bar
   where we can get the people rockin.
    At least until two
     I know that place will be hoppin.

So I've...

Ole Tyree was a tourist from Texas
who went to a rock and roll nexus.
He yo-del-io-ed
in Sun Stu-d-io
that's how he got kicked out of Memphis.

Sitting staring out the window for my sister to return
An overwhelming sadness, my stomach in a churn.
She a half day at school and I have not yet started
I thought the fates were cruel that we were even parted
The sun glinting off the puddles, maybe we'll...

Boot Hill is filled with remorse
From folks who could not stay the course
But a lot could be worse
Than a ride in an hearse
For a cowboy who ain't got no horse!...

1. When Satan was an Angel:

    He discovered fault finding easy in the Heavenly Society.
    
    No reason to put forth an effort to improve,

    Just dis.


2. When the Sky-Boss wasn't around

Rainy and dreary with clouds overhead
Easy to start feeling down
But pull yourself up by the boot straps
Wipe off that ugly frown

When weathermen frown, smile right back
It'll chase all those blues away
No one can tell you what day to have
You're the one in control of your...

Hey SKAT where you at?

just hello from me!...

The army stands defeated on the battlefield,
But they never really knew how to fight;
They were mighty against enemies they could see,
But not the spirits hidden from their sight.
 
They were given weapons to wage this war,
But were ignorant of how they are used;
They entered blindly into...

The day did not mean much to him,
That’s why he did not know—
Just how he came there Easter morn
With Tombstone down below.

There’s a tumbleweed a blowin’,
Pushed by the breath of God—
That moves across the distant range
And marks where He has trod.

The golden sun rises again
And...

For the first time my computer has fallen
It can’t seem to boot up, the screen’s blank
Needless to say, I am more than crestfallen
I have no money for a new one in the bank

It can’t seem to boot up, the screen’s blank
There is a strange buzzing...

Went up into the attic,
Espied a load of junk.
Thought I'd have a car boot sale,
Before we did a bunk.
Piled it all into the car,
Glad I wasn't going far.
Springs were groaning with the weight,
Wondered if I would make the gate.
Table up and boot wide open too,
All...
