Best Britches Poems

Was totally overwhelmed by your Birthday wishes
From all over the world, it busted my britches
I apologize if I missed one
I completely came undone
I'm sending you all a bunch of love and kisses

Oh! these silly britches
I'll have to talk to grandma 
they need new stitches
and a nip, and a tuck
I love the way she fixes things
she has that special touch.

I'll bring to her a sewing basket
with all the needles and threads
and while she is sewing them
I can...

One hand on my britches keeps them from falling down
One hand on my cane, which keeps me off the ground

I know a solution must be found, I can’t decide just what kind
I’ve been analyzing the situation; but it rather puzzles my mind

Could be gravity tugging...

         Britches 
	And The Man In The Lake
	Written: by Tom Wright
	7/20/98
	
	While standing at the waters edge
	I peered within to see.
	This strange reflection of a man
	there staring back at me.
	
	Getting no response to questions
	I didn't learn his name.
	But...

During the frigid night
Hoarfrost has embraced her branches
As a tight fitting tunic,
Tailor made, just for her.

Night wind's chafing bite
Has long since given way to crisp morning air,
And snow has lengthened into fog,
Past where aqueous eyes can take in.

Facing east, car's window rolled down,
A broken barb...

Summer on the Farm
As Related By Britches

Britches gets up early
To greet the breaking of dawn,
A stretch, a scratch,
And if sleepy, a yawn;

Old Elsie the cow
Anxiously awaits his pull,
He hopes when they’re done
His buckets near full;

Later he’ll throw
The chickens some scratch,
By then his mom will...

The eagle mocked the owl 
who was tethered by a string
and ended up in bird-lime
that caught him by the wing.

Owl said to eagles
escape if you can
for you'll soon be mock
by the swift knife of man....

“Britches” is now just a has been, an “ol’ used to be,”
though “he’s loaded for bear” he remains carefree.

 He’s faster than “a chicken on a Cheeto” at finger lickin,
life is tough, but “like a dead horse, he ain’t kickin.”

Once “tough...

“Britches”, Is At It Again!
By: Tom Wright

Katrina came ashore
Sparing scarcely a palm,
Rains deluge came pelting,
Days later, the calm;

Rising floodwaters deposited
All its ill-gotten debris,
The ravaged were left floating
Or deposited in a tree.

People were seen clinging
To life on one’s rooftop,
While rescuers in their boats
Seemed too busy to...

These are very trying time I'd say
Try this, try that, but the results are the same
Let's pull up our britches
Turn on the switches
Attack till this virus is shot down in flames...

“Britches” 2
Written: by Miracle man
July 12, 2021

 His younger years are slowly becoming blurred,
some think he’s matured into a “tough old bird”.
He’s been sewed up, stapled, wired, and glued,
due to thirty five scars that he has accrued.

Each one of these markings has a story to...

Man so brave we called him Sissy Britches.
One bee and he would dive into the ditches.
Terrified of fire,
One we couldn’t admire.
Killed during game by one of the pitches.

We did not hate him now that he was dead.
And learned pretty quickly his name was Fred.
He became...

"Britches First Real Kiss"
Written: by Tom Wright
8/16/00

"Britches" talked to "Sweetie"
about stealing another kiss.
She told him stealing was wrong,
and there was something amiss.

He said he'd been borrowing,
and had intent to repay.
Why shucks, he'd pay interest,
if adequate, one kiss a day.

But "Sweetie", being smarter,
than he'd been led...

Britches and the Train
Written: by Tom Wright
10/14/99

Two long tracks lay parallel in fresh snow,
"Britches", being inquisitive,  asked his Dad, where do they go?
He said, “they cross our streams and many a street",
then pointed to the horizon where they appeared to meet.

"They race across flat...
