Best Cha Poems
“Chickery Chick Cha-la Cha-la”
Was a happy little ditty
From days gone by, my how time flies
Those words were warm and witty
“Lamsey dotes and dosey doats”
Brings back those days of yore
When life was fun in the morning sun
Who could ask for anything more
“Skimmery rinky dinky dink”
Is another masterpiece
Jimmy Durante sang the words
To this clever little treat
“Abba dabba dabba dabba”
A chimp was heard to say
I still remember Debbie singing
In a most delightful way
So when you're down and things ain't right
Just whistle these happy tunes
You'll soon perk up you'll smile and say
“Life is a big cartoon”
A piddling, trifling cha cha cha
Danced her petootsie off, rah rah rah
Wiggling, jiggling and a ha ha ha
We wanted to join them lah dee dah
============================
I sat one evening in the park
upon a bench I thought my own
but as the dusk got down to dark,
I realized I was not alone
I hadn't seen from where he'd come
or got a strong look at his face
but he was there, green as a plumb
where had so long been empty space
He beamed a right polite 'Good day!'
but when I made to shake his hand,
he seemed from sight to fade away
like seaside foam into the sand
Then, as I stared in disbelief
down at the empty wooden seat,
his silhouette in bas-relief
appeared again, from head to feet!
I found this process very strange
but he explained as best he could,
he hadn't left, he'd only changed
his coloring to match the wood
We chatted when my wits returned,
his pattern shifting now and then.
He was a reptile, soon I learned
and called himself 'Cha-me-le-on'
As topics changed, I noticed that
his coloration changed in kind
and I could tell, throughout our chat,
exactly what was on his mind
Now, poker is my favorite sport,
I rake in fortunes with the card,
in part, because those of his sort
make taking babies candy hard
At that, I left but told my name
and address and the time of day
that I was next to hold a game,
inviting him to come and play
Game day arrived and he was there
but came in late to join the fun
and though he dived into his chair,
the show already had begun
I poured a scotch and dealt him in,
explaining how a hand was played,
then sat where I could watch his skin
and witness any change it made
Then he allowed us all to see,
a wealth bound tightly in a wad
that, awed, I vowed eventually,
would come round to myself, by God!
A patsy if there'd ever been,
I got him taught as best I could
but plotting, thought, "If this is sin,
then please, don't ask me to be good!"
In my delight, I failed to spot,
until the night progressed a pace,
my guest caught every other pot
with not one hint wrought on his face
and as he smiled, I realized
that though my friend no clue had shown,
I'd bet you twenty mint that I'd
supplied him plenty of my own!
Thus, Lizards Poker isn't fun
and you must hold your empty seats
if you meet old Cha-me-le-on...
He's just cold-blooded, plus - he CHEATS!
============================
Hello,
hold the phone
My girl Friday is here,
and the eagle has flown
Got an increase in my cash flow;
now I can do some things,
the weekend's here, lots of places to go
First I got to swing by my buddy's house,
find out what's coming in, what's going out
I'm holding all the cards,
got my hand on the kitty
Time to get hustling,
time to get real go gitty
Before the next move, gotta take a quick time out
and enjoy the sound
Cha-ching,
that's the sound that your pockets sing,
Cha-ching,
it's the sound of a cash register ring
Cha-ching,
I'm tapping on the glass ceiling with my bling-bling
I get to briefly see what the other side of life is like,
got me another chance to drop the mike
But I gotta move fast,
make the money last as long as I can
A poor man doesn't get to live the rich life often
Cha-ching,
oh yeah, look at what a little prosperity can bring
Cha-ching,
makes you wanna buy the big meal, and eat the whole thing
Cha-ching,
I love scratching the surface of the glass ceiling
with my newly bought diamond ring
YUM CHA**
Order the way charm comes to stay:
Yield happy choice here as you find;
Use what you sum in pulse that pays;
Mind steady poise, note sumptuous signs.
Claim a sweet spot ending with joy;
Heed what you need so true worth styles;
Ask and allot, enjoy fond ploys;
Explore fine feed to frame a smile;
eXplain the mood, appease the taste;
Proof shows true form, keep tasty treats;
Rise to warm goods, eat not in haste;
Enjoy each norm of all things sweet;
Succinct and grand, urge feasts fine fare;
Special food trends tabled with flair.

Look at him.
Despecable human being.
I just wish i could,
beat him,
just for breathin'
Lying his way through, life,
like a boxer bobbin' and weavin'
I just wanna beat him for decievin'
like a politician running for office,
buildin' up our hopes,
pretendin' to make our dreams,
come true,
but whatever you do,
don't believe 'em.
Instead place your trust in me,
cause I come up with a way that no one
could blame,me,
nor put to shame,
any of us, especially me.
As I commence to walk up to him asking five little words,
before the first blow,uppercut,combo
is thrown,
laying him flat upon his back,
as everyone proceeds to laugh, when I ask
What cha say about my Mama????
that puts an end to that drama!!!!
The deceitfulness of money
Lures people in
Like a prostitute lures men
It appears as a best friend
But on its shoulder is
Disrespect, arrogance, injustice
And don’t forget it doesn’t lend
It’s selfish an avaricious
As it shows off its richness
It trades its denomination for
Big houses, big cars, trips and vacations
And power
Which has no patience
It doesn’t wait
It doesn’t sleep
It thinks
Who will I walk on next
With my feet
The feet that kick the poor because
They’re in the way from it getting more
It ignores the needs of those knocking at the
Door
Because wealth is the only thing it stores
The deceitfulness of money
Is like honey
It’s sweet
It meets
All needs
Just know
That it only honors
Greed
Inventing mousetrap. Cat's eyes closed, slowly open. Human not helping.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We hire out for birthdays the little one said.
They were throwing fish in the air, many were dead.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We are cheap and available all day long, they purred.
This was terrific news for the cat ladies who acted absurd.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We’ll pay whatever we have to, one of the old crones said.
Just then two dead salmon landed on the old biddy’s head.
Take one step forward
and 2 steps back.
Not the best way
To cross the road.
I thought I had mama all to myself, but when we got home
from the cuddly place where we had spent my first several hours,
there were all kinds of weirdos grabbing at me.
One of them is wearing the worst smelly perfume and it makes me mad
Putting me in a foul mood.
Why would anyone dunk themselves in a bottle of cologne
Before they grab up a baby?
She is rubbing me against her stinky body.
MOMMY!
I am getting ready to howl
my most angry howl.
MAWWWWWMMMMMY!
Wha! Wha! What!
What is wrong with this woman?
Why is she holding on?
There is one other strategy I can use.
I scrunch up my face muscles as hard as I can.
Aha! Now my smell rivals hers.
Yes, I am going back to Mommy, but
I will give her one lingering glare.
I am furious with this Grandma person…

Way back, September, sixty-three
Dad took us to Yosemite
It wasn't really very far
To drive there in our family car
To my blessed, and great surprise
right before our very eyes
A car rolled slowly round the bend
A famous guy, and my dad's friend!
I'd heard his name on the T.V. set
I heard it, you did too I'll bet!
If you lived back in '63
Maybe you met him, just like me
I'll never forget that glorious fall
When my dad cried
"There's Ole' What Cha McCall!"
Well, if that was not enough delight
I told my friend from school that night
Excitedly I explained to her
Just where we saw him, and where we were
She cried out "Oh we were there too! We saw
Ole What Cha McCall!!! We did too!!!"
Nearly sixty years have passed
This finally came to me at last
Ole' What Cha McCall, at Yosemite
mighta' been her dad...…….
AND the dad of me....
Though Ole' What Cha McCall
not
the same guy be!
