Best Comics Poems

The Keystone Cops were funny
Chaplin, Keaton, and Fields too.
Laurel & Hardy and Will Rogers
were some of the names we knew.

Who can forget the Stooges
or all the pies we saw them throw.
Who didn't laugh at the Brothers Marx
or Abbot & Costello?

Berle, Caesar, Crosby & Hope
could always...

Some of the sexiest women are Vargas’s 1940 pinup girls,
They are drawn with long hair, sensuous legs, and the right kind of curls.
Enhanced in all the right places, there is nothing that exudes sex faster 
Graphic drawings of cattish women are not the kind you...

Jewish comics like Jackie Mason
He didn't really find funny,
But he was getting hold of
The wrong end of the comedy schitck....

COMICS

Remember the comics?

Sunday morning
Paper at the door
After breakfast
Sprawled on the floor

Reading the comics

The characters
Both colorful and exciting
8 full pages
Variety    inviting

Loving the comics

Hoople and Martha
Tracy and his Tess
Every Sunday
They’re in such a mess

Laughing at the comics

Mutt and Jeff
Mutt so tall
Jeff like Stan Laurel
Vacuous...

Back in the fifties, when I was at an impressionable age,
science fiction comic books were all the rage.
Rockets rushing to the stars,
spaceships, landing on Mars.
Wrist communicators, minature TVs,
super pills, to get rid of disease.
Orbiting space stations, and satelites,
airliners, making supersonic flights.
Submersibles, plunging to fantastic depths,
free...

These sleek pages make my bimonthly bible;
Like Last Supper savored, with conviction.
They are rooted in something old, primal.
Inhaled so fast; it must be addiction.

The roles, though imagined, are dynamic.
Caution, the plots are filled with dreamy mist.
These are new classics, tragic and epic.
Triumphs are true, but...

      'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' ~
  
     Where have all the comics gone
       Long time passing

With The Dandy, The Beano
The Eagle and Dan Dare
Dick Barton on the radio
The Goon Show on air
Riders of the Range
Journey into space
We kids of the fifties
Had our special place
Glued to the wireless
No screens in sight
The Third Programme the
Home Service and the light
When Sunday night came
Waiting...

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang; bopping to the beat of my dream;
There was the court of damnation; who had gave me probation;
There were the ladies I knew; who I’d left feeling blue; 
And in the corner, a woman that claimed that I owned...

He talks to the fish
And they hear his every wish
He swims in their pee
Way out in the sea....

Not a mythical creature,
or the patriarch of a lewd, cartoon family,
you are my roommate.
Well, one of them,
and you have been for two years now. 

Superhero posters make your room your own.
Perhaps you’re concealing a secret identity
when you refuse to hang out with us;
 on late...

Brave and bold Captain America was always there
Standing up for truth and the American way
Captain America flew through the air,
So justice would prevail and save the day.
His distinctive star and billowing cape
Signs of the legend from Marvel’s comic books
He was always able to get out...

It was the second morning of “daylight savings time,” and the change was noticeable.

My BF Peter has a doctorate in applied physics, he's an expert, so I asked him, “How do they move the sun?”

He gave me one of his patented, blank looks, “What, who...
