Best Contra Poems

Stain on the coffee table.
Where did you come from?
Your brown halo. From overflowing
cup? Maybe clumsy stumble.
I don't remember seeing you
yesterday in this place. Since I
don't drink coffee 
you're probably a tea stain 
that I need to clean again....

Losing my keys can be unsettling.
Not nearly as much as finding a human skull.
Waking up naked in church is a
reoccurring dream.
Pleasant is the day when a severed finger
is found in a jar of mayonnaise
Hidden is the fact 
I lost my job at the funeral home.
For...

I got up it was way past noon
Thought I’d go for a walk.
Then, it started to rain
I’m talking heavy rain
The rain that soaks you rain.

I saw my neighbour Mrs Pratt
She was out walking her little dog.
You’ve guessed, they were wet too
I’m talking really wet.
They were...

they shake, rattle and roll,
calcium balls not for my soul,
every time they move,
it's not my groove,
I warn them to stop
and quit doing the hop, 
the doc threatens to laser,
a form of using a teaser

I've got the kidney stone blues

in the middle of the night,
they wake...

I find the matter timid...
awful and cont rare...

...To my belief I find your comment...
has caught you unaware...

A momentary contradiction...

your judgement is impaired...

hold yourself in allegiance...

...civil tongue in tow...

...until the dust has settled...

...again I find the matter timid...

To my belief I find your comment 
has caught...

Hear Me, O Muse, no moos or cluckings, muckings or horns of fog

Do sound the clamoring claxons of the bardics that be written by William McGonagal o’ the Bog,

That Laird of Lamentations Disastrous, that Scot Wha’ Hey Nonny Nonny,

Laureate of the quite awful woeful grueful...

Stupid poem,
Makes no sense,
Nonsense words,
Falling off the page,
Looking sideways
Words don’t fit
No rhyme
No tempo
Bound for the trash
Wasted paper                           and ink
But...

With lightened heart and care-loosed feet
setting out hand-in-hand
to Celtic tune and callers bleat
of "hay," "gypsy," "allemand."

All that satin, cotton and silk
a'twirl in twos and fours,
topped by smiles white as milk
on dancers by the score.

Away sad thoughts, can you not see?
The dance is on, it's time...

Yesterday we had our vaccination,
Developed no hallucinations
And certainly no indications 
Of symptoms, as per some perceptions

Feel good we had this vaccination
Giving us some protection,
Was over in a second, no hallucinations,
Or contra indications.

Arm was painful, no more or less, a revelation
2nd phase Pfeizer, need no persuasion
Indeed,...

Is it my karma or fate,
I never lose my head
but lost my hair
       (ha, what a waste!)
very early in life
when I was young,
and you know, 
     not quite complicate.
Now I am bald
so, I wear a...

I stepped in a puddle
of mud. It was in a rut in
the road. 
It splashed on my pant leg and
I couldn't clean it up up by hand.
I was angry. I wasn't too much hurt.
Today. I came back. The sun had been
shining and now it is...
