Best Dale Poems
A Collage For DaleHere you are, only twelve, at our kitchen table.
Such a carrot top you were! Strangers used to think
you were our red-head mother’s natural son.

it was you in...

Doggy Dale
We once had a doggy named Dale
That loved taking hold of his tail
He’d chase it all-day
In circles, he’d play-
When able to snatch it he’d wail!

I’ve never personally known another man
with as much intelligence...

Pole Dancing - For DaleAn acrobat whose name is Dale
Went pole dancing with his wife Gail
When he did the starfish
He looked such a dish
But suddenly Gail's face turned pale
As he performed his sexy pole dance
He'd got no undies under his pants
Poor...

Ode To Chocolate Collaboration With Dale Gregory CozartTo chocolate I pay my respects
Some folks say its better than sex
whether milk dark or white
Ev’ry bar I must bite

Give me a constant supply
On days that...

not just to us - but everyone
Dale lives on in our...

Dear Dale, So LovedDear Dale, so loved were you
that even now, thirty-nine years later,
you live inside the dreams
of your siblings. I suppose this to be true
since I, at least, have had you in my dreams.
Dear Dale, you came to live with me and my sisters
when I was halfway...

Dale the BraveMy life flashed before my eyes as I sat in the driver’s seat
I clung to the wheel for dear life

Had he written out a will
Drafted Out...

Dusky DalePainted with magical hues
That glistening lake
Reflecting embellished sky
Time to take a break
Waiting for night’s veil
Chirping birds racing to perch
In my dusky dale
