Best Darryl Poems
I read Darryl Ashton’s poem Called Pinocchio Rex and this brought back
memories of a childhood incident
When I grew up we had a smallholding – the house was called ‘Longacre’ as we
had over an acre of land. Over the years we had chickens, pigs named Pinky
and Porky and a goat called Susie… she had kids called Billy and Nanny – guess
I was no good at names back then… but I digress
Attached to the house was a small village shop but my parents also made a
small income from selling fresh eggs and in the summer home grown
strawberries – I would help pick washing baskets of them and bag them up to
sell.
Every week a little old man would arrive for his dozen eggs and if the shop was
shut he would ring the doorbell. He wore a pointed felt hat, had steely blue
eyes and the most enormous nose you have ever seen. Unbeknownst to him
my parents nicknamed him 'Pinocchio'.
When I was aged about 7 years old the doorbell rang – mum was busy baking
in the kitchen so I answered it. There in front of me stood this old man wanting
his eggs. Mum shouted from the kitchen
‘Who is it Janet?’
I replied ‘Oh its only Pinocchio’
At once mum appeared from the kitchen, her face was the colour of beetroot.
She apologised for the comment from her ‘cheeky daughter’ The man
purchased his eggs and walked away – never to return!
The moral of this true tale is that parents ALWAYS tell the truth and that
children have ears the size of an elephant and a mouth just as big … so if you
don’t want them to repeat something YOU have said keep it zipped!

A birthday is always a special day
A day that comes round each year
Celebrate it and surround yourself
With loved ones far and near
This day doesn't only resemble your birth
It's also a day to enjoy
The fact your living alive with life
Every man, woman, girl and boy
As you get older you start to know
The things life has in store for you
Make every effort count in life
See your journey in life through
Don't let no joy be taken away
From you as you walk each day
Knowing that theres a purpose for something
In your life so to you I say
Challenge the impossible for nothing in life is
Speak out to those who care to hear
Where there is a roadblock theres always a passage
Battle through it year after year
Time is ticking the hour is unknown
Be wise stay encouraged and be strong
Do what it takes to make your ends meet
In this life that seems so long
Happy Birthday to all who shares this day
May this message bring warmth to your heart
Make a wish for the moment and stick with it
For everyday is a fresh new start.

There once was a brewer named Darryl
Who when working wore such odd apparel
He’d remove all his clothes
Saying ‘I don’t need those’
And prance naked all day in a barrel

Scottie is a cat,
But Darryl is a dog,
They play fight all day.
I want to write a funny poem now
after reading Darryl's poem
Why do men think there is no tomorrow?
Because they always want it today
What does a bird say to a bee?
Watch me haha
I'd better keep it clean
Keep it down, will you?
The neighbors are sleeping ha
Is there earthquake around here?
I heard the ground is shaking
Don't be too long
I'm coming haha
That's it for now
I hope you enjoy it
Earthshaking moves
Easy will ya?
Inspired by Darryl Ashton's "Body Talk - remotely" poem. Thanks, Darryl :)

It was on a Sunday you chose to leave
And I was very sad to see you go
You had other family you needed to see
But I shall really miss you so
There was Mom and Dad and Brother Darryl
And of course sisters Donna, Shirley and Kay
Cousins Larry, Henry, Danny, and Kurt
That you will also see along the way
All the people you have left behind
Understand why you had to leave
We will always love you
This you really must believe
I know you are in a wonderful place
And my missing you shall never cease
There are others that share this feeling too
So dear brother please, please,
Rest in peace

What are these translucent blue balls doing in my dungeon-lobby?
I shall chase them away with my fire-spouting stick!
I'll even use my hand to summon fire,
Though it gives me migraines to do so,
But there are just too many translucent blue balls!
Much more than last week.
Ohh! The migraine...it begins. Which means my flowing
Brown hair will dampen from perspiration which means
I must shampoo it AGAIN (the second time today).
I wish my roommate Ronald would stop staring at me
From the back of our dungeon-lobby.
What does he think this is, a show at the Mirage in Vegas?
These are LETHAL translucent blue balls!!!
I am saving Ronald's life as well as mine.
I just wish he'd just shut-up about hoping to see some white tigers--
It's not funny! My head is KILLING me!
Oh, great. Here comes the rest of the dungeon-apartment-complex:
Harry, Darryl, Phillip, and Samantha. I should really be charging them for this.
Don't they realize one translucent blue ball in the face will turn their brains into
macaroni and cheese?!?! I mean for Heaven's Sakes, we all chipped in to buy
Our own fire-spouting sticks! Harry lost his in the lake, Darryl left his at his
Parent's house on Christmas vacation, Phillip traded his for an IPad,
And Samantha is "fervently against" the usage of fire-spouting sticks
Since it's "horrendous for the environment" but got one anyway
so we could get the 5-stick package deal of 20% off--she can be a real
Sweet heart in that sense.
But honestly, bad for the environment?? You know what else is bad for the environment?
TRANSLUCENT BLUE BALLS!!!
I need a nap after this.
And shampoo.
A better gentleman there never was
Kind loving and generous man
Bon vivant and lavish tipper
Articulate, meticulous and dressed to the nines
Phoned his mother every Sunday religiously
Never a bad thing to say about anyone
It was a Friday after work
Celebrating the end of the week
More exuberant than usual
Spring was in the air
The days were getting longer
And the breeze warmer
He loved life till the very last minute
When it wasn’t baseball
It was Texas Hold’em
Then that fateful Friday afternoon he said
‘Tell my family I love them’
Just like that
We buried him on St.Patrick’s Day
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon
I’ll never forget that one final glance
That one lone sentinel by his grave
Standing guard
Up on that hill against the setting sun
A fitting tribute honouring
A man who had lived and loved
Every blessed day of his life

"Good morning and welcome to Personal Savings…”
Here we go, it begins – the rantings and ravings…
“At last!,” screamed the lady, “what’s taking so long?
To pick up your phone – I can’t stand that song!
Your service is shocking,
My password keeps blocking,
I’m ringing for hours and frankly it’s wrong
That I send you a cheque on April the third
And now it is August and still I’ve not heard!”
“Right-ho,” I replied, “so this cheque of yours,
Let’s look at this further,” as I stalled for a pause,
For I knew in my head
That her cheque was dead
And four months from sending? This was a lost cause!
“Can’t hear you!” she bellowed, “I’m deaf in this ear,
So shout down the phone, boy, and make it real clear!”
If that ear is deaf then why don’t you switch?
Try using the other, you crazy old witch…
“O-kay… so you sent it, but have you some proof?”
“What’s your name?” she demanded.I told her the truth:
“I’m Daniel”, “What, Darren!?”
“No, Daniel”, “You’re Darryl!?”
“No – Daniel, I’m Daniel! Not Darren or Darryl
Nor Derrick or Duncan or Dennis or Carol
Just Daniel, you hear me! Why phone if you’re deaf?
“Now please let me transfer your call through to…Jeff.”
Yeah, Jeff – he’s superb! He’ll sort it all out
He thrives on abuse and he loves a good shout
Just hold for two seconds
And see what he reckons
He’s never at lunch and he’s never in doubt…”
So long then, dear madam, I know that I’ll miss you
“And, oh, you should know that we’ve launched a new issue”
“A tissue!?…” she roared, as I slammed down the phone
But all that she heard was a dull monotone...
Describing you God using one Word
is Holy worthy God by far
You gave breathe to your creation
all glory shows who you are
Your love is greater than mans
it's an everlasting endless water fountain
Greater than treasures from this land
greater than sight from a mountain
If any man turns from me
oh God I know you never will
On lease you gave all life
with your plan God to fulfill
If any man label or judge me
Lord God I know you forgive
For not one man is perfect
your Word told all who live
You know all through your creation
even before it performs it's cast
You are Jehovah creator of all
even days of life gone past
The world is on borrowed time
the clocks ticking down the hour
For this world has lost it's way
God is coming to take mans power
Bless the beauty of Gods creation
bless everything you've given life to
May your Holy Spirit fill each man
for everything was given by you.

I saw him on that last Sunday
I gave him a hug and a kiss
I told him he works to hard
and on Sunday's of him I did miss
he told me today was his birthday
I told him that was wrong
for not giving the church congregation
a chance to sing him a birthday song
as we're standing near the pulpit
I turned to the remaining crowd
I said, "today is Darryl's birthday "
in a voice clear and loud
so we gathered together
and we all started to sing
the birthday song to let Darryl know
to us what he means
we said we love you and
we wish you all the best
as a fellow child of God
we know that you are blessed
I was unaware that that would be the very last time
that I would see my dear friend Darryl Baskins alive
but I'm glad I got that chance to give him
my last hug and my last kiss
because he was my dear friend
and of him I will truly miss
Great blessings belong to all those who
have Faith in Christ to know
His Word to understand His love
so His seed in you will grow
Great blessings belong to all those who
share the greatness, praises and joy
Of God to every grown man and woman
including every little girl and boy
Great blessings belong to all those who
accept a person as they are
For perfection does not exist in mankind
even with the fanciest job or car
Great blessings belong to all those who
pray for others whether rich or poor
Or sick, or hurt, or tempted or lost
without food, a roof or a door
Great blessings belong to all those who
follow God when He makes a way
For something He's planned for your life
not just for tomorrow but everyday
Great blessings belong to all those who
understand change and what it can do
In your life from this moment on with God
From God I say this onto you
Every person every body shout praise to God
God sent Moses to set us free
From Egypt than after Jesus died for us
through sin He died saving you and me.

Encouraged
Through the wilderness I walk astray
for I was lost without a way
To head or go without a sign
each day I feel I walk the line
I have feelings as you do
I care to listen you care too
Share with me I'll share with you
for what I learn I never knew
We're all human please treat me right
regardless of what you hear in sight
For my words I wouldn't twist
gossip is stories some words are missed
I'm here on a mission and plan
My voice be heard to every man
We are all damaged and brokenhearted
did you know life each day restarted
You can fix any mess you make
put your effort in to take
A better look in the mirror
at who you are why your here
Don't think that God's not watching
His eyes don't skip a beat
He mends broken hearts in people
so encourage everyone you meet
Encourage everyone blind or sick
or lost in full temptation
Show them the way through you're guidance
regardless how severe the situation
Throw away the negativity you carry
for not every man is the same
Everyone learned through things differently
sometimes there are some you can't blame
Nor look at them different or act
as if you haven't the slightest clue
When you really don't and just pretend
and judge people like others do
I was broken and I was lost
Still I'm strong to fight it on
Through this world that seems like hell
For at every moment life is gone.

Bullies are the politics of this universal world
who enjoy the smell of war inflicting endless pain
Who put others down in the presence of others
leaving you to bleed out stranded in the rain
Bullies only bully for they refuse to understand
what it's like to go through something and fail
Through choices they made leading up to that point
leaving them a drift in the wilderness to sail
Bullies attack you with broken hearts caused by
how they were brought up as no one really gave
Them discipline to teach them without abuse to know
the dangers of creating a political wave
Bullies will try and make you change the way
you think and feel about opinions regarding you
The most hateful words without any description
of explaining why they feel those words are true
Bullies are like wolves some as wild as bears
animals that are hungry always looking to feast
Off the people who they see as weak or vulnerable
as if your a lifeless person who has already been deceased
Bullies think that their power is beyond any person who
is trying to progress and move forward to make
A better life for themselves so others can see that
it isn't impossible to turn from a past or present mistake
Bulllies walk with pride in the seeds that they sow
apon others when really they are the ones that
Say you are ugly, no good, uneducated, mind twisted,
a wanna be thug, you're race or call you fat
Friends a bully is a person who has a life like you
though they try to believe they are better in some way
Yet they don't realize that karma really does exist
which will come back on their life somehow one day
Let no words from a political bully bother you for
their words are meaningless with nothing but hate
Which is something we as people shouldn't let at all be
a self label from others trying to predict you're own fate
Bullies be prepared shame on all of you that go
around thinking you're all that with no good news to share
Being the one who doesn't take life seriously or simply
become grown to the point that you really don't care
About what you say to others or how you treat them at times
regardless of anything you choose to do or claim to speak
Words that are foul with judgement that seems so everlasting
towards people who are really strong who you only think are weak.
