Best Day Old Poems

My heart was pumping hard that day I faced the maddening crowd, 
Despite the spinning in my head I stood there mighty proud. 
Though racked with pain my reddened hand acknowledged them a wave 
And to this day I've ne'er forgot, the accolades they gave....

It often trickles slowly, timid and shy
From the inner eyelid of a song
Or down the cheek of a distant mountain
A sunset rising beyond the hill, or moonlight on the window sill
A rose in bloom…a drop of dew…so tiny, sweet and beautiful
It fills a cup with...

Ronald was a tough old ram, the biggest of his breed
Daniel was a clipperman, renowned of shearing deed
Many sheep were sheared that day and woolless they had fled
Before those two met in affray and battled in the shed!

Ronald, he had seen old Wallace wrestled to...

Sat on top of High Lonesome Hill
It would scream, cry, lacked grease and oil
The lonely sound as the mountain wind would blow
Pumped ice cold water, thirsty cows would drink their fill
In the summer time, the Sun would boil
Still pumping even in the snow

Built out of...

He was out of Woodie Wonder by the stallion Sunset Hue, 
A freak thought breeding purists, who would surely end up glue. 
For greys were so unfashionable he'd never get a start, 
But this colt was a fighter with a truly valiant heart. 
 
His...

With each clenched fist that you punch me
One step closer to hell you get
For I will not always be ten years old
And each beating you will live to regret

With each open hand that you slap my face
Your coffin you’re starting to build
You may think its...

poor Walter Jacobs, a wretched soul was he
one day he said he had enough, then hung himself from a tree!

the tree was old and brittle, its branches gloomy and dead,
which snapped like a fragile twig, as Walter fell on top of his head! 

from the...

Once upon a time a little bunny was grazing
Totally innocent that something amazing
Was about to happen in an interesting way
As she was eating in the field that day

As you all must know and are very aware
That a bunny is tiny just from being a hare
Dinosaurs...

In-laws
And their flaws
Sisters and brothers
Ma’s and Pa’s

Some are sweet
Some are cold
Some are young
Some are old

They’re short
They’re tall
They talk too much
But they never call

Some will drink a coke
Others will have a beer
I hear someone saying “I’m thirsty” 
Here’s a class of water my dear

“I like rib...

I remember the old rustic barn
Long ago in the sweet month of May
My sister Louise and her newly found squeeze
Were having a roll in the hay

She'd sneak to the neighborhood bar
And drink with young Larry and Chuck
She'd dance on a table, all willing and able
And...

I reckon you could rightly say that I am from the old school,
But some of the politically correct stuff today, as a general rule,
Leaves me scratching my skull, baffled and so incredulous,
Groping for the proper words as I try to be cautious and sedulous!

When I...

Buy one, get one free!
Waste no time, come and see!

If you are looking for a metaphor
please check the green box at the front door.

Similes are in a stack, take all you want
Hiding under the wizard's hat.

Acrostic words, there are very few
But there are many old...

If it's just the organ grinder
with his little pet monkey
give him a penny 
and send him on.
 
If it's just the organ grinder
coming around to tell me
what time it is,
tell him I bought a clock.
 
I had a tolerance for the old man
and his little...
