Best Ditty Poems

Gonna wake up 
At the brink of dawn 
Take a shower 
Throw my blue jeans on
 
The little red rooster
Is my alarm 
Cock-a-doodle doodling
On my farm
 
Gonna water
All of my crops
Especially
My barley and hops
 
Gonna spread out 
All the bales of hay
Where the goats and...

No longer will l sin

Treat my temple like a bin

Shoving all and sundry in

So l will bear and grin

Take it on the chin

To be happy in my skin

Be healthy within

No more biscuits from the tin

Against the bulge l will win

Today l will begin 

To do...

Hum ditty hum 
Fathom my fumbling thumbs
My fat fingers were fiddling
A tune that was middling
Never a merrier man than me...

A good wife
Would put the seat
Back up

Move over Rover
I did it again...

In limerick form is this ditty,

A rhyme not sublime, but it’s witty.

I’m a Word Warrior who

Kicks a rhyme like Kung-fu.

Don’t HAI-ku me. It won’t be pretty!

If ever there were a winner here
It would be Me, Myself, and I
The one you have so chosen
To hold beside you under nighttime sky
While owls hoot a lullaby
And my heart cries out a little ditty
Goodbye says my heart
To the fear, the 
Loneliness,
The unrest, so unsettled...

I once met an psychic Gypsy
Who warned me not to get tipsy
I always got drunk
But who would have thunk
I'd end up in Mrs. Shipsea*

Gonna wake up
At the brink of dawn
Take a shower
Throw my blue jeans on

The little red rooster
Is my alarm
****-a-doodle doodling
On my farm

Gonna water
All of my crops
Especially
My barley and hops

Gonna spread out
All the bales of hay
Where the goats and the horses
And the cattle stay

In the pasture
Down by...

Oh, this lovely warming trend,
mild temperatures wind does send,
flowers bud and birds awaken,
snows are past, to be forsaken,
sweaters are shed, and mittens too,
sky is now a beautiful blue,
but most of all, I think you’ll guess,
I like that now---people wear less....

You are my Snow White,
And I am your Prince Charming,
I’ve known it deep in my heart,
That no dragon nor serpent,
Nor witch’s potion,
Would ever dare to keep us apart....

grandpa's hip
to the Watusi
grandma loves
spring rolls....

There was a girl called Polly Esther,
the fastest girl from downtown Leicester.
Pre-packaged food was her sole fare,
For healthy meals she had no care.
In the tum for food there's room.
There plastic wrappings end in doom...

MOONSHINER'S DITTY - Collaboration

Gonna drink moonshine
Get drunk as a skunk
Then go into town
Beat up on some punk

Get thrown in jail 
'Til I get sobered up
Start drinking again
Then puke it all up

For Charles Messina's contest

(Make this the last stanza)...
