Best Doing Poems

The ruffle of fleece at her neck
makes her feel manufactured, not born—
brushstrokes of windswept wool,
all soft edges and curves
the color of old milk.

Her lips were no artist's accident,
nor the smirk as she lurks
in the corner more knowing 
than any ewe usually dares. 
Coy smile, a...

Dedicated to one of my favorite actors, Morgan Freeman


“Driving Miss Daisy” was driving him crazy
   So old Morgan Freeman assumed a new role
It proved much more fun next to Jack Nicholson
   “Bucket List” jumping through an atmosphere cool
 
With Brad Pitt,...

DOING GOOD
   

“Tired am I”, 
You told me the other day my friend, 
“for many good deeds have I been doing for so long 
but 
recognition for my contribution haven’t I received 
any, why?”

Here is my reply to you, gentle friend of mine

Santa’s helpers, take a break
From the toys they like to make
And just for pure fun's sake
They dance the Santa Shuffle

Rudolph with his nose so bright
Likes to dance all through the night
Dances until the morning light
Doing the Santa Shuffle

Frosty Snowman dons his hat
Often he pops in...

Husbands, raise your hands
Keep them up if you love your wife
Keep them up if you colour your wifes hair
Okay, this is for the three of us that are left....


I did my wife a favour
As I do, because I can
I help her when I'm able
Not just...

It's rocking an empty flowerpot perched
in a pine tree:  'RockABye Baby in the High Top,'
its contents shell shocked in this February 
of zero wind chill.  It's the heart's empty nest,  
cold ripple of a lake that threatens to overtake, 
were it not...

(Funny Children's poem)


Peter! Peter!
Where are you?
I am right here mom
I am coming now!

That was my mom
And she's calling me
I'm drinking a glass of milk
But I better run or she'll get mad at me

Peter! Peter!
What was that horrible noise that
I just heard coming from the kitchen
Tell...

I did the I DO
It's the best thing I've done
The decision to Marry
My special one

Sure some people
Think single is great
That's okay for them
I chose not to wait

Once I found her
I moved  real fast
I wouldn't let
Opportunity pass

Woman of my dreams
Not just a cliche'
For me no...

I want sombody that can see what im doing here.
From every word that goes to your eye then your ear.
What does he mean some sometimes subliminly say.
Not that it doesnt go out and over the other ear anyway.

What are you doing on this planet?

Are you just walking around like a chick magnet?

Well I don't want to attract the wrong crowd

Coz that's not what I'm worried about

I'm here trying to save people from the power of hell [1] 

Proclaiming the truth of Jesus...

Sometimes l tire of doing what others require
What is expected and to appease
When in honesty the answer is “No Thank you”
Instead l voice “Yes Please”

An invitation to a gathering or event
I do not wish to attend
At the risk of being anti -social or rude

Time is too precious
To be frittered today
There are not enough hours
As the sand runs away 

But I halt my obsession
With the ticks and the tocks
Or the tasks to be done
Or the hands on the clocks 

That fly round so quickly
As if life slips away..
For the...
