Best Doris Poems

Where have you been! you silly man!
don't blame it all on tryptophan! 

Maladies from Malta mutATE and Gur G....itate!
as Jimbo watched the Vikings dominate!

It's true my kind heart is totally fake!
football first sweetheart!.... hope your fever breaks!

Dear Charma, you've got snow! make an ice-pack!

Doris' procedure is today
Remember her
It is laparoscopic which is not as bad as open incision but still surgery
 
Followed by only clear liquids for a week

Then protein shakes

Then pureed baby food

Then food introduced slowly

She was really anxious yesterday..Concerned if she had made the right decision,...

Platinum Beauty
Quick with a smile
Electrify the movie screen

Timeless charms and fashions bold
A voice of velvet and feminine brawn
Works to get the job well done 
Even with life's complications in tow

Lover of animals great and small
Cute and furry gets the love
Kind and well liked by her...

A puppeteer and a columnist
Two greeting persons of great talent
A writer and a simple artist
Met in New York on a bench God-sent
Acquaintance that brought humor and scent
To watchers and walkers awed with skill
Moving and talking puppets that shrill...

Boris and Doris


There was a man name Boris
who had a wife name Doris
when he coughed
wife did scoff
they both couldn't sing chorus.

There once was a sweet girl named Doris 
who kept a big pet brontosaurus.  
All day long they would play 
after which they would pray 
and sing the Hallelujah Chorus.

Doris Lessing is dead,
And she's not a feminist,
An uninhibited outspoken 
novelist,
She's also sociable and 
artistic.

Mind you she's no easy meat,
Won the Nobel Prize for a 
lifetime writing,
Passed away at the age of 
ninety four,
And her memories through 
her books will continue.

Swimming, life carefree
Net tightens around the school
Deliverance, grace

May your hook always be cast
Where you least expect fish caught

Synergism, save
These lost fish, grateful intent 
Catch and release, Life

Responsible now
Freedom, new life in warm water
Breach, spout words, joy, sing

School of life, protective school
Numbers rise with the right...

Thank God you’re not driving the short one,

Been riding school buses since my feet would dangle.
Long and yellow...

Granny Doris Lives On

“There’s no such thing as rain in Tintagel”.
That’s what my Granny Doris says.
“It’s always lovely weather 
For grabbing a bag of pegs”.

She ‘heave-ho’s’ wet laundry
Into a basket wide,
Then tugs and grumbles
To drag it all outside.

There’s no such thing as rain in Tintagel
Enough...

Cats on roof in snow
Sentinels watching looking
Without open eyes

The jet flies the governor's
Course set to adultery

Cat slips on frozen 
Snow, claws grip the edge, below
A fire awaits..... fate

Death takes the pilot,
In midair the govenor
Yearns...jet burst apart

Cat's grip is weak claws strip falls
Clings to  governor's...

A quiet almost abrupt person
Believes in heaven and eternity
Culverhouse, cuddly cheer giver
Dang dandy Doris
Enjoys food rich and sweet
Funny in a dry sort of way
Girl in my mind freckles and bangs
Handy and loves to learn


For Tracie Edwards contest
thanks for the inspiration!!...

To the “mother” I wish I had,
To the sister I wish I knew,
I want you to know this,
I love you!
	I want God to bless you,
Even more than me,
When you die, I want you to go,
To Heaven for eternity.
	May God lift your voice,
To Heaven up above,
And...
