Best Double Quick Poems

The alleyways within the maze are paved with rats and mice.

Evangelists with moneyed fists collect the sacrifice

from losers scorned and rubes reborn, and promise paradise,

while in the back they cook some crack, inhale, and roll the dice.



A bum called Boe has stubbed his toe, he’s...

SKIP TO MY LOU! ©

Harmonizing rhythms
Rotations synchronize to
Skip to My Lou
My Darlings

Couples take up ends
Two turn rope 'required'
Like me with you

Two ends
One jumper
Take turns
Work ends timing.


Double Dutch
Double quick
Pavement recounts
All the licks!

Skipped times
Challenges anew
Missteps loose turns
Rope Splits
Stop...

We have an unwanted mouse in our house
But am I permitted to kill it? No is the answer
My son suggested I leave the back door open
So it could let it self out when it was ready
My wife wants me to buy a humane trap
So I...

I could sense something was wrong

So I went to see moving carefully among the trees, 

I saw a building of harsh stone

Unforgiving standing alone, 

I crept up with stealth to see through a small window

Hoping it would reveal what was inside, 

Curious me, with my...

Raisin said, “Let’s write a poem,
Let’s try to make everything rhyme
A Limerick; maybe a sonnet
Let’s write it in double quick time?”

Rum said, “Let me get us started,
I’ll make it an everyday tale
And if we write something artistic
An agent might put it on sale.

“We will have...

Somewhere deep inside of me is a heretic and a saint.
One's heart beats double-quick while the others' fairly faint.

Sometimes if I'm still enough I can hear the one quite clear.
First a trot then a gallop;loud and thunderous in my ear.

Until all I know is day...

Oblique! 
(The day the gray line Wavered) 

It was hot again, for the third straight day, but it was the 3rd of July; the time the place was Gettysburg and the year was sixty-three 
The fence is still up at Emmitsburg Road, cried one Southern...

Hey everybody it's 
Saturday Night
And I am free and single 
And what that means is 
It's time to gather the boy's
And head downtown 

In search of a crowded dancefloor
Full of fever hottie's throwing
sexy shape's my way
Who I can lay my game on

I've had a shower...

YEAR’S END

The year’s end is near as we head to the next one. 
Already Halloween has come and gone 
and bonfire night is a warm memory. 
Soon Christmas will be here to dazzle 
us with seasons greeting and merriment for all. 
We remember what has...

Many my joys ye robbed, rob still, 
Lifelong ye played on me your trick.

Rather than cure blown bubble’s ill, 
Ye destroyed my self double quick.

When hurt O Imposter evil,
You sulked and made the real me sick.

Your whims needed a curing pill
In the form of a...

The year is galloping at an alarming pace
You want to yell whoa!
Where did spring go?

You feel like you’re riding a runaway horse
Helplessly away from the usual course

Last year didn’t go so fast
Life was just slower in the past

Quick, book a summer holiday
Double quick, it’s nearly...

The sleigh is empty
The list is ticked
It’s back to base
Double quick

Mrs. Claus is waiting
To greet me
Fidgeting around
Quite excitedly

The bags are packed
And in the sleigh
We’re off to Florida
For a holiday...

Who was such an arrogant p***k,
Turned out a sport, and double quick,
What was vulgarity
Turned into charity,
What was a faux pa, what a trick!

Kant komment keener
Loony labour greens and teals
Liberal loosers
Rorts and squeals..Alphabet soup
They they can't connect.'
Their voice was rejected.'
Whars up next? 
Reckless toothles renewable fuels
Concocted by morons, and peddled
By fools.' Elbows comrades gather round
Theres Michelle Rowland as circus clown
The narrative of four years, now gossamer thin
They've got...
