Best Dum Poems

Meet Tweedle Dum and Tweedle-Dee
Two of a kind they both lived in a tree
Way high up on the upper most branch
Not afraid of heights but why take a chance

I fail to see why they're living up there
They don't have a bed, they don't have a...

Tweedle-dum and twiddle-dee-dee!

   Fiddle-faddle and fiddle-dee-dee!

      Now who can make sense of that silly verse?

         Now that I think on it, I've written much vurse!

“Tweedle, my dear, are you Dee or Dum?”
“I’m neither Dum nor Dee, but Doo, you see”
“I’ve never heard of Doo; of the Tweedles that is”
“Well I’m Doo, and I do say so to you”

“For I am the third offspring of the Tweedles
I don’t like needles...

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
are two friends of mine.
They hung out with dear Alice.
They knew her in her prime.
They smoked some dope,
least that's the hope,
in caterpillar time,
oh, tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum,
they are two friends of mine.

Mr. Dum loved the Cheshire cat
Mr. Dee the Jabberwocky,
both...

There once was a lady from London
Whose blouse inadvertently came undone
Out popped this guy
With two dark brown eyes
And a jolly jiggle, dum-dee-um-dum

Through the sandy paths of Mbaraegbu
Egbu's menacing stature a spur on
I balled through dusty Mbaraobom
Bought agidi ocha at Mbaraicheku
Unfulfilled,I waltzed pass Ndoru 
To Okpara Square,then Eleme
Golden Tulip held no solace
Rosie,a snooker consolation

I wanted more
Emptiness,my gratification
Then,you nimbly came
Greatness in physique was not your gift
But your brains...

Said Tweedle Dee to Tweedle Dum
Perhaps the time has finally come,
For us to pick out different names,
And stop our playing at childish games.

Dum was sure that he couldn’t agree more,
And the reason was far too big to ignore.
Having names that made people delirious,
Meant that no...

you are a shell
god blows music
of bliss you are
a string god
caresses
green chords of love
just be you let
the god enter freely
prepare to receive
music flows
clean up your shells
tune up your strings
god surprises
be ready prepared
live in this moment
you cannot prepare
too late god gone
you cant dwell
in yesterday
dusted shells
untuned strings
god...

Dum de Dum
I play all day long, while strumming my black and grey tented guitar into a funky tune
A vibration of eagerness and excitement fills me, inside the pit of my stomach
My black painted smooth lips lift off of my face, and into an upright...

Tweedledee And Tweedledum

Hohoho....
A tweedledee and a tweedledum.....
LGE case looked like a legal process by people so dumb...
BN govmen wanted to make a capital case out of LGE....
They wanted to puncture his bubble of popularity with the masses....
And to sully his growing influence and reputation...
With little...

The province of delayed gratification
Poetry is dead.

There is now no appetite for deep reflection
In this far from limpid pool.
Abhorrent is meditation
To  the present lords of all misrule.
Carpe diem once was for the nonce
Its writ now runs for aye.

Omnivorous science depredates
The very bones of our...

’Twas a drummer who drummed on his drum
using two fingers and his right thumb.
To an anapest’s ear,
it would sound pretty clear;
to the rest, lacked a certain aplomb.

erratic affairs muddle mindsets
confront life with unlike aspects
can’t let the wiseacre tell a lie 
I cried the day the music died
fractals repeat their eternal patterns
like fairy tales forever and after 
chanciness of life unravels
alter egos by-gone in travels
early on pace your time deftly
and scrawl your...
