Best Early Bird Gets The Worm Poems


Gobble-De-Gook
Here’s a bunch of Gobble-de-Gook
There is no sense or reason
I just threw together some stuff I read
Which constitutes poetic treason!

Here’s a fact about knowledge and wisdom
A fact which I know is valid
Knowledge is knowing a Tomato’s a fruit
Wisdom- not putting it in a Fruit Salad!

First there was the glamorized Birdman of Alcatraz
While in the White House lived Lady Bird and Lucy Bird
   Sesame Street, of course, brought us all Big Bird

The world of sports has given us a birds-eye view of
Larry Bird, Mark 'the Bird' Fydrich, not...

Hollywood Lottery Game
the early bird gets the worm
wake up in the morning to be told
what one of the winning numbers is
playing along
can you figure out
the metaphors throughout the scenes
from music to movies
and wherever else

an amazing statement
and finaly you know
there is method to all your madness

so many scenes...

You know why I run game? It's 'cause I'm a player
I'm the night in shining armor, she's a dragon, I'm gon' slay her
That means when I beat it up, I'm gonna kill it
Tell her keep our business to herself, don't spill it
Can't follow directions, then...

The early bird gets the worm
Or so they always say
As he squirms what does the worm earn
For minding his business in clay?
Watching blue birds fly about singing various tunes
The red birds song sing of home in the month of June.

Object to crave
hands off me
i find myself
looking at the keys in the stars in my space
warlords of times of slavery
tortured innocents
never ending labour for underpaid children
smelling burnt flesh
because someone taught her how to swim

he came
we forgot
we are not fooled again

Reliable
And viable
Among familiar objects or those that are unidentifiable
And unrecognizable
Items rigid or pliable
It's just undeniable
It won't always be justifiable
If the odds are good or considered unsurvivable
It'll be despised or likable
Recommended or inadvisable

Down to the very last minute
Consistent
And efficient
Following through on commitments
While using similar and different...

A Robin Redbreast, as conspicuous as a crimson drop of blood,
stands out against an alabaster landscape of Winter's white.
While hunting for worms, it starts scratching
at small patches of green grass and sprouting snowdrops.
And its persistence pays off, for to my astonishment,
I watch Nature's magician pull...

What It Did
Four o’clock sure comes quickly
The early bird gets the worm
Meetings at 6:30
I’ve worked so hard for all I’ve earned
 
I was focused on the future
Trying to build my legacy
Rising to the top
I lost all sight of you and me
 
{Pre-chorus}
 
Yea - I lost my...

Questions

If form follows function,
why does everything have too many bells and whistles?
Especially cell phone.

If everything is so simple a rocket scientist could do it,
why aren’t we all Werner von Braun’s?
Checkbooks are a mystery.

If the early bird gets the worm,
why are there birds out getting worms...
