Best Embarrassment Poems

The pipe major at the front led the way
On this cold and windy St Patrick's day 
He was six foot and well built 
A freak gust blew up his kilt
The crowd cheered at his manhood on display... ...

An event I have to tell you about was a rather embarrassing occasion for me,
But they say laughter is one of life’s best medicines, so I’ll share it with you happily.

One morning I was getting dressed and got down on my knees to look in...

1st amendment atrocities
Secondary nature

Pound for pound
They scream above holy lungs
Of righteous contradictions

As humanity continues to dry-hump “social” media,
Their sedentary psychiatrist

Judgmental lip smacks
Chapped from the arrogant vowels
They spit
Another syllabic lyric
Within our home of the “free”

Our 50 stars become 50 irrational assault rifles
In order to become bullet...

To say today has been a strange day would be an understatement. It started off this morning when I went into the den where our eldest cat, Paint, was meowing up a storm. I petted her head a few times and no joke she keeled...

Have you ever felt nervous to the point of no return,
your face is getting red and your forehead soon to burn,
you can't think clearly wondering what you'll do,
and while all of this is happening your trying to stay true.

 Stay true to you and who...

Aunt Boo posted everything on social media.
Misspelling words, never using Wikipedia.
Atrocious punctuation was almost laughable.
Her caustic posts were anything but affable.
She had warnings all the time by those who knew.
She never verified facts - not a great thing to do. 
People were consistently threatening to...

For many years...  My life has been
an embarrassment!
Filled with hopelessness
 and discouragement!

Many things I thought I had enjoyed...
Have left in me...   A large and empty void!

Many nights, I would 
cry myself to sleep.
Knowing the hole my life was in, 
was very, very...

Embarrassment at the Big Box Store

By Elton Camp

Sue was checking out at the crowded store
Then occurred something that she did abhor

Although the checker tried to do it twice,
A bar code just wouldn’t scan—no dice

So, loudly over the store’s public address
The equipment malfunction he did confess

“On...

 The food tasted so very yummy 
He crammed it all in his tummy
Soon he wanted to poo
But there was no loo
Had it before found a toilet crummy

I planned all night that when I saw you we would finally converse and that I would finally get to know you better.
Between all of the passing glances.
And not being able to catch up to you sooner.
Tomorrow would be the day I catch you when...

Mine slovenly unkempt appearance spelled embarrassment

spurred by most recent therapy session 
with Renee Cardone
whereby thematic thread
stitched how yours truly sewed
coping modus operandi,
viz avoiding emotionally volatile situations
courtesy mine trademark signature reactions 
rather than be in compliance with expectations.

Said nonconformist passive rebelliousness 
especially affected our eldest daughter...

My freshman year is ending and I’m as busy as a one-armed juggler. Of course covid is back. 
It reoccurs at the worst times, like a movie slasher long thought dead.

When we have something scheduled very early in the morning, we call it an “early-burn.”...

Week before middle school
Twelve and shy
Sent to get haircut
With three dollars
Clippers were brought out
I was too scared to look
I had never had a store-bought haircut before
The man had a funny smell.
I would not know it was alcohol for several more years.
He sang while he used...

The party’s going well, the drinks are flowing fast,
When someone saunters over from my long and distant past.
‘Hello’ I say sheepishly, for his name I do not know,
Is it Frank or maybe Steve? I hope it doesn’t show. 

‘Where are you working these days?’ a...
