Best Flap Poems

A step too far, brings right of passage to a ledge
Fluttering at cliff walls, pushing life’s brittle edge
A sheer instinctive thrust, with no trust to pledge
Now or never moment, undermines fear’s wedge
A chick leaps off, flailing frail wings fail to fledge
Featherweight of hope meets a...

The fly
On a bowl's rim
Fresh banana nut bread  
Aroma floats as a fly dies
Sweet Death...

Oh,doctor I am in a flap
I cannot turn this childproof cap
I cannot take my medicine
So I shall toss it in the bin

The beta blockers make me down
I am in a study brown.
The mini aspirins make me bruise
And my mind is quite confused.

The ibuprofen hurt my...

You act like you’re all that -
gaining green when you rap,
but I say lines of utter crap
come from your verbal flap.
You lack and I can back that.

My slapjack, whapping facts
would not be rinsed with tact
since odds are a massive stack
of my fly responses so snap
they’ll...

There once was a fellow named Todd
Who had a very strange habit, quite odd
When girlies came near
He would flap both his ears
To signal he was ready, yesireebob!

The Barbie Doll Flap

By Elton Camp

A group of folks are raising hell
Asking a fat Barbie from Mattel

Should a doll be impossibly thin
Or preferable to have a double chin?

Seems to me that what we’ve got
Is the classic “tempest in a teapot”

A girl won’t be traumatized either...

The flap on the Coffee Cup
bothers me so.
Not staying in place,
where it should.

How something so simple and small,
could stand a chance at all,
for reaching the Thoughts in My Head,
puzzles me so.

So insignificant, 
with little importance,
perhaps trying to hide 
the more important worries that wander My...

Well wobbling around in a pear tree dressed in a space suit can be very very dangerous. You might fall. And fallings are failings and failings flay the flesh from even the smallest atom that arrives in a puddle so never question the movements of...

Oooh look. Oh wow. Correlating jumping twists and combinations of bunnies,irons,toothbrushes and eye lash curlers. Turn then a stick. Rotational gravitation and melodically performed interludes. Such magnifications of a single note. Kissing a kindling to produce an even steady glow. Epitomising myth,fables and heavily guarded...

The bare branches were shaking,
twigs rattled like ill-fitting teeth.


I thought:
'any moment now
the coal black lumpiness of them
will break a bough,
and all tumble down or up,
creating sky-slides of avian tumult'.


They jousted at each other,
clattering their sharp quilled feathers
like angry Black Knights.

The very air shook as they...

what birds might think about planes

They obviously shave everywhere

Ehh you can see into it’s stomach

His farts stick the smell is everywhere 

I talk to him not a peep from him


I might do one what sheep think of clouds

Are they scared to jump in case the...

Off she took her leathery cap 
For an apparently sought nap
She had secured with a milky pap,
Her decided pillow Bob’s lap
But with her trousers’ flap
Open like Satan’s trap,
Thus, her sleep intentions making a crap
And she a target for Christian Mother’s slap,
On her head an upset...
