Best Gilligan Poems


All the Things You Are
You are the hummer beside me at Carmen
The source of BO on the airplane
A  loudmouth divulging the plot at a movie
And the noisy drunk at the concert I saved for all year

You are the Gilligan on my island.

You are the pop quiz in Organic...

Premium Member Leavit and the Muscrat Gang
Armadilly Billy needed repair work on the home, as he wanted to move in.
Asking around Troll Lake Town, the answer was Leavit, again and again.
A bit confused, he needed repairs; he couldn’t leave it, like they said, therein.
So he picked up the Acme phone book,...

Father and Mother
Long, long ago, there lived a priest, 
Peter Gilligan by name, in an Irish village
One day, the weary priest had summons
From a destitute parishioner,
Whose husband, very old, was on his death bed.
Tired as he was, 
The old priest dropped asleep on his chair,
Only to wake...

Premium Member A Mary Ann Kind'A Guy
I knew back then when I was a little boy
Though I didn’t quite understand why
That when the girls I would start to enjoy
I was bound to be a Mary Ann kind’a guy.

Although to be honest, I certainly must admit
Something about Ginger had really caught my...

Island of Fantasy
If I had an Island that was my very own.
I would construct it carefully - then responsibilities be BLOWN!
The structures would be similar to those that Gilligan had.
With a moderate mix of Mr. Roarke's - then I'd be really glad!

All my structures would be in...

Boomer Tv
Can you remember Lost in Space, Bonanza and Gunsmoke?
How about Leave it to Beaver—all the fun they`d poke?
The Dick VanDyke Show made us laugh, and so did Mr Ed.
And all the married couples had to stay in their own bed.
Jeannie couldn`t show her navel. ...

A woman stood on the rocks looking out to the sea.
She was once a famous Hollywood redhead beauty.
This actress starred in many movies her fans would see.
However, she now dwells in hopeless obscurity.

A boat Ginger boarded was named the SS Minnow.
However, Ms Grant had no...

Nervous Love Rant
-Why am I nervous to write feelings down I didn't know I was feeling.
-An urge to write, a feeling to.. articulate.
-What am I scared of as my write handles trembles, as I scribble nothings.
-Is there something important I should be saying.
-Staring..at..my..last..thought
-Waiting and hoping the next...

Premium Member Craziest Time In the Inlet
A true story:

Boarded our boat, four of us — one was Gilligan. Map in hand, did we understand?  Enough to sail to the jewelry store! Ahh...a ceramic necklace and matching earrings ~ black and white heaven of St. Maarten. Sleepy eateries closed.

She Has Away About Her
she has this way about her
she will be my Gilligan stumbling zanly through my heart as my soul laughs, and smiles even giggles
she has this way about her
she will become my Helen as I launch a thousand ships build a giant horse
she has this way...

Not Your Father's Reaper
You pick a fight to live today,
You tell the time you saw the dreamed-of shore 
of an island, Gilligan,
Gentle wind at your cheek,
A kiss parting lips caress,
A day wide-eyed as a lamb,
But then the harrow got you.

So swing your partner, men sashay,
Sad to say I...

Zenith University
Zenith University   

I am a proud graduate  
of Zenith University,  
where the quality stays on  
until the little dot  
shrinks and goes away.  

I attended that fine institution  
with Tom and Jerry,  
Heckl, Jeckl, Mickey, Minnie,  
Da?y, Donald, Daisy,  
Huey, Dewey, Louie,  
Speedy, Wile E., Gumby, Pokey,  
Yogi, Boo Boo, Dino, Chucko,  
Hobo Kelley, Lassie, Bozo,  
Betty, Barney, Bam Bam Rubble, 
Wilma, Pebbles, Fred,  
Casper, Felix, Sheri? John,  
Gentle Ben, and Mr. Ed.     

Astro, Elroy,  
Judy, George, and Jane--  
Eddie Haskell, Wally Cleaver,  
Mom and Dad and Little Beaver.    

Favorite Martian--Flying Nun,  
James Arness--smoking gun, 
Spanky and Alfalfa,  
Larry, Moe, and Curly.

Tests consisted   
of posted patterns.
To see those,  
you had to get up early  
like Jack LaLanne and Buns of Steel, 
Captain Kangaroo.  

Mid-morning classes included  
Monte Hall (quite a deal), 
Bob the Barker (not the builder). 

Allen Ludden passed the words,  
Henson brought a yellow bird. 

After dinner, 
after sunset  
we did our homework   
with Maxwell Smart and 99,  
Gomez and Morticia,  
Uncle Fester, Lerch, 
and Flipper.  

We saw The Rifleman get Branded.
We saw The Fugitive get framed.  
We saw The...
