Best Goody Poems

A few things I resolve to do or dare
Lessen my gallons of soda intake;
The first ‘meal’ for breakfast, not the cornflakes…
Juice therapy would be New Year’s affair.

Yes, I’ll curb my late, night-owl affliction
And suppress reading books, just once a week
To calm my impulse..a healthy technique
Refraining...

Mary, did you get the memo about the meeting?
What meeting?
Today’s.
When is it?
Now.

No, I didn’t get it.
Come on.
I don’t think so.
I hate meetings.

Okay. But while I am here, I have to ask.
Do you want to go on a field trip with the kindergarteners?
No.
Teacher looks surprised.
Why?
Kindergarten is...

we are two little goody two shoes 
eating our yummy good dog chews
we sit and stand , when asked by Laura Loo
you should have a doggie to pat when your blue
to snuggle and huggle close to you, too.

goody-goody
was she
must say
a bit
too much 
for me

goody shoes
are two
in one
she stuffs
those don'ts
been done

the other 
kept for
her dos
those rights
best left
outta sight

we all
won't see
these things
well done
saved for
foolish fun

one goes
near here
nor there
searching so
for goodys
who care

goody, goody
what's in the bag?
remains of your life i now have
goody goody
it was pointless
to offer your life to work and focus
goody goody
your skin will melt
the last number on the clock stops at twelve
 
my history was a part of me
they all seemed to under-think
my earliest...

goody goody
gum drop
more than sweets
may mean
a lot

ate a gum drop
just popped it in
rolled around
let it spin

left and right 
hugged my cheeks
swashed about
then repeats

savor the juice
sugary delight
tickles tongue
this tiny bite

stuck to teeth
once it's in
while i smiled
big green grin

might not be
a better thing
than this
except a warm
sloshy kiss

Goody Goody Gum drops,
It was an expression of delight
When children saw this treat
Their eyes lit up like stars at night
The inventor Murray Taylor
Concocted this ice cream treat
That was bubble gum flavoured ice cream
Filled with gum drops. What a treat.
Over the years, Goody Gumdrops lost its...

Tasting on goody almondy
escape into broody
Felt moody
I'm nobody
life a parody
cared? nobody.
laughed? everybody.
I don't want tragedy
neither comedy
no people of shady,
no clings of needy,
but a buddy
who is not noddy,
a life almost steady
 like somebody....

four years old and she was already looking for a Higher Power

her parents were bookworms and she piled one onto another

Hemingway and Nietzsche firmly stacked with Sartre and Poe

the latter she thought was misspelt because of Winnie the bear

a tower of language and words reaching...

You've done all you can now Jade
Please take time to rest
Let the angels take flight

Let your weary head rest in comfort
Now everything is in place
Let the angels continue your fight

Let your weary head be in comfort
Let the pain 
Begin to subside

You have left no one...

I once had a neighbor called miss goody two shoes,
Each time I was cornered she sang me the blues.
Because she hadn’t improved,
I just picked up and moved,
after fifteen years I thought I’d paid my dues.
