Best Goofing Off Poems


A Lazy Sunday
A lazy Sunday afternoon
For reading and reflecting,
For crossword puzzles, Words with Friends
And on-the-phone connecting.

The dreary weather makes me feel
No guilt for staying put.
I did my morning walk so there’s
No goofing off afoot.

Well, maybe just a little bit
For closets should be tackled,
But it’s real nice from...

Premium Member Things I Despise
Arrogance fostered by entitlement
Bigotry in all its forms
Conceit beyond all reasonable norms
Demanding attitude of deferment.
Entitlement, did I mention this?
Forgetting an appointment, indeed
Goofing off on an hourly-wage job
Hearing a disapproving sarcastic hiss.
Intelligence wasted in a trivial pursuit
Junk mail! Junk mail! Junk mail!
Keeping a secret to thwart...

Wrath of President Obama
We have come to a cross roads in this country,
where some folks truly believe
they don't have to listen to a Zebra,
Minorities get no respect in America!
Citizens are sinking to an all time low,
because they have grown weary of
the Political Show,
Republicans and Democrats have both
left messes,
Yet,...

Care Free Days
9:14 pm 22 feb 2014


Eating dinner and watching children play
Takes me back to a care free day

When I was young and life was still new
Goofing off with a buddy or two

Talking about girls 
and exploring the world

Not worried or wondering what others thought
taking the stage...

Mama bear pins up clothes on the line.
April day is wonderful, breeze is so fine.
Grandma is in the kitchen, tasting vinegar wine.
Children and husband are waiting to dine.

Little brother is doing a chicken dance goofing off.
Siblings are laughing, observant deer gives a cough.
Daddy brings a...

How Did I Get This Way
Stars bright
Fireworks flying
Being close
Feelin safe
How I get this way?....

Giggls an laughter
Calm talks
Silliness an goofing off
How did I get this way?

......

The moment you walked through the door
The moment I saw your smile
The moment I heard your voice...
Your name hasn't left my mind....

Premium Member Self Centered Tranquility
Inside of our embryonic bubble, 
immune from outsiders trouble 
Blissfully detached, so unaware 
without any single, worldly care
Permanent ecstatic, numb state 
contented, equilibrious, sedate 

Seemingly impossible, extreme 
I can barely, realize in a dream 
Perhaps zoned out, on cocaine 
goofing off, to Nirvana’s Cobain 
Serotonin’s,...

Surgery
The night before the next surgery,
Playing games in the hotel room.
Laughs and giggles all around.
Tomorrow forgotten for now.
Getting your mind off of things,
You are sitting there laughing,
Carrying on. Tomorrow will be different
No goofing off. No laughter.
Serious tomorrow.
Rushing about in the morning
Getting you to the hospital,
Getting...

Premium Member Mall Walking
Started walking the mall again, a little slow to start
A winter goofing off sure takes it's toll on my parts
Look like an old man
Hey wait... I am
Sure can creep up on this mangy old bard...

Yesterday's Memory
Walking barefoot
   in the sand,
Holding tightly
   to your hand.
While you're
   looking up at me,
What a memory
   this will be.
Just a mother
   and her son,
Goofing off
   and having fun.
In a moment
   all...
