Best Harvey Poems

Harvey Denning

1909 – 1923


“I saw the universe a thousand times.”
I saw the face of God
Spread out across the sky
Like a million cities on fire.
Like Troy cut into little pieces
By the slashing sword of Achilles.
Cut to shreds and bleeding.
There on the ramparts
There inside the fissures and...

Harvey the Hippo

Harvey is a huge hippopotamus
Who bathes in a bay that is bottomless
HIs mouth is as large as a riverboat barge
And he weighs ten times more than a lot of us

Big Harvey isn’t nasty or troublesome
Nor like other guys who are double dumb
He just...

How about Carol wears the curtain rods?
That would be hysterical.
No one else got it.
But I am Harvey Korman and I have some say.

Most popular episode in history.
Even Vicky is not as popular unless she is mama.
Vicky as Carol's mama is hilarious.
This show gets better every...

My name is Harvey Honeybee, 
I like to buzz around,
I'm looking for some flowers,
But they're nowhere to be found!

I've been looking for days,
And lots of lonely nights,
And it surely seems like,
Something has happened to my sights!

Where are all my buzzy friends,
I wonder where they could...

On August 29, it rained 
Never knew that it would change 
Everything that they ever had is gone 
Tell me how do they move on
A hurricane came through and tore
 the state that they adored
So this to you is my tribute
I want to send my...

Fire
Flames – destroying everything –
Flames – I felt their heat –
The whirling world – it cannot stand—
In fevered circuit melts.

Those flames traverse
Throughout my bones,
Rage, hot, across my nerves,
Consuming all the stars I see
In heaven’s stretched-out canopy.

Fire – burning in my soul –
Fire – I felt...

HARVEY WALL-BANGERS


Having a good time drinking Harvey Wall-bangers
Always watching out on how much I drink
Reaching into an unknown realm of alcohol
Very tempting this drink can be to one and all
Enlivening me to unknown territory can be tempting
Yolanda my friend can sure be a bad influence

Whispering...

The Hurricane was Harvey
By Franklin Price
8/31/2017

The hurricane was Harvey, what an unassuming name
Left the western Yucatan. across the Gulf he came
Building up his power to a category four
Slammed into the Texas coast with wind, and rain, and more
Coming into Rockport with winds one thirty some
Evacuate...

Captain Harvey the King of School

Captain Harvey still goes to school
He doesn’t like it, but he is no fool
He goes each and every day
Because he knows he will learn that way.

What the teachers don’t seem to know
That Captain Harvey needn’t go
Because Captain Harvey is the...

I thought I saw a big Easter bunny
when it hopped it looked really funny,
so I put my beer glass down
and then began my big frown...
it's my wife at the bar wanting money!...

This long time doodling Yankee 
(who calls Southeastern Montgomery, Pennsylvania LV
plus III four seasons visited 
   upon swath of topography to see
and hear flora and fauna over run 
   via industrialization he doth experience pity
sympathy, humanity deafening cacophony undermining

The world of Harvey Weinstein
Has spun out from his control
His brother went and fired him
Amidst the hyperbole

But Donald Trump can save him
For neither know remorse
And groping seems so natural
You know they'll stay the course

Their victims band together
Sharing everlasting shame
If no one is responsible
Then God must...

Hurricane Harvey arrived in the night,
pushing tidal waters onto the shore.
And wailing in the dark, absent of light,
His deadly winds surround His inner core.

Sucking up gulf waters, He spews out rain,
the torrential downpours flooding the ground.
And in His wake, destruction, death, and pain
abound; as the...

A stranger turned into a friend,
You brighten my mornings no end.
It’s great to say hi
To a really nice guy
On whose greeting I’ve come to depend.

This pandemic has seemed to erase
Interactions we used to embrace
But at least we can chat
And I’m grateful for that,
Though one day,...
