Best Having A Field Day Poems

By Elton Camp

Conspiracy theorists are having a field day
“NASA is hiding the truth,” they loudly say

They see a rock shaped like a bone
“Life was here, but now it’s gone!”

When an odd-shaped rock they see
“It looks exactly like a lizard to me!”

“That’s a human skull I...

Oh give me a home where there are no drones,
where the Democrats and Republicans play,
where seldom is heard a debate that isn't too absurd,
while they try to keep Wikileaks and e-mails at bay,

where the Democrats and Republicans are basically clay,
where seldom...

Having a field day:
        My joy immense
        At your expense

Immune to crocodile tears:
        The old judge
        Will...

To be the first woman born of dirt and 
Earth and no her name was not Eve... 
She was willful, vain and demanded 
Equality but Adam refused her dark 
Hearted soul and asked God to banish 
Her from...

At first, it wasn't my father's Oldsmobile.
Then, there came a longing for a new identity
with an invasion of one morphing after another.
Next thing I knew, there was 'no' Oldsmobile.
It seems that so many things started to go AWAY and      ...

Soul consume with rage my life fading away.
heart aching with pain so the law I can never obey.
That's right me and the Devil is on the same page.
Yes. I am a real life sage I manifest words from my rib cage.
Needed God help but yet...

Nutter Butter. Almond Joy, Mounds Bars, and Cherry Mash.
Those candy manufacturers know how to name to get their cash.
We contenders scoff; we snicker and sneer.
The toymaker crazy idea brigade has just arrived here.

Someone throws out, Betsy Wetsy, Tiny Tears,  Shrinky Dinks!
The contest is on,...

Not realizing what he had invented,
because he was "put away,"
Evil's friend Houdini,
was having a field day,
the catapult machine
was not only used as a weapon of war,
but also for people

especially wanting to visit
their folks on the holidays,
thats when catapulting people
became the fashion...

Forrest forever worked full-time in the forest,
forgetting his fast food which was not so fabulous,
foraging for forest food not his forte,
finally fishing till the fish fought and got away,
Forrest was not exactly having a field day,
frantic and fuming and feeling foolish,
he foraged for food in...

Trembling hands and ink made of tears and blood
Teary ?? eyes and bloody heels like a defeated soldier
Lost it all in battle field but just his life

Oh, No, Earth Is Doomed

By Elton Camp

The ignorant alarmists are having a field day
A 150 foot-wide asteroid will hit us they say
Next February, this big rock will come near
But scientist assure us there’s naught to fear

They have equipment & knowledge to know
And are certain that...

The days are lengthening, yet no snow
birds starting to nest, too soon I fear
winter still has yet to show her powers
buds forming on fruit trees need no frost
its icy fingers would kill them completely

All is too advanced, the bugs having a field day
gardener's will curse...

Obviously out of his depth, unsure of what to do,
Pursuing allegations that he knows to be untrue,

Prompted by minions working behind the scene,                
Robotic leader signals with the stroke of...

Kabul Has Fallen

Kabul has fallen
The news screams 
Kabul has fallen
In less than two weeks

The intel officers
Got it so wrong
Everyone said
That Kabul would not fall
That the center would hold

Yet Kabul fell
Faster than anyone thought 
It would

The right-wing media
Are having a field day
Screaming
Who lost Afghanistan

As if it...
