Best Hitch Up Poems


Premium Member The Red Parasol
Mama tells me I must shield my skin from the scorching sun
This doesn’t stop me and my friend Amy from having some fun
Amy went out exploring and picked wild roses from the bowers
I can still smell the sweet scent of these now wilting pink flowers
We...

Ah, Alum Creek
Ah, Alum Creek
A place I love to go

In the summer for a picnic
Or a jet ski talent show

The kids can run and play
Covered in sand from head to toe

Pack your 45
we've got UV rays to soak

Hitch up them jet skis boys
Dont forget the boat

"Out to...

Late Apple Themes
come kiss the frost 
from off  late apple themes 
the carnival is coming into town
where everything is nothing that it seems
hitch up the pony,
take the surrey down.

 Let's take the long way 'cross the summer bridge,
the one where first you dared to touch my...

Premium Member It's April Fools Today
My Daddy played a trick on me
When I was just a tike
Asleep; I was in dreamland town
A 'riding on my bike

And suddenly! I hear a noise
A clanging sound it seems
It was my Dad with pots in hand
He's banging on the beams!

He's shouting out "Wake up!...

Ideas To Ponder
Hitch up those gitches and ambulate across the way to a brother's abode and visit awhile on the settee. Don't beat the mule for stubbornness he's just a creature of the earth.

Did you burn a yule log to purify your home from grudges!

Intuitive Visions
In my life I have seen infinitesimal good I ponder all the time why is life so unkind. I live my 
life the best way that I could, but someone always despised where I stood. 

The competitiveness of young life is all understood striving for...

Pants On the Ground
Hitch up those britches
Don't show those gitches

Stained with skid marks, no gitches
keep the crabs on your private witches

Bust the slack and expose the crack
Makes me see TP and talk some smack

Cover your assets; keep it in the backpack
Or I will use a thumb tack with...

Borrowed Time
Borrowed time, borrowed time
We’re living on borrowed time
Selling our lives for a dream home
Ripping up the carpets
To lay our lives down
New china
A drape to please the eye
This borrowed time will drag you down

If everything was free
Then would we still care?
If this ornament stood here
Or this...

The Journey
I've been on this journey for over a year , it's hard to imagine.  For a whole year I have held 
the reigns up here on the wagon. It's a long trip down a winding mountain road. My foot is on 
the break, can...

One Last Performance
The applauses shower, they hold all the power
I break out a bow for my finest hour
Bravo, Encore, I exit stage door
My feet, they don't seem to touch the floor
One last glance, a last performance
How many more hours do I keep up this stance
This farce, this...

Muscle Cars
I've sat here and thought about muscle cars
Big beefy motors that roar and tyres smokin' hot
And when you see a movie they are the cars of the stars
When the dream sequences come they are the shot

Their colours are red and black as a matter of...

The Bird Don'T Mean You'Re Number One
So you woke up face down on 
the street
And you don't know the time 
or day of the week
And want me to serve you a 
hair of the dog
To steady your nerves and 
clear out the fog. 

If the last thing you remember 
from the night...

The Ol' Hitchin' Rail
Ol’ Kiley, he’d gone out a ridin’,
Just to clear his weary head—
‘Bout the workin’ of this busy world
And how it done changed the spread.

Seems things they were just changin’ too fast,
And new owners had fired men—
Ol’ Kiley, he figured he’d go next—
Just didn’t know why...

One Valentines day Cupid went on strike because well ... he didn't like 
the dating games on T V showing fake people trying to hitch up and all 
They were gold diggers he said, first they say love me, then take a hike
he didn't think...

Gooseberries and Sharp Creases
GOOSEBERRIES AND SHARP CREASES

The plumpest, juiciest, hairiest gooseberries
My grandfather grew in a circular bed,
Dead centre of the immaculate lawn.
And blackcurrants under netting,
And a Victoria plum tree in the far corner.
He taught me to hitch up my trousers at the knee
When I sat down, to avoid...
