Best Howdy Poems

Sitting in the “Peanut Gallery”  in the centre of Doodyville
Clutching my Clarabell Clown Marionette , such a Thrill
No tangled strings, on my gift from Mom  and Dad Vacing
Buffalo Bob says ”Please put on a show” my Heart Racing
Tight in his right hand my...

Living life in a trance, be
Like mice in a panty
Living high but you can't see
Cause you fright when the light's seen...

"Puppets like me, we never age,
Nor do I think I'm some sort of sage.

However, I've noticed troubles over the years,
I'd like to talk about them and some of my peers.

Since I'm over 70 years old now ya know,
For lotsa years I've missed the old show.

Cowboy Howdy the Clown still goes
To town with ten little shoes on his toes
Purple hair and a square blue nose
Ten grey flowers for Cimarron Rose
An itty bitty teeny weeny cowboy hat 
Vaquero chaps and a little dogies tat
A plug of chaw and a lariat
Two six-shooters...

Nothing warms the cockles of the heart like a cheery, "Hello!"
'Twill put a spring in your step and set your face aglow!
'Tis nice to hear a southern lass say, "Hi, shuga, how y'all!"
Or be greeted with a lusty, "Howdy" by a Texan's drawl!

A sunny greeting...

Does God let you make mistakes? 
You bet cha
But you know what?
You are going to learn from it
And that would make you a better person

And doing you will make mistakes
It comes with the territory
He is a gentle God
He knows we...

I’m sitting by the river.
It’s a warm and sunny day.
It’s lovely to be out here
Just relaxing in this way.

My jacket is unzipped,
My brand-new book is on my lap,
When suddenly a dog squats down
And takes a mushy crap.

The owner was right next to him;
The dog was...

Howdy, Partner,
Y'all seem cool!!
Hey, Bar-Keep...
Where is my stool?

I'm here to drink,
The joys of life,
I finally left,
My cheatin' wife

A round for the house!!
Another after that!!
This is where,
I'll hang my hat!!

The be-itch is gone,
She done run away!
And for me,
It's Liberation Day!

Who left who,
I'm not too sure,
All I...

I was only five years old 
when I was first introduced 
to Howdy Doody, a wooden 
puppet with a continuous 
smile who was manipulated 
by an invisible puppeteer who 
the peanut gallery of children, 
parents and television audience 
could never see.

Howdy Doody would seem real...

Nice to meet you, really! It’s pleasant, 
you’re here after all. Well, hi, how are you?
I’m good now you’re here, I hope you’re
glad of my greet. 
Really, I’m exuberant, excited and glad you’ve come.
Please stay, it’d be awful if this were my last 
hello to...

In a funky store that sells antiques,
I made the coolest find –
A bright red Howdy Doody watch,
The kind you have to wind.

The Howdy Doody Show was on
When I was just a kid
And watching it in black and white
Was what we children did.

Each week a group...

It’s Howdy Doody Time!
It’s Howdy Doody Time!
If you know this rhyme so nifty,
Your childhood was probably in a fifty.

Remember the advertisers promoting color TV?
This was when we all had black and white, you and me.
Howdy had forty-eight freckles representing each state of the USA.
Watching him...
