Best Jello Poems
It wiggles and jiggles
and feels fun to the touch,
a cinch to make;
something everyone loves.
There are a million flavours,
many are fat free,
jello has been around
for many centuries.
The colours are as vibrant
as a peacock's quills
just pick your favourite;
add water, and let chill.
For something so simple
to bring such pleasure,
it is one of life's mysteries,
that everyone treasures.
So lets pause for a moment
and give thanks to jello;
for who doesn't smile,
at the options of jello.
She is the eclectic cat lady
Pretty in pink wearing a daisy
You be the judge I think she's crazy
Bobby sock chic her scarf's paisley
One big duffle with many cats inside
she will show them off with the utmost pride
In the bag you can hear them collide
Still they never stray far from her side
When the bag opens it's quite a scene
To my great surprise she has thirteen
Her favorite one his name is Dean
the smallest cat she calls Jelly Bean
As for me I am more of a dog guy
If you smelled her cats you would know why
When the cats see my dogs they sure jump high
Boy oh boy does the fur ever fly
I am the friendly dog loving fellow
My dogs love the sound of my Cello
They sing along while dressed in Yellow
Cat lady smiles while feeding us jello.

My first poem of the new year.
Sisters J E L L O cake madness
Illuminates smiles
Baked golden brown then cooled
Portholes jello jammed
Marshmellow skirting
Lip smacking
Good
There once was this fellow quite mellow
When he sat on a couch he jiggled like jello
Loved to indulge
Caused a big bulge
Round the middle of this real mellow fellow

Take my name
deface it
make it taboo
break every letter in half
my last name too.
grab my middle name
laugh at it
throw it down stream!
make the alphabet forget
how it arranged to spell me.
my name is not me!
it does not explain my person
it labels me for labeling
and defines me by the surface.
a more simple version
would be
knowing each other by emotions.
but we left our shores
and started wars
lost compassion in the ocean.
J-Jiggly
E-efficient
L-likeable
L-luscious
O- often eaten
I can’t believe today that I broke my wrist!
And I can’t push the button for the cream that’s whipped
How am I to eat an ice cream sundae?
Without that white topping that brings it thunder
And what am I to do when I want some jello?
Cause on top of that dessert whip cream is stellar
Oh woe is me now that I broke my wrist!
I can’t get the cap off since it needs a twist
Maybe I can borrow you for this?
Then together we can dream of ice cream bliss
Jello is a mellow way of filling up a tub
A smashing way of chilling up an ordinary scrub
The jello is a fellow’s way of doing something new
A rock and roll adventure in a musical revue
I chose to pose in jello when I thought that it was keen
To render my devotion to the swinging singles scene
I played around and partied in my polyester clothes
But gentlemen in jello cannot kneel to propose
I trembled in my jello with a universal wish
For peace and understanding in a human petri dish
I thought about the acrobats who never made the flip
Of bouncing on my jello with a bowl of dairy whip
The quality of jello with a cello for a choice
Will make a happy fellow when you bellow with your voice
The jello is a fellow’s way of making something stick
A merry new adventure with a momentary flick
I love to squish my jello with a hello every day
Nothing could be mellow in a more peculiar way
Remember, kindly fellow, when your jello mix is blue
That ladies love to bellow in a jello fix for two.

Hiya, howdy, hey, and hello.
Juggle jams and jiggle jello.
Jumping joyfully, and jolly,
try it in a tram or trolley.
Happy, hopping, silly stomping,
rollicking and rowdy romping,
bouncing, bubbly butterscotch,
hilarious, howling, hot hopscotch.
Lofty leaping, crazy creeping,
slipping, sliding, squawking, squeaking,
Care for cookies, candies, or cakes?
Such silly sounds, for heaven's sakes.
A man swallowed Jello shots
Then fell on some cooking pots
He was burnt and scolded
He fell against the wall
Looked like he was doing some squats
So good at going through the motions
Lose my wits when im with you
You flush my cheeks
and grab my hand
Foggy eyes I fall for you
Twisted ankles you got me stationed
Here I'll stand
Just hold my hand
Jello heart
Salt and tangles
You got me here, my love in chambers
Locked up at ease just as you please
There once was this fellow quite mellow
When he sat on a chair he jiggled like jello
Loved to indulge
Caused a very big bulge
Round the middle of this real mellow fellow
I have a passion for cherry Jello
Can't ever get enough
With large amounts of Reddi Wip
Oh what glorious stuff
When I dream it's not about girlies
With flowing flaxen hair
Well okay maybe once in a while
If they have a nice derriere
You surely are starting to realize
My taste has changed quite a bit
So now it's satisfying my jelly belly
With a passionate cherry fix
For a bowl of that yummy Royal Treat
To the ends of the earth I'd go
Seeking that wiggily jiggily delight
That glorious treat of old

JELLO
I hate jello because it is a food
once in your mouth it wiggles moves
reminds me of what worms must feel like to eat
grosses me out for the life of me
Who had such a fantasy
to make some squishy protein
From animal parts most disgusting
Food served in hospitals observably
Jellied cranberries a similar food
Would rather have cranberry juice
And souse meat looks like it is raw
It is jellied for bellies after all
Now if jello had a super power
like curing disease or growing flower
I still could not keep it down
Jello is gross even with fruit I’ve found.
White puffs of goodness.
Whip cream in love with jello.
Cold, jiggling flavor,
Topped with foaming nothingness,
Yielding to gel's surrender.
