Best Jolly Poems

Rosy red, his cheeks said
As good cheer he spread
Laughter, like a merry kiss
Touched hearts with bliss

Fish in every variety caught
Delicious nutrition he brought
So that every mouth watered
For the delicacies he slaughtered

Rosy red, his cheeks burned
With joy we never learned
His smile, catching as a cold
Reminded his...

Johnny Pete and Jolly Pete
Their marriage arranged in heaven,
Come sit here on the catbird seat.
Their marriage is number seven.

Johnny Pete never looked so good.
Jolly was a gorgeous summer bride.
Ceremony was everything it could be.
Witnesses all on Jolly’s side.

Johnny dragged in a street guy
To stand up...

Clicked on the news cause I wanted to say
what kind of stuff is happening today
Boehner's stepping down 
The Pope has left town  
And Santa is soon in his sleigh...

Sad sad goodbyes
Tears in the rain;
TV drama

~~~~~~~~~


Old man writes
Amusing musings;
Laughs madly aloud

~~~~~~~~~


Memory recites
Changes lyrics;
Good old daze

~~~~~~~~~


Morning mist
Cold chilly wind;
Sun on vacation

~~~~~~~~~


Limping man
Walks his dog;
Sight for sore eyes

~~~~~~~~~


Old heritage tree
Ancient times linger;
Living relic

~~~~~~~~


News highlight
Men killing men;
Wars never end

~~~~~~~~~


A cruel race we are
Style sweet smiles;
Turn around and...

Another year is nearly finished with,

And carol singers knock, or ring my bell; 

I sit in darkness, telly turned down low -

I’ll keep my quid (my cat could sing as well).

 

It’s cold outside and heating costs a mint,

But people hope for even colder snow;

I...

Jolly Holly wanted nothing more than to fish
In her entire life, she had made only one wish
All I need is a boat
One that will stay afloat
She had never been described as a sexy dish

Holly had...

There is a gingerbread man,
a farmer named Ginggy,
who lives in Candyland
on Jolly Rancher Pass.
He loves his candy farm-
He has Hershey cows,
M&M grass,
chocolate chip seeds,
and his house is made of graham crackers.
He has a Laffy Taffy dog
and a lovely gingerbread wife
and two lovely gingerbread children.
His wife's...

Once a
jolly Drongo sat on
the riverbank,
sucking Go-anna eggs
till it brought
insanity,
oh he tried a bit of
thinking,
but his mind was
just a blank,
Fourex beer he'd be
a drinking,
But the Kiwis' are
owning that
so he chewed on some
burnt Damper,
and drank some Billy
tea,
and thought about
the master,
and his obscenity,

bloody torys on a
working class
attack,

 Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Candy Canes and Christmas Cheer
With a fuss, children line up, and wait to get near
To look deep into Jolly Old St. Nicholas eyes
Quietly, and from the depths of their hearts
They sit on his lap and whisper in his ear
Their...

Christmas time is really quite near
Just saw a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
With a jolly old gent
As he made his ascent
It's that magical time that we all hold so dear

Doesn't Christmastime mean
presents, carols and cheers?
But for one it won't
be a jolly Holiday
diagnosed with breast cancer....

Eighty years old and still going strong
Have a positive approach so what could go wrong
It's done me well
I've answered the bell
Each morning like a jolly old leprechaun...
