Best Jon Poems

Garfield, a loveable famous, lazy cat,
Who likes to eat and eat, that’s why he’s fat,
Jon his companion, Garfield’s friend or foe dude,
On call twenty four seven, to give Garfield food!
The world knows their love hate relationship
And of course Garfield's innermost thoughts, 
Each an amusing quip!
He...

Your love is
quite sensational –

Your laughter tastes
    like spring-time rain

Your tears smell
    like sweet lemon flower petals

Your voice looks
    so 
    deeply 
    majestic

Your heart sounds
    like...

RARELY 
I WRITE MY NAME IN FULL
IT WOULD APPEAR 
OF ME 
TO BE 
POMPOUS AND PRETENTIOUS 
TO DO SO

FOR THEN WHEN YOUNG
I SAW
MY NAME IN PRINT
RUDOLPH JON RINALDI
HAD THE SYMMETRY AND POWER 
Of A NEW SHINNY AIRPLANE PROPELLER PROP
BUT THAT WAS THEN
WHEN I WAS YOUNG

TV Land won’t be the same
Without Jon Stewart’s face,
For he’s the one man on the air
That no one can replace.

With other newsmen slinking off
Because they’ve lost our trust,
“The Daily Show’s” lead anchor
Leaves all others in the dust.

When even those who’ve winced at jokes
He’s made at...

Found a new friend, his name is Jon
Asked him, 'where the heck is your H?'
He tried to recall and seemed to remember
There was a shortage in 1938

Parents failed to put their order in on time
So Jon was basically out of luck
His H has been missing...

(For a blind man…)

Sighted vision is a mystery.
Whether sitting on the divan,
Busily washing a dishpan,
Or sitting outside getting a tan.
Jon, them thin hands see.

Whether using salt and not cayenne,
I declare you amaze me, man. 
You work and live industriously.
I remain your biggest fan.
Jon, them thin...

Here they come the prancing drums and fife
That call the children from their village life
To run with glee and meet with fear horsehead,
Whooping bway or devil costumed in dread
And there pitchy patchy dancing for his fee
I hear the grater still and feel my skinny knee
Knocking...

Garfield and Jon,                                                                were sitting on the lawn.             ...

Whilst Jon-Allan was out Iraq to warfare ban, 
In 2007 he sustained an injury, rocket attack, 
So that doctors had to amputate his left arm, 
But after rehab he continued the sport’s crack. 

He’d been a weapons technician in the RAF, 
At Basra airbase, and...

Lost? 
Found. 
Never has life's cruel temper dealt its deceiving hand as this day 
Lost-found in a place, living know not. 
Kinship friendship - words, verbiage to describe mortal bonds 
While those of the soul grasp bonds endless and dimensionless 
Youth is but a stage...

Dedicated to Jon Meacham and History

History has made things perfectly clear;
Which we read about and want to hear;
With delight will read with great pride;
Create and cause warm feeling inside.

History went from President to President;
Always seeking God and His consent;
Against an enemy we fought and fought;
Often...

There once was a man called Jon
known for spinnin’ a good yarn
He would pitch words with long tongue
Though he wasn’t very young
He danced as Shake 'em up Jon...

He would find he cutest photo of cats dressed as Napoleon or Cher
Throwing them into contests that were always judged so fair.
I laughed aloud when I saw Queen Sheba or Astronaut Glenn.
Jon always found the cutest cats, many of them not a sliver thin.

We entered...

The chittering birds draw his attention.
He sits at the doorway watching them eat
The only thing separating them is a screen
or I am sure those birds would be dead at his feet.

He watches the sky, he watches the food dish,
He's fascinated by all that he sees
and...

Dear Jon
You think too much
Don't worry about the pain
Words are sometimes exaggerated
And if you take it personal
I know it'll drive you insane

Poetry
It's a beautiful way
To speak thoughts to everyone
What sometimes seems applicable
Can be something quite different
So don't take the blame, hun

I know
I'm much too confusing
But...
