Best Kidding Poems

My kid gets smarter every day
She queries in a thoughtful way:
"Are two M.D.'s a paradox?
Are kosher fish in spring 'May lox'?"
"Go ask your Mom". She says, "I did!
She said to ask another kid"....

Going to take myself seriously today, I promise myself.
But not yet. Right now, I am in playing mode.
Heading toward my art studio. Painting now.
I will take myself seriously later, I think.
But them I remember that we do not like being serious.
We are not happy when...

Poodle...          A puff on the left
                      A puff on the right

The depths of my soul are too shallow.
The fruits of my labor grew fallow.
A sing songy rhyme in three quarter time.
Is all that this poem has to show.

But what can a free thinking fellow. 
Do when his mind has turned to jello.
As he sits and...

(NP)   SHE WAS KIDDING


Its not offensive odors which bother me
That’s the province of my loving and ever-tolerant wife:  she
Whose nose can detect a shoeless sock 
Which has been worn for even a half hour on the clock,
Or me cooking sausages even before...

Hey, mister Rent-a-cop,
did you see what she just did?
Oh, sleeping on the job again
are we now
Family ties is always good to have I see,
so I suggest you better go
lay the store law down
Lifting from the shop
is an everyday crime
Put the candy bar away,
and chase after...

I was not kidding when I told you that I loved you for so long
I was not kidding when I told you that I cared for you
So annoying – love songs stick to my brain like glue on paper
So annoying – hate songs lick at...

it's illegal now to be a kid
no matter what, once, was did
no longer allowed, they now forbid
put a sock in it, slam down the lid

there was a time, that many know
when it wasn't so
and kids romped wildly, to and fro
from yard to wood to overflow

across...

If I could do most anything
A week to have for my very own?!
I'd put away the mop and broom!
The paper work would have to wait!
No rush to work, ....so what if late?
I'd put my chores upon the shelf
I'd sleep in late, perhaps till noon
I'd take...

When the stars set,
Somewhere far away
behind the high mountain,
the Sun engulfed
the coolness of the night,
across the river and the wild terrain.

the yellow brightness,
woke the world up,
to wage the fights again
the dew drops that shone
on leafy,  green grass,
washed the dirty stain.

the kids of  all...

As I reminisce
through childhood eyes
I see vivid images
of my family home
where bumbles would bounce
 
Our garden seemed to stretch for miles...
perhaps that’s why
I made an odd birthday request
for a nanny goat as a pet !
Taking her home in dad’s VW Beetle car
caused quite a stir...

(My thoughts about doing the project without getting the credit)


Without grandiosely postulating
I will offer my opinion.
I don't know whom you're quoting,
I presume he's not a minion.

For he's not the one, I'm thinking
who is doing all the work
just for the love of working
while the credit seeker...

What Gets My Goat - By Noah Kidding

Though I shy away from drink,
an unexpected case
of DT's finds this ace
of spades (also known as the spadille)
bleating heart liberal,

airing how disgrace
full the Tommyknocker of zee prez
doth aspire with
Desperation toward efface
sing outspoken, knowledgeable,

intelligent, et cetera grace
full Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,...

Convince ourselves that all we say is true
No better combo than I and you
Falsely hold all those dreams up high
as we look each other in the eye
We should just swallow pride
and call out our every lie
But where would be the fun in that?
All of this...

We can’t go out so what to do?
How do we spend our time?
Imagination, racing thoughts
My brain on overtime.

There’s gardening, painting, DIY
Non urgent jobs to do,
They’re boring and predictable,
I need stimulus, tried and true.

That lazy dog could do a bit,
He snores his life away
Maybe I could...
