Best Lingo Poems

There once was a man named Keith with perfect lingo
‘Till an unassuming stranger changed his name to Dingo
It blew my mind
It’s so unkind
To fabricate, that he’s an ape, with me she scores no bingo!

I followed the poet thought I was on her team  ...

Way Back When Lingo!  (Slang from the 1970's) 

The '70's were way back when,
Once we were young,
the 70's had just begun...
There were hits that were around,
when we were all closer to the ground...

I was a dorky classroom teacher,
Like being a gross lay preacher,
For all...

'Tis well-known that military blokes speak a lingo of their own,
But it has served them well over the years, it has been shown!
To a General or a Private, such jargon is totally sensible,
But to ordinary citizens, 'tis utterly incomprehensible!

"Yard birds" know all about "policing the...

TWISTED LINGI
Long time ago; the old day Africa
When black was the general color
A time when nobody was bilingual
Back when tradition was very pure...
We didn't have a Twisted Lingo

Then Alexander the great surfaced
Newton,Galileo and others made discoveries
The impact became intense,migration began
Survival for the fittest,mutation,intermarriage...colonization
Giving birth to...

In basketball, there is a hoop
Through which an orange ball
When arcing, in a graceful loop,
May very likely fall.

A candidate, in quite a gaffe,
Mistakenly said “ring”
Instead of “hoop;” on his behalf,
Attention it did bring.

But notoriety is not
Considered as a plus
And lack of sporting lingo’s what
Makes him...

An Englishman, an Irishman, a Welshman and a Scot
Met up in a pub and I put them on the spot
I’m a language student, I’m in my final year
I thought I’d come to Britain and hone my syntax here
I told them I’d be very pleased to...

When young I loved the Motown sound
And the new lingo with it I found
When I said, "Hey man, "
"I'm a Motown fan"
My cousin said, "A beatnik's in town!"...

We meet and greet
On the main street


We seize lingo
Play with bingo


Words we utter
Mind and matter


Seize words to stray
On umpteen ways


This and that way
Learn how to play


Sense thought profound
On common grounds


Leapfrog hot pyres
Get burnt by fire


Still we go on
Verge once upon


Seek to live well
On acts that...

ah yes the rabid lingo,
of our youth here with the Dingo,
and words we poked with laughter n desire,
just a bit of chook chasing,
 set our hearts a little racing, 
when the Bodgie got his Widgie,
and sparks brought on the fire,
nah me voice aint getting higher,

The equivalent of a cosmic flat tire, the star collector overheated again.
Should've topped off the subzero heat transmogger back at Stuckey's.

Our tribute to the eighteen year old boys who were sent to Viet Nam
Was to be chill, chillin, and chillax’in as a tribute to those soon gone.
We were groov’n, and groovy, beatnik style, but we called ourselves hippie. 
We were funky, groovy, and pretty nifty,...
