Best Lizzie Poems

(Limerick)

When Lizzie (Borden) saw what she's done
Thought to herself that was so much fun
So she whack them again
And again and again
Then laughed aloud at what she's done!

LIZZIE BORDEN

Poor miss Lizzie, a murderess acquitted, 
By a judgment’s ruling of her peers,
Yet command by histories theatrics.
Astound damsel, to the wealth’s elite,
A matron’s old maid, imprisoned by 
An unjust fate.
By the falling axes sharpened blade,
Two lives ended, ensuing the public’s
Scandal and out rage.
Does not...

Who was Lizzie Van Zyl?
A small girl stands on Woodcock Bridge
Pointing at her reflection in the water.
The glint from the sun, and a cold wind,
Distorts a distant memory of gold, and places long forgotten.

For the bridge and the girl are forever linked
The bricks paid for...

LIZZIE was an incompetent witch,
Who was helping friend HAL from a ditch.
Her magic she tried,
Poor HAL was french-fried,
Left wearing not one single stitch.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

By Elton Camp

Family love often will subside
When there’s property to divide
Old Andy Borden’s second wife
Came to be a cause of much strife

He allowed his two daughters no say
When he began to give money away
To his second wife’s Abby’s own kin
With them,...

Lizzie King had a heart of gold / 
A hooker by trade or so we're told / 
She’d show up when the guys got paid / 
With a surrey of girls - the guys got laid / 
She even had brass tokens made / 
"Good...

At the hour of one
The housework is done
It is time to leave the nest
A sand coloured skin
She wears to blend in
Lizzie Lizard soon is dressed


At the hour of two
When dinner is due
It is time to find a treat
Any fruits that fall
She savours them all
Lizzie Lizard...

There once was a young fellow named Lizzie
The tough guys mockingly called him a sissy
So he carried a bat
And that ended that
No more teasing, he dated a sweet campus missy

FOR LIZZIE
I do not live by drawing breath
By drink or beat of heart
I live by love my purpose to
My child all joy impart.

My drug, her unexpected smile
What e'er the reason be
I could for days float on a high
And on her laugh OD.

As she has grown...

Lizzie Antoinette 

I knew a princess
who ruled her kingdom
From the tip of her nose
she looked down.

Her father was relegated 
to celibacy 
Because she considered them
competition....

Each and every day, Lizzie opens up a can,
Of tasty Salmon cat food for her beloved tabby Dan,
She's lived alone since Harry died, a victim of world war two,
Neighbours live at either side, but she's no idea who,

She remembers in the olden days, when people...

She lays there dying in here mother's arms. Only an hour old.
So innocent. So pure. 
Doesn't know how cruel the world can be.
She will be speared this feat.
Her mother will forever grieve.
Never forgetting that fateful day.
Wishing it had happened differently.
Then again glad it happened the...

               Lockdown Lizzie
 ~They are going to lock that woman up~


She's starting to give each wall in her house a name.
After all, she talks to them, so it's really not a shame!

Lester the lizard, was a lusty old cuss,
he laid on the lawn and licked his legs all day.
Then one day Lizzie the lizard, with her long
lanky legs, came to play.
Lester said, "Lizzie, I think I'm in love,
you are the lady lizard for me."
They laughed, licked,...

"Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one."

Whoever wrote this jump-rope song
About Lizzie Borden got it wrong.
Though she did give her stepmom ax whacks aplenty,
By the coroner's count there were no more than...
