Best Mae Poems

Come now, Spring! You’re such a fickle young thing!
On the wings of newborn feathers, your wiles
up and downturn winds to sudden cold flings 
tripping warming skins to tremble a while…

Next come your silken color-filled fancies!
Eyes beckoned, step out to be near such charms…
Yens still, as...

Miss Mae may not have been,
 a famous writer with ink nor pen.
But enjoyed to crochet and paint,
 and mastered the art of motherhood
 and that of quiet saint.

She reared eight children with humble means
 and loving gentle touch.
Each child she taught the golden rule,

Linnie Mae Ethel you were christened.
I never knew you by that name.
No one ever called you Linnie.
Now that really is a shame.
I surmise you didn't like it,
Ethel is the name you used.

Mother is the name I called you,
And all others I refused. 
Even Daddy called...

You fill my life with joy and love, My sweet, Your my love
Precious baby, With skin so soft, You were given to me, By the...

My husband fell in love with the beautiful Mae West.
I knew it was because of her oversized breast.
"Mae is beautiful," I retorted,  "but small chested girls also like to hug."
"You and Mae," he laughed, "is like comparing a Cadillac to a Volkswagen bug."...

Tried abstaining but my morals shifted
I observed that my curves were God-gifted
Hey, it ain't that complex
It all boils down to sex
I used to be Snow White but I drifted

There was once an old witch named Mae
    Who got her spells wrong, every single day

My wife Judith opened my eyes
into the world of adoption for pets
with special needs.

   It takes a special person to give
an animal a second chance at life
by adopting a special needs dog,
or cat.
   These are the animals nobody
wants. They sometimes need

Party animal heart in her ample chest
The wily lady a player without reservation

Martha Mae

Pretty and gay

Loved to sew

Stacked onesies in a row

But it came not to pass, you see

For he soon discovered her strange addiction

To keep from being bored

She began to hoard

Children, permanent babysitting, or abduction

He couldn’t give her a child of their own

of warm butterscotch days and mulberry sundown,
And in the green trees, lingers a murder of crows,
Lying in wait for raven night, when luster abounds!

She is lost in the...

Always putting on a smile to brighten up someone’s day
Never taking things for granted, always with a grain assault
Neither thinking of yourself, taking others blame for fault
Almost everyone you meet notice’s that you’re quite a pick
Hands over,...
