Best Malone Poems

RoseAnn Malone resolved to lose weight.
She made a list of foods to forsake.
She did well 'till week four
eating more than before.
Airlines had to bill her at the freight rate....

World of tears - 
We live in a sad sad world. 
Full of sad little boys 
And sad little girls 
And despite the shared sadness of our loved ones and our peers 
No one makes a frown 
no one shows their tears 
Because In a...

from island corner, big Antrim lad
  to Belfast city, a tiny pad
  shattered windows, tilted clocks
  Goliath had lost his socks
  gargantuan giant going mad

  Armagh apple girl, any topic
  she star-gazed past the misanthropic
  vantage point, two...

My favorite time of the day is when I'm ballin'
I am the best and nobody can stop me
When i cross; the defenders are fallin'
Everyone who watches gets to see
And hear the sound of the swish
The spectators start to go crazy
I get them more hyped when...

I was born on Altair, a star in the constellation of Aquila
and the twelfth brightest star in your night sky.
After my family and I decided to move here to Earth,
we quickly learned to blend in, so we could no longer fly.

Our spacecraft is buried and...

Not like a figwort but not an aster, either. Could he be a buttercup
with sepals, no petals, but sepals like petals? Alan is a bluebeech,
an ash if his books sell. Quick shake hands. Zach's bald ok, a
magnolia, cone-like fruits a bridge to his Neanderthal father.
When...

Irelands capital Dublin, it's a beautiful city
Famous for its Guinness and Jameson's whiskey
The Temple bar area for music and the 'craic'
Many say on departing "one day I'll be back".

Molly Malone can be seen, with her wheelbarrow
In busy Grafton street that's so bustling and narrow
The silvery...

Little Jenny was always found to be very prim and proper/
Outside reading her cook book by Betty Crocker/
Lazy Mary Sat on the lazy suzanne,
Butch Malone was their next of kin kissing cousin,
Along with Mary this made up the famed dirty dozen !
That sand box experiment...

The blackboard waited stark and bare
As yet, there was no teacher there 
A striding vision, took the chalk
You know… I recognised that walk

Miss Malone’s Dulcet tones
Sent a shudder through my bones
Her flowing hair with blonde highlights
Her mini skirt and fishnet tights
The way she stood with...

I got lost in a book 
somewhere in between 
the opening line 
and chapter nineteen. 
I couldn't get out. 
There wasn't a way, 
trapped in a plot 
that was strictly horseplay. 

You better send teams 
who are willing to search 
for clues in a murder...

The weekend is here again
And if I have my way
I'm going to spend my spare time
Watching films starring Doris Day

In nineteen forty nine
Ten years before I was born
Doris starred with Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall
In 'Young Man With A Horn'

She appeared with Gene Nelson
In 'Lullaby...

Vinyl (3/1/19)

“Wow, everybody just cleared out.
“That’s what happens when you leave a
“Bookstore with vinyl.”

I haven’t a clue what she meant
And to be perfectly honest, I’m not
Sure she knew either. She also
Carried some vinyl from the bookstore
That people clear out of because it
Sells vinyl: Hairspray. She...
