Best Mcwhirtle Poems
Sighed Adam to Eve:
“Because you were deceived,
Like a fool, I believed.
Sadly, all our conceived
Will be sorely bereaved.”
Well, that should be it, right?
No, boys and girls, not quite!
So you can hear what they were all up to,
We now bring this long lost tape to you:
Adam:
“You really are a stupid cow!”
“Just look at us! Where are we now?”
Eve:
“Shut up! You filthy, pawing pig!
Before I kick you in the fig!”
Angel of the Lord:
“You’ll have to leave, take this outside.”
“Your presence here, we can’t abide.”
And of course, the slinky one:
“Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah!”
“She’s such a fool and so is he.
If I had hands, I’d clap with glee.
If the rest of them are all like that,
I’ll soon have my routine down pat!
But I’d better scoot before they crush
My poor wee head to compost mush.
I’ll set up shop, lead them all astray
And collect them all for Judgment Day!”
“Hah, Hah, Hah, Hah, Hah, Hah!”
For now, that’s all that we can send.
Thank you for your time, my friends.
So, remember, girls, no fruit to lend,
And boys, say “NO!” or it is THE END.
Fidgety fingertips
tickling tempo and time,
modeling melody,
writing in rhythm and rhyme.
Frolicking fantasy -
magic in music sublime.
Perfectly pleasing performance;
cleverly crafting the climb.

A genuine soul
Whose pen is so bright
A master of words
Whatever his write
Always a cool cat
Always polite
Cheers! To you brother
My friend...love & light
I won’t shop Black Friday
because I’m not ready
to fend for my life
in a scene rough and heady.
So call me a coward!
You won’t see me fight ‘em,
and risk getting maimed
for a much-desired item.

With humorous mind
Plucks spunky courage
To write poop verses
Poems not abridge
To a complete gaffe
Loves stiff cockie pudding
A gentle soft soul
Nutty and charming

Poetry Contest: Mcwhirtle Me
Sponsored by: Charles Messina
A broken heart
Is like a cracked vase
Affection can't stay
Love left without a trace
Hurt runs deep
It needs healing & space
But true love prevails!
So powerful, you embrace

Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three
Flourish and elegance
Meter and relevance
Grasp of the elements
Sensitive delicate
Post the best poetry
For all to see
Building community
Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee
Magnitude, quantity
Content moronity
Quality suffering
Sputtering, stuttering
Faster through brevity
Haiku for me
Where is the paradox?
Chatter and atta-talks
Raising poetic stocks
Moving up leaderboards
Elevates all their scores
Best that you just ignore
All your competitors'
New poetry
Elegant, painstaking
Beautiful, time-taking
Longer time finishing
Numbers diminishing
Falling so rapidly
Not even on page three
Drop productivity
Maybe you finish a
Poem or three
Status? ridiculous
Leaders? superfluous
Seek to equilibrate
Advocate, animate
Irreconcilable
Paradox schmeradox
Sharing delightfully
Cranking productively
Poetry supersedes
All rivalry

Title: Irreconcilable Paradox
Date written: 02/17/2022
Heaven’s delight
Brownies supreme
Whip up a bowl
Of peaches and cream
Reach for the sky
Launch a sweet dream
Hang all your hope bubbles
Across a cherry moonbeam

I’m living the dream;
so grateful am I
for mountains around me,
green grass and blue sky.
Not all are so lucky
to have things they need:
great friends, food, and a home.
Wanting for more leads to greed.

Noodles Noodleman knew
The cookbook through and through
Noodles Noodleman knew
He must teach Sally too
Alas, Sally withdrew
Cooking she could not do
She then began to brood –
What could poor Noodles do…?
Can't you get it
Love is something that you are
If you sweat it
You're something else by far
She looked in the mirror
and giggled with pleasure
to see that she wore
her old clothes from her teens.
But then she recalled
that she wore them in pregnancy -
laughing out loud,
she still loved her old jeans.
Jack Horne for Nette's 'It's in the Jeans.'
I’m really amazed by
Romeo the great lover
who boasted his greatness
of loving my friend Tess.
Oh, Gee! How hard it is
for him to display his trademark
of love, for her
in the presence of his wife.
Walking under a burning sun
Listening evocative Christmas songs
Sweat furrows my motionless visage
Snow calmly is falling down
Alive drops dissolve my thoughts
A fresh breath gently stirs
Walking straightaway still alone
Looking for a friendly crucial turn
Nobody matching my broken mind
What's hot? What's cold?
Deep down somebody is already here
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Today we celebrate
Sammy the Seaman
who caught enough
to overfill his big net.
It's truly amazing that
he fed every family
from one single catch
which we'll never forget.
