Best Mongoose Poems
There was a mongoose by a lake,
Who vowed, ‘No more cookies and cake.’
And he later confessed,
(If you haven’t all guessed):
‘…because it’s the year of the snake…’

If one mongoose is called a mongoose
Then can't we conclusively deduce
That two could be called mongeese
'Twould make a great discourse piece
Unless ye be dreadfully obtuse

WANTED:
Mongoose!
I need to borrow a mongoose!
I'm tired of this snake in my house!
And turn that little rascal loose
On every lizzard, snake, and mouse!
No--wait! Not the lizard. He's fine.
But that snake--need to cook his goose!
He could stay--OUTSIDE--INSIDE's mine!
Nope! There he is! Still on the loose!

Hello Mr. Snake how are you?
Here is my friend the mongoose.
He is always gentle.

You should have heard the steaming riot
Of the village carnival
The beating pans, the conversing griot
And the boys bright bacchanal
You do not know what relief the moment give
To a village's quiet life, the hope
For a hero's incentive to any who ends its life
What will be saved? A chicken's
Lost told by the wild hen house clucking
A batch of eggs forgotten
In the pingwing bush where they laid them,
The dogs from boredom
The girl brought away from mother's watch
In the pandemonium to meet
The boy whose body is laden with tropic heat
So much of destiny and joy
Is played out from the intentions to destroy
The mad mongoose who dared
The quiet Sunday afternoon to stroll
For food, and lambs bleat in the fold.

Verse
A mongoose lives in my upper nostril, with her man.
They make as much noise up there as they possibly can.
Honking and laughing themselves into a frenzy daily.
Making so much noise, Linda Sue and her man named Bailey.
They would be my most annoying parasites except,
There is a mini-kangaroo hopping around in my bicep.
She is always jumping and thumping, keeping me off key.
Making me irritated, and a tiny bit angry.
Then there are the baboons in my stomach, Mack, Moe and Mim.
They are non-stop wrestlers, so here I am wide awake at three a.m.
Typing a poem when I would much rather be sleeping.
Oh, good grief! Now the pig in my retina is doing some leaping.
It must be nice to be normal and not be aware of these parasites.
I will bet you just go to bed soundly after you turn out the light.
Not me, no way, not at all. I am sorry, but for me there is a little uh-oh.
To me, I can barely go to sleep, for there is always a show.

Light Verse
Snowflakes- fragile as they are.
Silently gather upon granite slopes.
In fantastic avalanche like clusters.
Burying the cancel cultist narc and the blinded woke...
wonderful- wonderful avalanche-
Weak minded cancel cultist feel threatened by everything.
Except for themselves and their barber pole thoughts.
Screaming diversity. Never mentioning unity.
What a lonely slog through life it must be.
The squirrels once basked in vats of Elon's musk.
Now the slightest scent of a mind unchained.
Finds them gnashing yellow teeth-burning brains.
Now they're eating their own... for lunacy is unsustainable.
Enjoy the show-enjoy the show.
Now a clueless squirrel had the nerve to toss the nuts of God in my face.
When it had gleaned Jesus out of everything.
So go ahead-hypocritical asp.
Spit your venom...
My mongoose soul just laughs!

i once knew a giant moose
who loved a little mongoose
they never once missed
every time they kissed
just how ill let you deduce

The ferreting eyes
Tiny bulbs of duality
Moon and sun in the shrubbed darkness
Dogs frenzied, the cries
Of sudden solidarity
And the lane broken out into madness
The small village shudders
With glee, the found frailty
Of pingwing patches permitting invasion
Through porous borders
Confronts mortality
Man and mongoose devoid of conversation.
Little furry creatures
Sudden sites of calm fear
Making cunning moves for survival, fast
Beyond human pleasures
Hunting it in its lair
Where death its wanton shadow often cast.

Verse
Bring in a mongoose
to kill that predator snake
who ate that poor mouse.
He's small, but vicious.
The snake doesn't have a chance
when the mongoose strikes.

We look like weasels
But we are related to cats
Let’s do the mongoose cha cha and shake our fats!
Rata Tat Tat, Rata Tat Tat!
We like our meat
But will also eat insects and plants
We bring up our kits together
in a colony where we’ll be eating ants.

Steel insulation warm thin hot smooth downy shepherd smoothness. Pistol clasps palms crystal misses birching basket weavers.
Fluffy firm pedestals release hard deniers.
Doldrum office charts demonstrating
Appendages conceal resistance.
Halcyon boogie board heroes.
Greek play rehearsal.
