Best Ned Poems

My dad is bigger than yours she said.
It made me mad; I wished she was dead.
Took my anger to my Uncle Ned.
He started laughing, happy instead.

Most serious now, sick in my head,
Ran to my cousin, Goofball named Zed.
He chased me off, his face spitball of...

Ned Kelly, bush ranger.

An Australian bush ranger
Of Irish descent
He roamed through our ranges
With evil intent.

His name was Ned Kelly
He earned so much fame
Teaming up with his brothers
To rob was their game

He killed him, some policemen
There were three of them
And so repercussions 
From this evil did...

Dungle Bore,

strand,
He had the Kelly
earmark, wore,
his descendants
Harpers, grand,
wore the Dan Kelly

trademark proved,

We knew he had seen it all,
a willing participant in events
considered heroic sixty years past,
still lucid and clear, a history eagerly
to be read!

"Things were different then",
was how he began each answer,
and then his voice dropped
and faded as he realized the
hopelessness of words.

"Things were different then",
was...

When Ned came to the island with his dog
greeted by the men in bulging Speedos, 
some he knew and many that he didn't
he saw the tip of an enormous iceberg
the submerged of which would quickly be revealed
men and women would die in agony and pain.

Ned Kelly

A villain to some
A hero to most
He fought
He stole
And he killed
Stood up to the law
As he rode the outback
Robbing trains and banks
Helping the people as he went
Stories would be told for years
Myths would become legend
The legend would become history
Ned Kelly, the man who fought...

Sneak, sneak, power, power.
My little carton of milk.
God protects him.
All over the Ned.
Sneak, Sneak, twizzle of eye.
Light light, almost on.
Light, light, candle option.
Of course, rubbber.
Coming close.
Ned catches you....

He was a beautiful Labrador
Crossed with God-knows-what.
The very first thing you noticed,
The one thing you couldn't help but spot

Was the point on the top of his head.
A very odd looking protrusion.
It made you take a second look
In case it was an illusion.

But it was real,...

Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly, born 1854
Beveridge was my town
I wasn’t born with a crown.
Irish parents I have,
Dad, a transported convict
told me, when I was a lad.
Dad, with possession of meat,
Without explanation, 
Was locked up because
Of legislation.
Six months later
Dad, died, 
got on the drink
His liver, he fried.

Ned the Nerd Gets the Last Laugh

By Elton Camp

Ned is one of the smartest boys in his school
But he is often the subject of scorn or ridicule
Although what others may think he doesn’t care
And he acts like those who hate him aren’t there

Ned is often...
