Best Pickup Poems

(song lyrics)
Verse 1:
Now I can’t go fishin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my rod and reel
Can’t go snow-racin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my snowmobile
And I got flaws - that’s for sure - and sometimes run amuck
But the final straw that I can’t take: Ya’ sold my pickup truck

Chorus:
You...

Tell me 
What you see 
When you 
Look at me 
is it really what you thought 
it was? 
And I've 
had enough  
of things like love 
and bitterness. 
Got no one to thank but the 
clouds in the sky, 
but why, why do they...

He wrote inside my 9th grade yearbook: "I'd like to get with you inside a kayak."

 Today I would respond: 
"Your kisses were so heavenly, but you abandoned me. 
So it's a 'no' to me and you together in a small canoe!"

Dedicated to my first...

Never had the courage to say, 
"Hi Beautiful, will you go to bed with me?"
My face would probably get slapped
But as they say in baseball
many strikeouts for a Home Run....

A drunk redneck fell out of his pickup
While in the middle of a big hiccup
When a needy dame
Saw the new fair game
And wondered how she’d pick up that hick up

I was asking a friend just the other day 
If there was anything he'd do to help me on my way 
He said he'd like to but I was asking to much 
All that stuff in the back of my pickup truck 
I haul it...

I swear Sir! 
Enough of that!
Your unwanted fervor
Driving me mad, insane;
Your empty ambitions, 
Vapid stories,
No manners;
To make it short –
Go to Hell and stay awhile 
Or may be longer…
I swear, Sir!...

The pickup truck ahead of us
Had decals on the glass,
The first a flag – American – 
Like many cars we pass.

The second, a machine gun,
At an angle, all in white,
Announcing to the world
Someone is looking for a fight.

I guess interpretation
May arrive at different ends
But I’m...

Daddy in His Pickup
A farmer just doing his work tells
His theory from where he sits,
"Forty miles an hour is fast enough 
for anybody, isn’t it?"
Driving from home from being downtown
Windows down; pure air; feeling fit—
Waving at farm friends or passersby
The whole neighborhood was close knit
One...

Oh hey girl, I have to inquire 
Do you like to sit on live wire?
    You’re making me choke 
    From all of that smoke
‘Cause damn girl, that booty’s on fire!...

People say the craziest things
When they're trying to pick up a girl
None of these ever seem to work
But I'll try to give it a whirl

Is it hot in here or is it just you
I have heard some people say
Hi there, you wanna get some air
Cause...

open eyes

a big

I am an Electrical Engineer
But was alone and all was dark
Beneath me and above
My life was full of volts and amps
But not the spark of your love
So will you be the start of my sinusoid?

Dawn in the twilight
With you am on a flight
Your feelings I...

I know how to find  

Something silver like a dime  

Just like brew in a stein  

I wanted it to be mine   

Without a decline  

Decided to take the time   

Challenge to bend my legs  

Which...

Trailing steel cans
and rolling out their
long rags.

The morning is a frost
broken in clamorous relief.

Frayed holes in their eaten
gloves carry a crushed chore,
a rotted job bundled in skins
of wet plastics.

They emerge from a deep 
hidden hour
riding the back jaws
of neglected mammoths.

A storm hammers
in the scrape of...
