Best Plucker Poems
She whispers, “He loves me; he loves me not,”
as she plucks the dewy petals off a daisy.
She thinks of the misery that loving him has brought.
Oh, but his sweet kisses. They melt her and make her crazy!
As she plucks the dewy petals off a daisy,
she thinks of a few bad times; he gave her bruises then.
Oh, but his sweet kisses. They melt her and drive her crazy!
He always brings her flowers, vowing not to sadden her again.
She thinks of a few bad times; he gave her bruises then
although there have been such good times she also can recall!
He always brings her flowers, vowing not to sadden her again.
Two petals remain; one by one each dewy petal shall fall.
Although there have been such good times she also can recall,
she thinks of the misery that loving him has brought.
Two petals remain; one by one each dewy petal shall fall.
She whispers, “He loves me . . . he loves me NOT.”

I wondered if owls became depressed
And if they ever cry
Then instead of saying who
They just wondered why
If a man pulls pickles from a jar
At his place of work
Does he become a pickle plucker
Or a gherkin jerk
My marriage lasted forty years
It's been a lot of fun
The reason I'm still living is
My wife don't own a gun
When she calls me honey dew
I really get suspicious
Because it's honey dew the ironing
Or honey dew the dishes
When something needs fixing at my house
I do it right away
Why put off until tomorrow
What you can screw up today
Thanks to genetic research
The future's bright it shows
You'll be able to choose your children's ears
And even pick their nose.

Old feathers
ancient eyes
new lips
romantic face
handsome heart,
your dry sorrow
his healing palms,
large love
kisses of cream
rose pocket
deep touch
passionate pull,
He comes for your heart...
a soul plucker
hunts light
stalks beauty
cries caress
blood beast
prays mutely,
song stays
weaponized wisdom
sensitive wrong
God groans -

We thought we'd have a little fun
At my friends house last night
His wife would demonstrate how it should be done
To be sure we did it right .
One of the lads would pluck eyebrows
Another would use a lady shave
Solemnly I had to swear a vow
That I would endure the waxing craze.
Well when I saw the eyebrow Plucker
At last I began to relax
I heard him yelp and thought '' Sucker ''
I bet you wish you'd chosen the wax.
Let it go a little hard and playful
His wife said as she shaved around his bits
A woman , A razor and his tadpole
No that would have really given me the squits .
Then she put wax strips on my hairy legs
Telling me to hold on to the chair
Promise me it won't hurt , I beg
OOOOUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHH
I flew up in the air .
I've decided women are masochistic
They really have to be
Or perhaps they are just sadistic
and enjoy inflicting cruelty .
So I'm never again going to play women's games
They can call me chicken all they like
When they've finished laughing and calling me names
I'll just say '' YOU CAN TAKE A HIKE ''

A little boy named Nathan Tucker.
Grew up being a nose hair plucker.
He pulled em' till he sneazed.
He did just as he pleased.
Until the day he lost his pucker.

The Poets Plucker….. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Here in my cold lonely bed I ponder my all
I have FEARS in SOLITUDE of being alone
DEJECTION of my love had pierced my heart…..yet
THE NIGHTINGALE sings lustily a cheerful tune
My consciousness behaves as EOLIAN HARP
as Coleridge poem suggests full of delusion
So through opaque glass my window I cannot see
FROST AT MIDNIGHT has now spoilt for me this vision
So with dejection, curl into a foetal ball
hiding In THIS LIME-TREE BOWER A PRISON MAKE
I await my fate, wondering will my heart heal
Will I from my ongoing pity…soon awake

A blanket of white
Fell in the night
My garden of flowers
Was nowhere in sight
I walked it afoot
I searched with my eyes
All blooms seemed lost
And covered with ice
But then I spotted
The most beautiful rose
Covered in crystal
That nature had froze
A delicate marvel
Unique in its shape
Frozen in time
No plucker to take

H/T to Chicken Footles by Andrea Dietrich

Footle
A turkey was being plucked and it hurt
He was in pain and his fowl words were curt
He pecked at the plucker
Said “sing for your supper”
And then ran for his life overexert.
Now the turkey's in the altogether
He is feeling lighter than a feather
He's thankful to be here
And for losing his gear
All he is wanting now is fine weather.

Limerick
In ancient days, few knew how to write
So they would sign an "x" as their name,
Then kiss it to show sincerity
So the "x" , a kiss then became!
If anyone ever had regrets
Mr. Giocondo would be the one
He commissioned the Mona Lisa
Then refused it, when it was done!
Earnest Evans, a chicken plucker
Became a singer and changed his name
To honor his idol Fats Domino,
Chubby Checker is who he became
The standard size slinky can be fun
Go ahead and play all you desire
About that slinky did you know this?
It's made with 80 feet of wire!

Thorns surround the flower to protect its charm and beauty
From the plucker's hands to ensure its safety and security,
The black plucker breaks rules being careful of self harm
And gets ready to foul and harm the flower falling in doom.

Ryan Ran Away
Ryan romped, stomped and galloped away;
Did swing and sway returning another day;
Wisconsin cheese;
Should say please,
And with his absent mind still tries to play.
Jim Horn
He had modest mother who was a plucker;
Someone with stick of sucker had stuck her;
Broke yoke;
And no joke;
Chicken not steak then we would chuck her.

THE MONSTER THAT BIT ME
I spoke of the monster that bit me
And the world stood against me
How can u be so profane ?
Was the question I received
The old women clapped their hands over my head
To express their disgust and disdain
The young men blamed my fairness
And no one could feel my pain
Young maiden have you no shame
To bring disgrace upon my name ?
Those were the words of my father
As harsh as a stormy weather
Is this the baby that sucked from me ?
Oh what is this foible i have lived to see?
When did I grow a wanton clover?
Were the questions of my mother
I saw the smirk in the monster's face
As he stood with high shoulders in grace
How many more maidens have suffered in silence?
From the fear of the world's rejection ?
How many more monsters would walk freely
After taking such lustful bites
How many more maidens awaits the pain
Of this lurking evil beast
O at dusk he was a greedy plucker
And at dawn a holy mam
He has left in me a scar forever
A seductive broken woman
