Best Quick As A Flash Poems

Bank robber Jim was one unlucky bloke
Went to draw his gun but the holster broke
It dropped on the bank floor
And went off with a roar
The shock was too much and he had a stroke...

Though he was unconscious he hadn't died
Woke in a coffin for his...

“Send me a pic,” he sent with a smile, 
“Share what you’re hiding away.
You’re a beautiful girl, not like the rest, 
And you’re never ever even afraid.”

“Hmm, let me think, can I really trust you?” 
She replied as quick as she could,
“Sure you can,” he...

How often does your childhood memories 
Haunt you? Deep asleep? 
When you awake at dawn? Halfway through 
The Rubicon of your daydreams?
In the thick of solitude, or just when 
You wax nostalgic with your folks?
Do you hold happy ones so dear you wish to 
Turn...

While out on the playground sitting on grass
Teacher asked  question of her third grade class
What will you all do
When you finish school?
Little Johnny replied quick as a flash

A tree is what I want to be when I am all grown up
“You cant be a...

The New Sheriff

By Elton Camp

The election had been just the week before
Sheriff Johnson now held the office no more
Some the new sheriff didn’t know how to take
“I just hope we haven’t made a big mistake.”

On the very day the new term was to begin,
Sheriff Roberts...

With Apologies to Keebler

I bit into a cookie, or so I thought
Of the homemade kind, not store bought
Too many nuts for me
Worthless, you'd agree
Tasteless crumbs that would leave you fraught

Tossed into the garbage and bagged as trash
They jumped back up at me, quick as a...

Though it was as quick as a flash light
And as light as plucked feathers
That even a lazy wind would have
Swept it away with ease
Still on my lips glows your first kiss

A silent audience of multitudinous stars
Witnessed as we held each other tight
On that September night
And...

When I was a mere five years old
An Alsation dog was never controlled
As quick as a flash
It bit me on the ass 
It's reaction was never foretold   

Since then dogs have scared me quite a lot
A resolution needed to be sought
As I grew...

Grandpa had so many folks and things he cared for;
God's Creation, his family, nation and very much more.
I sorta thought I was special to him, the apple of his eye,
Showering love on me of which he had and abundant supply!

One of his dear possessions in...

I woke up one morning, still sleepy, still slow
Then dad said “Hey Sam, have you seen the snow”?

“Snow”! I shouted, now in a dash,
I put my clothes on, quick as a flash.

Moving quickly now, sleepy no more,
I grabbed my sledge and headed for the door.

Whizzing...

Fast as lightning 
quick as a flash
away I went
darting here, running there
like a bumble bee I flew
so fast that I knew
no one could catch me 
no they couldn't
cause I'm the fastest 
and the baddest
I know that I can run so fast
but the one that can...

The creatures that could fly, flew out this night
They brought forth their powers, with them their might
The black dragon is largest on the list
They are the strongest, waving their clawed fist

Next would have to be the fairies so trim
Wielding dark talents purely on a whim
The...

The Dark Curse, The Monster and His Act Of Vengeance Averted

He killed a loud squirrel, hungry hawk and silent mouse
Tossed them in a black bag along with six dead toads
By midnight moon took all to the old hag witch's house
Hidden deep in oak grove at...

Thierry Henry, he came back
got us a goal, quick as a flash
to help us win the match
I can gladly divulge, back of the net did bulge.
Thierry Henry Godlike preacher
Theo Walcotts brand new teacher
the tricks he's got, his delicate shot.
Play it, don't waste it
place it, don't...
