Best Rod Poems

Your rod is not for signs my brother...
Stop looking for red seas to divide...
It should be the trophy of your bride...
That other sister need not to bother...

The pie between your thigh is priceless...
serving it cheaply to mark a moment
may lead to a lifetime of tearful...

Conchita Dowser, Water Witch,
Is famous for her willow switch
The water she found
Is all underground
And digging it up is a B itch!...

Hot Rod
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014


His hot rod was way too fast.
His lot was quickly cast.
He felt the need
For continual speed,
No gas station was ever passed....

For something that used to run so well, 
It looks as useless as anything else sitting rusted.
If it would’ve kept working, everything would be swell,
But it sat around, so everything is busted.
Anything rusted is worthless,
even a Corvette.
Will the wicked Hot rod run again?
It’d be a...

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO
CARS THESE DAYS?
THEY SURE AREN'T BUILT
THE SAME AS YESTERDAYS

WHAT YOU SEE ON THE ROAD
IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PLASTIC MOLD
THERE IS NO WAY TO 
COMPARE TO THE OLD

THEY USED TO HAVE CLASS
A CERTAIN KIND OF FLARE
YOU REMEMBER LIKE A 
55 CHEVY BEL-AIRE

As a child in days gone by
Mother’s rod was swift  but sure
Many a weal as time went by
Scarred my skin an ugly blue.

Nagging was the way of life
My mother used to lay the rule 
Not a day did I cry
Child abuse, nor reported it...

it had been predicted
the crime of your century
i would figure out
and do it justice

It was written
after many years of famine
and tragedy
the justice i did the crime of the century
would lead you to enlightenment

the lasting effects of my iron rod
would last for hundreds of...

Curt and Rod were just hanging around..
For they were known as tightwads..
Girls passed on by without a sound.
They stole some money and tripped over a bipod.
Being chased by Clod!...

Faith requires both the rod and the staff to get salvation;
whoever fails in this quest will experience much tribulation.
Try to climb the rockiest mountain, you have ever seen
without the rod, you will fall into the pit.
Try to live without God, and never lean
on his staff,...

The lord gave me life,
to what end will it be?
He gave me a family that loves me,
he gave me a life to live.
To what road will it lead?
I am wondering in this misty forest
Keeping a hold of the iron rod with my left hand
And holding...

The red sea surface before me
Deep valley at my sides
My pharaoh case after me
Oh! Where is my Moses

I have suffered in Egypt
Promised Land still far away
My pharaoh has no mercy
Oh! God where is my rod

I heard the sound of horses
Galloping fast to stop my vision
The...

The rod you choose
The jokes you made
The insults you gave
Where only the bruise of my pass
The pain you inflicted
The tears you saw
The secrets you hid
Are the shadows that keeps knocking at my door
The fear you instilled
The lies you told
Are the demons that torments my soul
The...

Back in the early '50s, my Dad believed in,
"Spare the rod, spoil a child," his lesson seeping in.
As a young growing kid, I longed for playtime's call,
Believing in the joy of games, both indoors and outdoors, I stood tall.

Mornings meant waking up to breakfast's warm...

Climb inside and buckle in
Anxiously twisting the key
As a mechanical symphony roars to life
Setting nine hundred horses free

The machine becomes an extension 
Of my own flesh and bone
My heart beats in choppy rhythm
While eight cylinders scream in tone

Launch sequence initiated
The green bulb’s affirmative glare
Release one...
