Best Rover Poems

This is my dedication

I am legend, so just push the start
I will save your family, so just call me Noah's ark
A pause on time as they show gratitude to the craftsmanship
1970 they created me, randomly introduced companionship
I transported the elite, by the way I still...

The Sea Rover


Moving sideways or careening
All hands hoay and avast ye
Sea dogs and landlubbers go on pillaging
Jolly Roger is flapping guarded by cannon and artillery

Pistol, daggers, and doubloon among things inside the sea-chest
Walk the plank if they caught you as offenders
Or heave to...

Today is the day,
I will give my dog away.
I wonder if he's sick,
or if he's too lazy to play.
I called the vet,
$80 I cannot pay.
My dog, my favorite pet,
he does not want to play fetch.
He never likes to get wet,
today he doesn't want to play...

I have an old dog, named Rover
he's covered in ticks, all over
a bath, he does need,
but they make him sneeze
so Rover keeps his ticks, all over....

It’s a robot dog with wheels some weirdo said loudly next door.
I am the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover, space explorer.
I collect rocks and soil, and monitor weather, dust, and the air.
But not on earth, on Mars. I say this with confidence, a robotic heir.

Future hopeful...

The funeral was well attended

Nobody came

It was sad in a way

Clashed with the dog passing away

There was a friend with a leg

When I say a leg

I actually mean two

Though he had the flu

The Priest nearly made it

But he passed too

The butcher discussed it with the...

I heard the wind on Mars
Like ours
And that blew me away

The same wolf
Howling
Out there

Roams
The rusted crust
Just as solitary
As his hunt
Here on Earth’s green hills

His wail longing for choirs

Searching the blue sunset on Mars
Same as the orange dusk of our own orb
Or upon any dark stone
Cast...

I was an essential nature photographer, very deeply immersed in my work,
Exploring leafy, wild green mansions, in the sunlit halls where beauty lurks.

I had always enjoyed natural pursuits, like minty trees reach for blue skies,
Enjoying the caress of amber sunshine, in the hours of magenta...

A distraught driver drove to Dover
Running roughshod in his Rover,
Crushing cultivated clover,
Mangling marigolds, moreover,
Pancaking progeny of plover.
Liquor-laden lies to lover;
Outcome: outed, ousted, over....

THE AMOROUS ROVER

An amorous dog, name of Rover,
Tried to win a lady dog over.
She agreed to a date
And although she was late,
Our Rover was truly in clover.

They had best caviar and champagne
And duck a’lorange for their main.
When it came to the sweet,
They conceded defeat
And decided...

Barefoot hunter stands on sand
A young man leaves a troubled land
On sand and water travels wide
Searching for that peace inside
And as he looks around the world 
He learns to know the cost
Of women loved and friendships lost
He passes on his love of stone
With friends and...

Walkin' meself by the place where Mike's Bar's
place to be this night of rain and cold chill,
I thought I'd have me some jolt that bejars
me gut havin' time now so as might kill.
Mike's a great one seen oft servin' used swill.
He'll lift a man's leavin's...

I,m off down the park for a walk with Rover,
I shouted back to my wife.
Well I dearly hope you both get run over,
For your pets are the bane of my life!
Charming, I thought as I slammed the front door,
Can,t a man have a simple pet.
It,s...

The Out-Going Treasurer had me briefed
But through the released records I still leafed,
Just in case a thing was tightly overlooked
And I some tomorrow hatefully booked
Over some books I had barefacedly cooked
And some missing one million or thereabouts
I should kindly explain its whereabouts…

The one hitting about...
