Best Sheriff Poems

The new sheriff of Poetry Soup
 Rode into town on a horse named Snoop
 Jan was on his wanted list
 And the gang she did enlist
 In writing lim'ricks about poop
   He found her at the old saloon
 Telling poo jokes and singing...

The Sheriff, not a pleasant sort 
Was learning of a bad report
About a soul, Who stood defiant
And swore an oath, to topple tyrants

Who once was noble, but now has strayed 
Hell bend upon his rebels ways
In Royal Forest, made a stand
Against the laws of Nottingham

The...

Ask a swallow why he nests
below the edge where daylight shuns
catching insects sheriffs fail to warn blue

evisceral guardians thoughts intact
feign judgements eliptical repast upon our
gains as men can see the folly laws oblige your
honor swears red moon's deputy witheld
injustice paints...

Up in Sh*t Creek up his own fat butthole
the law is an ass who thinks he’s so droll.
  He calls himself sheriff
  but I just call him Griff
and he’s a real fuktard and a fugly troll!

Like all coward trolls he’s just a mother
but...

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...

Based on a Danny Nunn poem on Poetry Soup.." High Sheriff".

I had a dream last night maybe some reality
That I was in a lawsuit, forced to be my own lawyer
Purgury was the language of the day, the truth was seldom spoken
The wolves were at my...

When sheriff Taylor saw the docket
 He found Otis high as a rocket
 Incompetence was rife
 With his deputy Fife
 Who kept a bullet in his pocket

There is a new sheriff in town and he’s a Maine Coon of course.
We had tried a duck, a fish, a llama, a cobra, a spider and a horse.
We watched the Maine Coon strut up and down showing off his star.
He was spitting tobacco, and...

He was old and haggard, in the year nineteen twenty something
A tall lanky old man, with a worn out hat and a rusty ring
His squint blues eyes pulled together the wrinkles upon his face
With an expressionless gaze, that told of another time and place	

Half the...

In the 1960's, in a small West Texas college town of Alpine
Sul Ross State, was known for cowboys and rodeo teams
Had an above average student there, that wanted to be a cop
With a dream to throw all the crooks in jail, make them walk the...

Both of their eyes locked hard on one another.
The sheriff needed to talk with this grieving, vengeful brother.
"Have a seat and a drink with me," the sheriff said to him.
"I need to explain to you what actually happened,
but before I reveal anything to you
I need...

We need new recruits, let’s test your belly and guts
Taste the spirits; in the shootout you’ll need a boon

Bring your mere and ride it well...

Do you ever see me?

I see you every night. 

I see your lifeless body under the street lights. 

I hear you mom screaming let him be alright. 

I see the gunshot wound going through you like butter with a knife. 

You blood keeps pumping with...

Pecos Bill rode herd in the vast forlorn.
His quiet Paint gobbled buttered popcorn.
A tornado, in a fit, 
Came for a whirlwind visit. 
“Paint, meet Curley. His back I will adorn.”

Bill grabbed his rope and threw a loop with hope
And saddled the whirlwind so Paint could...

Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson
A brand new sheriff came to town
I'm sure he's not the last
We've had fourteen in the past year
They leave here mighty fast

Some can't stand the pressure
Others end up in boot hill
It ain't easy being Sheriff
Here in Cactus Mill

He was tall, compared...
