Best Shrew Poems

Sinew torqued and bowed as he pressed the weight
Of drudge claimed goods to be stacked and stowed.
The lady claimed that his omnipresent proclivities
Would neither build strength of character nor stature.
Laugh, she did, as she  knew the wolverine has left the den,
To  build his...

I took a brand new girlfriend to see ''The taming of the shrew''
She was a little apprehensive as we joined the queue
but I sensed that her humour, If anything was dry
and very soon her laughter, brought tears to her eyes.

If I be waspish, Best beware...

TO TAME A SHREW


Tunke Tunke Tunke
I dragged her along and into the trunk
Clunk clunk clunk, 
I hear some screaming from the Tunke

I drove away, in my brand new Lex
Avoiding both grammar and spelling checks
Safely away, I saved the day
Off I am to the road by...

Before mankind evolved on Earth
or mammals roamed the land
t’was only bugs and dinosaurs
that God had ever planned.

But monkeying around one day
he thought he’d have some fun
and made a man to pass his time,
thus mankind had begun.

But boredom overtook him
nothing changed within his land
so he thought...

The Untamable Shrew

By Elton Camp

It’s ever harsh words and criticize
Always excused by endless lies

All he says and does is wrong
Every day the same old song

With outrage, she will say
“Why do...

Tiny, insignificant little shrew
Spinning lies which you spew
The rubber walls are calling you
Marbles left, you have but few...

"The Euthanating Of A Shrew"
How cowardly he hid within the heated night
just brooding up all manner of his dark delight;
all sorcerous they be,
and evil if you see
beyond his explanation of his sordid blight!

Incouthenated, he did promise Nellie Dee,
a simple mind--but not known for her chastity,
that...

The feisty woman spewed torrential abuses
He holds her in his arms till her anger defuses  
To despair over her phobias he  simply refuses

Nightmares of being hated and unloved one day
Cloud her thoughts of his fearful avenge in some way
His calming voice cannot unnerve...

Balderdash, that's what it is
Balderdash. For shrews are untamable
except in movies....

I once fancied myself a petruchio
And set out to tame myself a shrew
There existed a Katherina. 
A dame beautiful but crazy and wild
Admired by every eye
Yet none willing to get acquainted with her
For her nature,the very repugnance of meek and
mild
Amplified.
"Poltroons,behold ye buffoons
See me subdue this...

He's tiny
 barely one inch long,
 stubby tail
 too short to grab or hold.
Glossy black ebony fur
 so thick and full
 reflected in the rays of sun
 too brief to be seen.
He's fast and quick 
 slithering between the stones
 appearing in the hidden crevices

The shrewdness of the shrew
Out of place on her
Would better be placed 
Upon a gentle woman
Of genteel character

This shrew of a woman
Abused by a man in her childhood
Angry all the time
Doesn't even know why herself
The only thing she knows 
Is she is angry at this...

I sneaked in the house late last night
Couldn't risk turning on the light
Tripped over a chair and took flight
I felt the smite        I felt the smite

A bruise appeared upon my thigh
Although from drinking, I was high
Without having an...

Samantha my cat brought me a present.
It really wasn't all that pleasant.
She brought it into my sun room door
and left it there on the floor..
I'm finally recognizing her gifting growl.
It's much more dramatic than a mere meow..
Now I'm wondering just what to do.
Does she need...
