Best Sidled Poems

Lonely Lenny lizard was as sad as sad can be
He lived in the rain forest in a leafy green tree

Prayed his dreams for a lady lizard would finally come true
But he was so quiet and shy what could poor Lenny do

Wandering around so sadly with...

I am trying to find the backdoor
From this solitary room
The silence is oppressive
Shadows paint the walls with gloom.

The entrance stood wide open
I walked in feeling free
I was naïve and unsuspecting
When you pocketed the key.

I heard a loud jingle
As you sidled across the floor
Then you slipped...

No torrid steel rod cauterized my wounds
I could not lick the festering gashes clean
Your sharp-bladed tongue bit too deep
fangs plunged with each vile cursed scene

No mere prick or scratch did you inflict
as thorns draw drops from a finger laid bare
You severed our dangling cord with...

That day we met
‘twas summer ‘63
at the local hop
you sidled up to me
You took my hand 
  we danced 
     my heart 
        my soul

Come on Jiggles, let’s go for our walk, and remember, walk with pride
That’s my girl, my beautiful standard poodle, with your sexy stride

Jiggles short tail pounded from side to side,
Her excitement she could never pretend to hide

And her longing to get out was surely not...

We had started preparing dinner,
but when I told her they were grazing out back,
she wanted to go see them for herself.   I folded the dishtowel
and put dinner on hold.
           I suggested we take...

A spirited moon skipped and skid
across the silent snowy steppes
as a pale sun sidled and slid. 

Her passionate sensuous steps
softly seduced the stars to shine
across the silent snowy steppes.

I beseeched the night to be mine,
singing a sentimental song,
softly seduced the stars to shine.

The Milky Way...

Sally snake seethed silently
She’d bitten her tongue and it hurt
Sally slowly sidled in the sand dunes -
Unable to speak but alert
The venom it spread through her body
She hissed and cursed in her head
No antidote for the poison within her
Now alas poor Sally snake lies dead

I was around fourteen when the charms of girls began to beckon,
And I was about fifteen when I had my first date, I would reckon.
'Way back then there were certain rituals that must be observed,
Some of which left me quite baffled and somewhat unnerved!

The evening...

Well, 'e sidled up the sofa, and he snuggled up right close…
I said, “Now, watch it, Charlie, you’ll get ***-ash on me toast!”

'E said, “D’you think…?” I said, “Not much…” 'e said, “No, well, I mean…”
I said, “You what…?” 'E said, “You know…” I said,...

I went to a singles bar for the first time.
The lounge was full of smoke and smell
of heavy liquor.  The bartender quite busy.
Music blared “Smoke gets in your eyes”.
I smiled despite a small tear that got lost in my beard.

I sat...

It was slightly overcast, that day in April.  The crowd was cheering.  They always 
cheered for him.  He was over age, over the hill, and over indulged.  But, god how 
he loved this game.  Squinting his eye, he stepped back...

WELL … Ah woke up this mornin’,
Had a ringin’ in ma head.
Ma backbone felt like rubber,
An’ Ah wished that Ah was dead …
Ah crawled into the bathroom,
Pulled myself up to a lean.
Saw ma choppers in the mirror …
Such a tasteful shade o’ green!

It’s Friday night down at the depot,
and it’s closing in on half past four,
the knock off bell won’t send us home …
Friday night it’s the pub we adore.

The pub’s a great place to relax,
and spend valued time with our mates,
where we laugh, and we joke...

Wiz Away

I entered the empty funeral hall.
Am I not at the correct memorial gathering in visitation room H?
“Excuse me, sir, but is this the memorial for Mr. Wizby?
 There is not a posting besides the entrance.”
“Never fear, you will soon behold…”

What? I think, seeing nothing...
