Best Slunk Poems

PART 1:          THE MEETING

Alone one night neath lantern light, I trudged a weary mile.
Forlorn, I went with shoulders bent (the storms around me howled)
until I met a Silhouette behind a sultry smile – 
She gazed with...

There was an elusive little guy often espied during World War Two,
And who he was and whence he came no one ever really knew!
He was a bald headed little feller with a very prominent nose,
And he always left the message "Kilroy Was Here" in very...

Jungle by night

In the far jungle
The big bear of darkness lay
Crouched all night on leafy ground.

It glared through eyes of
Oil lamps of far away huts.
When dawn came, it slunk away.

I wrote a great book, part memoir, part novel
Shopped it around, I ain’t too proud to grovel
Got kicked upstairs to a big publishing head
He invited me in, and here's what was said:

This screed you call Crack House of the 13 Gables
Is one long rant mixed...

Now legends tell in History 
    of events that shook the world.
But nothing compares to the show we had 
    that caused my toes to curl.
The story grows each passing year 
    though some try to...

If I drove to the mountain top,
	could I talk to God?
If He spoke when I reached
	would He say I treat the planet odd?
If I swam to the ocean floor,
	could I talk to a squid?
If he spoke to me when we met
	would he speak of the...

An idiot driver cut in front of me on the freeway
Just because they did not get the big picture 
I have to slam on my brakes?
Could I let it slide?
Apparently not.
I threw my hands up like “what the heck?”
She gave me the bird.
I gave her...

The calico cat sat firmly 
on my quill.
I commanded she get off,
it was my will!

She slanted her green eyes
and hissed.
Here, sat a fierce feline poet, 
demanding her poem not be 
dismissed.

So, I slunk quietly into my
kitchen.
What could a cat write, what
am I missing?

Ater a spot...

The rec was where we dug sandy tunnel dens 
in danger of collapse.There I fired my catapult 
on a group of three children some distance away 
as I hid behind a willow tree 
not far from the passage leading in. 

The straightness and speed of...

I'm not afraid of dogs
  Why, they're as harmless as frogs
First they growl and bark at me
  Then they lift up their leg and pee

One hound tried to act real tough
  By tugging hard at my pants cuff
I cleared my throat with...

Jazz was born beneath a heap of rubble,
An abandoned stray, her life was a poem
The more she shivered, slunk and tried to hide
The more she appealed to my rescuing side.
It took lots of convincing to bring her home.
She was certainly worth all of the trouble....

Spiffed up in my tux and looking so cool

   My, how the ladies do titter and drool

      I strut about to entice

         Fell on my bum on the ice

It started with a drink I drank till drunk
when I started to wonder if I'd blink till blunk.

As I opened my eyes in a stink I stunk
and I started to think and thank till thunk.

Life beginning to sink, it sank till sunk.
I was feeling the...

Something sits slunk in the corner
Am I the only mourner?
This stranger rocks weeping 
it has been sleeping

It has awoke to find 
its nightmare was not in its mind
It realizes that this is real
sadness it begins to feel

I step closer to this unknown
For in this dungeon...

In a land of endless saltbush stretching miles across the plains
Of western New South Wales where it rarely ever rains,
And the temperature is searing on a soil that's living hell,
Where bleaching bones remind you of the killer droughts as well.

In a land where boredom strikes...
