Best Smarts Poems

If throughout the city you are a roamer, 
you will see the word "civilization" is a misnomer. 
It looks like a city, but it's a jungle out there. 
When walking down the streets, one must take extra care. 
There are liars, cheats, and crooks galore....

Here I sit in my big easy chair
Getting older by the minute, losing my hair
Still got the smarts
But those big old farts
Are making it hard to concentrate I declare

I once was young but didn't care
And now I'm old and know it.
I'm slow of step and gray of hair
But Dang! I'm smart and show it.
 
 I may smell rancid,may fall down
May even spit and cough,
I'll share the wisdom I have found
Or you can...

Agent ninety-nine and her Smart
And would you believe a sweetheart?
A spy that is kind?
A mystery find?
The smoke of her eyes sees Bogart.

Their triplets in trouble - a game.
A mom and their daddy’s acclaim.
It’s KAOS at home.
Their ears in a dome.
The mishaps of duo so lame.

There's a thing called street smarts I'm learning about.
Everyone seems to have them but I am without.

Do unto others before they do it to you.
This is their motto, it's all that they do.

I cringe when I see it, they laugh when they find
someone they call...

Know what it's like to be seventy-eight
It ain't all sunshine and roses
Can kinda feel like yesterday's generation
Then answer a question someone poses

No one knew the answer but this old guy
Makes me really feel kinda smart
Still got some stuff to offer these young'uns
Old, but I ain't...

The Smarts And Dogged Callisthenics...
Cannot Wall The Will Of Catapulting Mice

A titled unwritten poem requiring
little effort to dip and dive
I accidentally, inadvertently,
and unexpectedly scrolled up in digital archive
among various and sundry literary endeavors,
eh, maybe about a bajillion and five,

in various stages of completion kept alive
on...

The old can travel and visit
Cool places some think exquisite
For our ebb and flow
Even fools should know
Requisite restroom...where is it?...

A lesson learnt in ancient Rome:
Beware the sun with sea-salt foam
But learnt at Yale
With skin so pale
Don't leave your bikini at home!...

My dog's as smart as a geek.
He can bark in English, Arabic, and Greek.
He’s expert in canine mathematics,
can discuss dog-fight aerodynamics,
and is fluent in bow-wow doublespeak.
And yours?

Would it be okay if later today
I brought Bixby by to play
with Boris and Doris 
and Horace and Morris
and...
