Best Snacked Poems

Ben and Cora Green had seven children, like calendar pages turning;
Each one born on a different weekday, like mango sun, forever burning.

Zoe was pretty, with big eyes and dimples, while Leah loved dancing,
Yet, Bill was sort of a pessimist; like when mystic trouble is glancing.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FAT SNAKE???

Snakes are squirmy and sassy and naughty,
snakes are wormy and creepy and haughty.
They sleep and hiss and eat all day,
they creep and miss their feet to play.
At the zoo I met a...

Masticator

To salty, crunchy foods I gravitate:
Popcorn, fries, potato chips and nachos
And on my plate some food to masticate:
Fried chicken, pizza, hamburgers and tacos!
A large hot soup can soothe my appetite,
But serve it, please, with crackers I can BITE!

A bullfrog and a butterfly both chanced upon each other.
‘My dear, you are an ugly beast!’ the bullfrog dared to utter.
‘Why froggy,’ gasped the butterfly, astounded by his words.
 ‘My beauty is unparallel while yours is so absurd!’
‘Ha – ha! Ho – ho!’ laughed froggy...

For breakfast I sat down with sweetened cocoa,
then snacked on Hershey kisses all day long.
A chocolate cream éclair I had with dinner.
I’m changing my bikini for sarong.

The Reflection

The high definition television screen
Played a movie of the world opposite it
I delighted in my real-time cinema
As I snacked on an assortment of insects
Buried in the rotten wooden frames

Now, in my television set
I saw the most beautiful white dove
Seeming to have always been there
Strangely...

To Your Health

I read an article that said laughing's good for you
It strengthens the heart muscle, it's something you should do
It made me think about my health and all the things I see
That I should eat to guarantee a new and better me

So I thought...

There was a hole in your cage
And out ran you
Head held high and laughing
Like a gerbil would do
You hid behind the dryer
And maybe slept a few
And had a merry time
Thinking we couldn't catch you
You grazed on paper
And snacked on the lint
All the while we were...

It was dusk and eerie, rain dripped from 
Leaves that rustled in the trees 
Of the nearby woods, each shadow cast
A reminder that danger lurked about!
A shrill scream cut through the darkness,
Bringing with it fear and dread, 
A certain warning, that murder was the mood!

we squeeze in the moment, breeze by the apartment of gore, go to the store with a nail and a 2x4 , flip the sign on the door, excuse yourself coz you're poor and ignored so implore to expose the cluttered shore of the strand...

Here is a tale of the runt, in the land of giants
Bearing the brunt of her size and growing defiant
This pint sized gal was a mere 23 feet tall
Compared to others at 30, seemed like nothing at all
She couldn't play sports or join them in...

There are things thant dont efface
Every now n then memories  mirrior you face
I still remember  that doll in pink
Now unattended, unkempt it  will stink
I still remember  that ball with light
With every hit it would glow bright
I still remember  the exchange...

I don't feel very good today,
Can you see it in my eyes?
I'm never off the toilet,
No! it wasn't all the pies.

I have probably caught a bug,
You know, the type that's going around.
I must have caught it at the football,
God! I'm hot, I must cool down.

Modeerf the dragon
lived inside
a mountain
in the cave he was born in
by a waterfall fountain
he snacked on vines
that tasted like wine
hid in safety
from dragon hunters
stayed too long and
grew too large to leave
one day in desperation
he polished a flat rock
into a mirror finish and
saw that his reflection...
