Best Snatch Up Poems

Rodents can be loquacious
That includes your average gerbil
They love to prattle, chat and blather
They really are quite verbal

Hamsters are talkative too
Just as garrulous as can be
With running mouth and wheel to match
They are a sight to see

But I am loath to squander words
Sparing usage is...

*Been posting some heavy stuff lately. Time for a bit of levity.

"Hey babe, you're never gonna believe this. Crab fishing in Alaska has been cancelled for 2023." 
"I don't understand, dear."
"Well, according to the paper, all the crabs have 'left the building.' It's crabs no...

I have no pearls of wisdom for you,
you wouldn’t listen in any event,
I’ll give you no advice,
no beatings will be any good either,
it’s not the gift that you need.

You were there for the casting of the die
but you somehow think you’ll survive.

I won’t tell you...

That Bench

He goes there every day; to that bench in the shade;
Where his shoes have formed small clearings in the gravel;
where his wool sport coat has rubbed smooth the paint.

He goes there every day, to that bench in the shade
where the squirrels eat straight from...

When I asked my wife to marry me, ‘neath a golden moon, 
I said I could not give her the moon and the stars, but, 
“Each special day I will give you a piece of jewelry,” I said, 
Then, jokingly, “When I am gone, you...

The awakening of the dawn like a butterfly busting through the cocoon.
The rhino's thyroid condition was exacerbated as the cheetah conflict 
continued.
As I drank in and tasted the coolness of the water, 
my eyes gazed upon the crocodile's welcoming smile, 
the caption was split apart...

The game of love is not unique
We can play it many ways
So why not try some tongue and cheek
To set a love ablaze

I’ll start and give a big ole’ hug
Represented by an O
And place it center where it’s snug
In Lover’s Tic Tac Toe

You answer with...

We've been riding now, for days
On this dry and dusty plain
Headed to a land, that's never tasted rain
The posse has been thinning out
As men head back to town
So, that just leaves you and me
To track these Outlaws down

Standing on the rim of 
One of God...

The Vikings and Bills, two teams that
share a feat, four trips to the Super
Bowl all ending in defeat.

A feeling of such sadness, that's
hard to put in words, creating deep
emotions, that are violently stirred!

The hope is always next year, we'll
show them who we are, but history
has...

Sixteen hundred full moons ago, RumbleVoice, a giant with a mission, and his mighty spy hawk, Samuel P. were up in the Butter Cup Mountains hunting for a young wild bobcat to bring home to socialize, when Samuel P. started flying around in a circle,...

THE END
When the jaws of death
Snatch up your loved one
The only thoughts
Suitable for the moment
Are ’****! Bloody hell!
She wasn’t even ready yet,
I wasn’t really done with him’
But you can’t cry them out loud
So you just go on and let
Them hot tears flow.

When the claws of...

I had two cousins Mike and Ike who were air heads that stole
using their slippery butterfingers to snatch up anything in sight. 
They thought they were clever smarties, but one crazy night
they were driving and hit a rocky road and slammed into a pole!
It was...

Sometimes, I used to feel,
like the Lord 
had forgotten about me.
Like, me and my stuff
had been put on the back burner,
until I could figure out,
whatever it was...
whatever it was...
whatever it was,
that HE wanted me to see.
And, sometimes it felt like...
whatever lesson that 
was meant for...

In the desert of my mind
Are nomadic dunes of ineptitude.
I traverse these dunes
Seeking words
Like a thirsting man after water.
My search is slow and ponderous
As my feet sink deeply
Into sands of frustration.
Drops of imagination
Fall from my brow
And are absorbed in the same sands.

Cresting a barrier of...
