Best Snoozed Poems

As the 
story
goes...

A
pesky
fly, 
came buzzing by
to rest and munch
and eat his lunch
and have some fun
on the hound dog's 
nose.

The old dog
snoozed 
without a clue
in the noontime heat
of the August
sun.

He
napped
awhile
by piles of leaves
in dappled shade
of the apple tree,
where an apple fell
and the flies said "yum"
and the...

My daughter had been sickly for a time
The flu, they said, her health will shortly climb
A few days later came the call we dread
I'll ne’er forget the words the doctor said:

"We got your daughter's blood work back today.
I'm not sure there is any easy way
To...

Snow White took an unladylike bite
of a big red apple polished bright
	she snoozed quite a while
	he kissed her with guile
and they shared an afternoon delight...

The sultry night dispelled the light warm breeze,
As he snoozed on the hot sand of the beach:
She smiled and giggled, a dance of a tease,
Till she flew up quite far beyond his reach.

          He moaned; desire...

At the final stroking of saint Halloween eve, it seems not so long ago,
That my trusty SUV, transport vehicle unceremoniously broke down,
Right outside the local pet cemetery, what a marvelous place to
Spend the spookiest night of the year, changing a flat tire right next
Door to...

He was the last of his kind and it was known.

Some dated him one hundred years and he had style.

Christmas was his time and the rest of the year he felt nothing.

But Thanksgiving came and some...

Another Round Bartender 


Today I went out for a cruise
By accident came cross some booze
Said hay sir partner
Fell off the counter
Yelled bring me ten more and snoozed

Yesterday, I happened upon a quaint, old-time country store.
I felt I was reliving my youth as I trod its squeaky wooden floor!
The sights and smells were familiar when I entered the door.
Memories flooded my soul as I gazed upon those things of yore!

A glowing pot-bellied...

A possum fell in love with a 'coon
And they spooned by the light of the moon
In pet igloo they snoozed
cause the cat took a cruise,
they hoped he wouldn’t come home too soon!

Well, Ole Blackie the cat was real fat
So, his pet food he shared “How...

I’m tired and I just can’t stop yawning
It’s stupid o’clock in the bloody morning

We will just have to wait and see
If it’s too late to be writing poetry?

I really need some divine intervention
perhaps an elixir of lyrical inspiration

I drifted and snoozed and finally slumped
and only...

I remember it was this day 21st of June 
I sauntered into a famous furniture mart.
They have developed a hotel type room. 
They offer the customers a unique feel.
 
With advance free booking for two hours
To relax and test a mattress in a bed room,
The...

You wait for me
In the dark
To many eyes
They cover me

I wait till day
To go your way
Hoping your asleep

You lay still
Await my move
I approach
Hoping you snoozed

I hold my breath
But your to quick
You strike so fast
Your poisonous

Why did I go
I should have paused
I knew you were there
After...

When I sit down to watch the news, 
I am always determined not to snooze. 

At my age not much time in earth to lose,
To waste at all in an easy chair snooze. 

Forever about oil spills on Fox news,
I sense myself falling into a...

I missed the morning wake-up call
The clock alarm, I snoozed right through
I missed the bus rolling past the mall,
that was to take me to my job interview

Out of sync,
out of step with time
Not in rhythm,
stuttering on the rhyme

I missed the one working elevator
taking me up...
