Best Snotty Nosed Poems
NightscapesLate night summons madmen,
madams, bold streetwalkers,
picking pennies from the gutters
as the merchants close their shutters
and the homeless crouch in doorways
in their rags, against the cold.
Black or white, no compromise,
no colours clothe the empty streets,
as Bobbies tread their lonely beats,
the watchmen rub their crusted eyes

Thats Not My ElephantThats not my Elephant! it just followed me home.
I tried to shake it off, but shes like a dog with a bone.
So i made her feel welcome with balloons and confetti,

Halloween - RepostThe hallowed evening is deafeningly here
Goblins and witches' loud shrieks are near,
Shelled corn raining down our outer wall
Our whimpering dog is cringing in the hall,
Some snotty-nosed kid bangs on the door
A plastic pumpkin for candy wants even more,
The tiny young princess calls out trick or...

Magaga Goo GooPatriotic Americans are disgusted with Trump news every morn,
all shaking their heads in disbelief at the prick who is a thorn.
With such an arrogant mien, his character is one of a pooh bah.
Always thinking he's above the law, as if he's king or maharaja.
Ridiculous is...

A Very Misery ChristmasNo winter postcards of deep snow and bliss
No winter postcards of mistletoe kiss
Winter was cold, winter was tough
Winter was long and we all had it rough
No Father Christmas, no Saint Nicholas
No bright blue, glass baubles, no presents for us
Fantasy Christmas, fantasy tree
We had to...

As a Kid and BeyondAS A KID AND BEYOND
did I ever wonder?
what my upbringing brought for me;
and did it disappoint
or just bring feelings to resurface,
but never sensitivities
of deep down and personal,
and did I really care
of what there was to share,
or did it make me
to have bitter heart,
from...

A Much Younger SantaCan't believe how young and dashing I was
At one time I was even a younger than that
Mom actually had to change my diaper
I know, I know, I'm so sophisticated now
It's beyond people's comprehension
That I was once a snotty nosed little know it all
Full of my...

My five year old eyes open wide as I see the giant mansion dotted with children
