Best Take After Poems

Corona Virus, Corona Virus, that is all we hear!
You turn on the television, it's Corona Virus on the news!

The commercials come on it's Corona Virus " We Are One"!
You turn on the radio, I give you one guess, YOU GOT IT!
Say NO MORE TO THE...

You meet and shake hands
Things seem fine, real grand

You're married; so are they
You all work for your pay
He's a dentist; she's in social work
Professionals, not lowly clerks  

Then you notice their kids. They're strange, a bit weird
One wakes up after noon; another has a...

You’re certainly missing out
Whilst you’re fooling about
And you’re swimming in doubt
So I shall certainly you out-rout
I’d advise you to be on the lookout
For I’m your rival, far more worthy a scout
Take heed or you’ll end up looking like a lout
All I can tell you for...

Hattie gladly had a fatty patty.
If a bad fatty patty had Hattie,
That fatty patty would’ve made Hattie batty;
But, Hattie had a rad fatty patty!
The fad-clad Hattie is also a caddy.
“And gladly,” chatted Hattie, “I take after daddy.”
Hattie’s daddy, Mattie, was a caddy as a laddie.
But...

That's my dad for you... getting his hands deep into the knitty-gritty, when most others would just back off a safe distance away saying, "No thanks! Maybe when Armageddon comes a'knocking we can talk religion, but right now I'm in the middle of favorite show...

Opening of Star Trek . . .

"Space . . . the final frontier . . . 
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
Its five year mission :
To explore strange new worlds . . .
To seek out new life; new civilizations . . .

Forgive all my attempts
To make you a magician
Coming to you in dozens of time 
Like a musician and an artisan
At times like a comedian.
A true art of chameleon in religion clothing
Approaching you only for assistance
Never making a remittance but
always giving you the remnant
Even on that...

I am an opsemath and proud so to be
in a search for new learning I'd like a degree,
Knowledge is power so my thinking is plain
that learning's like fish; it's food for the brain,
I like to do crosswords and read lots of books
I'm quite antisocial I...

They Caught Me Young


The first cut is a cut so deep-
Internalising this impression
Has made me stir and creep
With invariable precision!

Great Writers caught me young
Whilst an exploring youth.
Leaning on the sublimely tongue
Exorcised my being uncouth!

Teachers, too, were adept or apt
For immersing head in writ
Could I’ve been...

Humans shaming us with deeds vile as any satanic rite
Lumps of flesh dumped in alleys under cover of darkness
Blessed not to know life, spared a sorry plight
From biological parents who met to sate compelling desires of the flesh

Irresponsibility and weakness combining to abandon fruits of...

My Family.

My dad he is a champion
the greatest in his craft.
My mam is soft and gentle
and some times she is daft.
And i look at all the things we've done
the places we have been.
Dad's favourite colours red,
and my mam's was always green.
My brothers tuff and tumble,
my...

And so it begins … my crew will over treat themselves to ample chocolate for I have just stuffed our pantry sweetly-full again:

No one will know why the stocked, offered sweets, meant to last 
about a week were otherwise offed before two full days passed;

All...

What did I do,
To be in your life,
What did I do,
To have nothing go right,

What did I do,
For my thoughts to think twice,
Am I that bad of a person,
To stay to myself,

Maybe it's better for all of us,
Wouldn't seem to cause all the fights,
What did...

Golden sky
Your beauty is beyond admiration
Trying to comprehend your mysteries
Is far beyond my capacity
How vast is your territory
How magnificent is your glory
Your design captures me
How do I keep my eyes away from you
How can my heart not throb
Do you take after your master
Not so I...

something in the air called loneliness
makes me do things that are disguised 
as outlets
my heart does the thinking for my brain
and the brain does the beating for my
heart
thinking that it is all a recipe for renovation
is actually a blueprint for surefire disaster
i laugh at my...
