Best Twiddling Your Thumbs Poems


Premium Member Little Boy Lost
Poor Little Boy Lost plays a game of peekaboo
Pretending everything in his world is well
Spoiled was his plan for organizing a coup
and now he hopes none of his friends can tell
that he's been evicted as some had predicted
Biding his time, twiddling his thumbs in a...

The Boar of Dumm - a Jabberwocky Parody
'Twas later in the afternoon

When the work of the day was done:

Many sat waiting for the moon,

Idly twiddling their thumbs.



'Beware the Boar of Dumm, my son!

The eyes that dull, the yawns that tire,

Beware the slowing steps, do run

Or to great things, you'll not aspire.'



He took...

Okay I am going to write my twiddling poems while I am waiting on God
Is that a word? 
I don't care 
I am inventing new words if it doesn't fit me
Why does He make you wait forever?
Does anyone know the answer to that?
What could be...

Premium Member I Live a Limbo At Work
I live in a limbo, wired trance every day,
Hands up in the air at a chair.
Expected to sit, silently screaming inert, 
Eyes closed to professional flare.

My life is in limbo, in this office of joy, 
An odd circus of administration.
With keys tapping a beautiful tap...

   Illusion of free speech

Unfinished
I have yet to walk across the stage
I’ve never journeyed through life unafraid
Bottled up anger, I’ve inhaled all my rage
Still my life resides in the first chapter
I’ve never conquered the courage to turn the page

I’ve never realized my vision, nor obtained my dreams
I settled at...

Premium Member Mastermind
Alone twiddling their thumbs, 
the chaotic mastermind 
sat in eternal quander of why 
they never really had any sort of control
at all;

Undisciplined and oblivious 
ringing in the air like bells 
the mastermind’s thoughts stood clamoring 
as he remained locked in silence;

A safety net of disconnect;
Chaotic...

Through the Fog
The answer came without a clue.
When I finally made it through.
I didn't know there was a question.
I thought it was just a suggestion.

Now I look back through the fog.
Of yesterday's polluted smog.
With no map to find my way.
To a place that I'd want to stay.

The...

The Narrow Squeak 2nd Show Chapter Three
Lots of calculation...... 
goes into the jump 
x=y+5 x e=mc2 
To stop you ending in a lump! 

That's what I am told........... 
It's on the back of the ticket I was sold! 
Well here I go.... 
Ready for the last throw 

High on a hill,...

All the karmic forces came in and settled themselves down upon the fence
As the two parties arrived; with their arms full, of their grounds of defence

The learned judge cleaned his glasses and yawns; he’s seen all this before
As; the jury twiddling their thumbs, adjusting ties,...

Invisible
You’ve been toeing the line
from the onset 
twiddling your thumbs 
while you waited your turn 
keeping your wobbly chin up
even as gloom piles up and
begins to dampen even 
the upper crust 
But then fortune prances in 
magic wand at hand 
to bust wide open the...

The New Enemy
he was looking for a new enemy
for it was the man he hated before 
which defined his very being &
in that respect, there was no other
who could possibly take his place---
he searched far and wide, after the last
fight had come to a close---two
young men with...

Lord
Lord….
Thee….
Guide me
Walk my path
Waiting for my bath
Twiddling my thumbs cause I fear me
Yearning for a hut where all those sounds are tapered shut
Please erase such a gut from such controversial rut running from head to toe like smut

Alone Again
Alone Again



Who will see me where I go
I wander alone in this world I know
Strange faces, places, changing tides
Where will I go
Where will I hide

The sun will rise each day, I'm sure
And fade as darkness comes
But me I walk alone again
Looking down and twiddling my...
