Best Undercarriage Poems


Premium Member Love and Marriage - 2024

Oh boy, she was gorgeous and I made mention of bed
She said she really liked me but she won’t until we’re wed
She often said there’s stuff that really ought to be discussed
But I could only think of getting hitched to quench my lust

We did it, we were spouses, and our first dance was real close
I thought that she would realise who wanted who the most
We left our guests to party and I hoped I would impress
And once we were alone I ripped apart her wedding dress

And that was when I wished that we had dallied before marriage
For there and then I found ‘her’ quite extensive undercarriage
‘She’ said, “Why don’t you try it out, I’m sure we will be fine.”
I said, “Why would I play with yours… when I could play with mine?”

Well, ‘she’ looked shocked and what she said caused all my toes to curl
‘She’ looked at me and muttered, “Oh! I thought you were a girl.”
I said, “Are you quite bonkers for you’re talking really weird,
I’m stood here and I’ve got a most extensive ginger beard!”

‘She’ sauntered to the bed and threw me down upon my back
And said, “I’ve got a gift for you and it is never slack.”
‘She’ nipped into the bathroom saying, “You can be the wife.”
‘She’ came back with a sexy smile… and a massive knife!

Premium Member Starting To Feel Jazzy

The heart of a lion 
The soul of a flea
The energy of a gnat
Please do not let this be me

Reaching into my junk drawer
I pick up three items that give me glee
A candy bar wrapper, 
And a playing card with a decorated bee.

Dragons in my undercarriage,
Dolphin party in the sea,
This poem is starting to feel jazzy,
It is lively, and it’s free.

I line up the unicorns,
Who are laughing at my knee.
They ask Trixie to join them,
So she dances away with thee.

Her underling muses
Chip and Dale come running to me.
They are dying to write a poem,
So we line up the junk items three.

Let’s make it funny, says Chip
A cut up we all agree.
But Dale wants a sad poem,
So we begin to disagree.

Trixie's assistants laugh at my consternation
And run away you see,
So this is the end of the poem,
Which made me yell a “whee!”

Premium Member The B-17 and the Me-109

Somewhere over Europe
A B-17 flies
Strafed and damaged
In her enemies skies

The flak has taken
Its toll on the plane
This crew so brave
In this theatre of war campaign

Many hours have passed
With no sight of the channel
Only land ahead
Is it our instrument panel

A shout is heard from the rear of the plane
A Messerschmitt ME-109, beside us flies
We are sitting targets for another kill
The pilot turns his head, as i look into his eyes

He is making a gesture
For us to turn 180 degrees
Do we believe our enemy
But we eventually agree

He continues to fly
Like an escort of question
Were we right to agree
His degree of suggestion

For up ahead we see
The glint of blue water
Our horizon of hope
Are we saved from slaughter

Moments later
As i turn my head again
A wave from the German
As he banks his fighter plane

We are now well over the channel
As we sight the white cliffs of Dover
Our B-17 in struggle
This mission near over

On the runway at Kimbolton
The fire crews stand ready
Will our plane take the landing
Is our undercarriage steady

Touch down we make
As we talk of our flight back
About the German fighter pilot
Who refused to attack

 
    It is now many years later
    For we were lucky, we grew old
    As we assembled on anniversary
    Our story could now be told 

    For he had kept it his secret
    But now we have to say
    Franz Stigler and his German fighter
    Is why we are before you today

    He was scrambled to intercept
    The enemy that we were then
    When he arrived we awaited
    The fate of us men

    When he viewed our plane
    He couldn't believe his eyes
    Why something so shot up 
    Still flew in his skies

    When he returned to base
    In his reports he states
    It went down over the sea
    And sealed our fate

    After all these years
    I am so happy we have met
    We have lived many years
    While our lost colleagues have slept

    I thank you Sir
    For sparing the lives of my crew
    As we stand together for peace
    We salute you


 
 This is a true story from WWII, written by request for Sara Kendrick,
who loves to challenge me, and i thank Sara kindly for the opportunity

About Me

I am a grossly overweight midget 
of later years.  

I have a penchant for funny women, 
the absurd, 
and baked goods.  

I have 826 thousand dollars in the bank 
and a dose of psoriasis. 

My personality is that of a freight train
with two, loose wheels.

I must use bag balm 
on my undercarriage and 
moisturizers on my elbows.  

I burn with barbaric breathing and sweat. 
My reptile heart is that of a porkyitalian lover.
  
I can beat out a double-paradiddle on a snare drum, 
or compose electronic pieces.

My time is best passed writing, 
and romping 
with my 4-legged friends.

If you don't already know, ABOUT ME

BLOG that tells about the author.  This is
parody, BTW.

Sensations

Street-lights golden nuggets on a plane
I shimmer with anticipation
Aircraft dips left like a soaring hawk
Golden eyes zero in on its prey

Aloft and descending turbulence
Undercarriage open like talons
Binocular vision so alert
As screeching rubber thumps the tarmac

Decelerate adrenal glands pump
Undoing buckles my thoughts floating
About casual normality
Within casual catastrophe

We have naturally come so far
Yet I feel so unnatural here
Aircraft mobiles cars cities and things
Overwhelming sophistication

Better to lie in my earthen bed
Feeling the pulse of my heart beating
Better to be the hawk in the sky
Feeling the wind ruffle through my wings

Golden.

I'm a big tree and a vast forest,
I shade the undercarriage,
I'm a kid slash florist.
I live to raid any broken marriage.

This is a stick up, give me the goods,
Wonder, get lost and stolen,
This is a trick yet you hide in the woods.
My technique must be golden.

Leak so i can crush your existence and steal your being,
Why does everyone sprint?
I take everything from anything I'm seeing.
Even as soon as they catch my scent.

I feel huge, it takes two blinks to contain my image,
I play on fields that scare,
I play with real lives and call it scrimmage.
Life is a game of chess, check mate, you stare.


A Glimpse of the Ages

A cool breeze
    like the slightest graze
of the recently passed
flows under the shaded thickness
     of the ancient woods.
  The worn paths,
         sunken below
 the forest floor
   like water forgotten stream beds,
      slide naturally
through this wooded sanctuary.

    Broken decaying trees
rest upon the strong backs
       of the sun reaching ones,
spreading their
    immense girth of leaves
  allowing the barest of  rods of sunlight
to illumin the undercarriage
  of this dense growth.

Stillness presses on me,
making me one
            and alone
with this placid place.
Ambering down the trail,
     knowing what every
touch of movement
   and nuance of the environment means.

In the distance
    all I see is trunks,
like a never-ending
        collection of mirrors
imposing their presence
  upon each other
 barely acknowledging my passing.

Strangers On the Walk

Consider the chance meeting of a man and a dog on the street.
The man smiles and smacks his lips – a calming signal to the dog.
The dog, head down, tail at half mast, wonders what this stranger wants.

The man asks if he may pet the dog and the proud parent says sure, but a little hesitant.
He pauses, the dog strains at the leash.

The man squats and smiles and offers the back of this hand below the eyes of the dog.
No threat, no sudden moves, just soft words
and a quick glance at the undercarriage of the dog to determine the correct greeting.

Good boy...nope, Good girl.
The dog knows a dog lover and a possible friend.

The owner stands straight and proud of his four legged child
and the man sees himself in the eyes of the dog
and knows that he, too, would like to be greeted like this
on the street by a stranger, and clicked at, and lips would smack,
and he would be as calm and loved as the beast.

About gods of timing belts and spark plugs

“Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", most frequently translated as "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". A. Dante, 14th century Italian poet

They sway the power over mere mortals
They drop the words that cannot be appealed
Gods of carjacks are deities, immortals
The voodoo magic over vehicles they wield

Their world is full of strange sounds
“Alignment, ratchet, dolly and exhaust
Lift, mallet, drip-pan” terms are out-of-bounds
To lowly humans who will surely be lost

It’s torque, rotation, caddy, pliers, wrenches
Inspection sticker, undercarriage rust
The noisy drilling on the workshop benches
And wailing, “Fix my car at once or bust!”

Compressor hiss and cannonade of hammer
Struts, piston rings and diagnostic code
The mystery of sensor change glamour
Oh, deftly moves, returning auto to the road

It’s coolant check, brake fluid, fuses, coils
Spark plugs replacement, tire pressure gauge
They know of summer vs winter oils
And best brake pads, domain of the sage

Cars pulled apart, they look so weak and tender
Like bugs without wings that cannot fly
Await repair of the fender-bender
We’ve all been there and can testify

Patched tires, shock absorbers, sockets
The wiper blades, the funnels and headlights 
Big bucks repair our hitting pockets
But while here we have very little rights

Male shadows standing here and there
They look askance, the humbled, quiet bunch
As if infer the process of repair
With facial expressions of a hunch

And while surgery performed, there’s hope abound
For chariots of fire, as before
When gods of auto centers, homebound
Us send at once, by fixing what was sore

Premium Member The Chambermaid

A sign in a Japanese hotel, “Please take advantage of our chambermaid”
Sounds like it could quite possibly involve touching her undercarriage
Steady down, friends
It's only pretend
But on leaving, you should thank her for allowing you backstage

Paper Plane

PAPER PLANE

A project with my small son
After so much paper folding
Sharpening important creases
Anticipation slowly increases
Thumb and forefinger holding
First flight testing has begun

He sees me throw the plane
Into the garden’s warm still air
At first it floats and then dives
A sense of freedom in our lives
What’s a wing without a prayer
Swooping down to crash again

Initial plans were crafted well
Launching to fly into marriage
Reminds me what went wrong
All planes land before too long
Skidding with no undercarriage
Flights suspended as you can tell

Premium Member Life Raft in Amber

When my brother was fading away,
black chimes signaled for the demons to play.
They attacked all sides of my hobbled mind.
Treating the heart like an orphaned marble
They were rabid and had brackish intentions
Hope chipped away like a crowbar to cement.

In a dream, one of them took me into its sky
I clung tight to its undercarriage
begging for it to release me
It promised that it would if I said
that I loved it...I relented
It didn't keep its promise as expected
and we wrecked together.

I coddled a little amber cross.... 
(a field mouse in an owl's greying claw).
I was dismissed into a pillow of tranquility
The demons slowly drifting away...
as did my brother the very next day.

  It originated from the Latin “habitus" meaning 
  appearance.
*The undercarriage of a woman is the pelvic floor, 
  which is a large, layered muscle sling located at 
  the base of the pelvis  ,)

A sign in a Japanese hotel. “You are invited to take advantage
of the chambermaid” sounds like it may involve her undercarriage
Steady down, friends
It's only pretend
But you may want to thank her for allowing you backstage
