Best Walter Poems


Walter
He stood and aimlessly watched the parade of patrons and volunteers that wandered daily past his kennel.  All so familiar, so ordinary.  Just like every other day he mused.  Nothing new.  Nothing special.

Moving to the small crumpled blanket near the back...

A splendid actor was the late Walter Brennan.
There were so many movies and television shows he was in.
One of his characters I would particularly enjoy:
That was when he played grandpa Amos McCoy.

She stares into the casket
open, not what he wanted,
but she did, even more now.
“Stiffer than he’s ever been.”
she snickered, silent, unheard.
“O M F G thirty years;
look at you in your blazer
and that idiotic badge;”
she toasted, raising a glass
of cola and single malt
discovered upon finding
the “mislaid”...

He lived on a boat
That refused to float.

Walter V: a Father's Pride
He comes to his father holding his pet,
“Something’s wrong with Beano, he needs a vet!”

The Father looks down and seeing the frog,
Struggles with words to explain to the sprog.

So he takes a deep breath and starts to explain,
That “Beano will not be in any pain”.

“The...

Great apes are the second most intelligent animals

Next to humans of course except for one of my friends

According to many scientific theories, we evolved from the ape family

Aha, that explains my friend Walter

They follow an extreme social life and express different types of emotions

So does...

Premium Member A Conversation With Walter Mitty
“Azure blue sky dreamer.
Where you bound today of mystifying  days?
Can you hear me through that enigmatic fog?
Your Milky Way incarnate hyper trance phase.”

“Fellow wonderland  adventurer.
I’ve been pole vaulting otherworldly golden orb frontiers.
As I bounce on a trampoline imagination rules.
In cerebral stuntman recess I...

Wally was a warrior
took no crap from no one 
gave no crapt to none
Wally was my warrior,worrier number one

wise from the south side
smart from the walls
Wally was warrior One
no one had more balls

drank ourselves sick sometimes
wouldn't ever take it back
but...

Walter Iv: a New Friend
Walter Bomble was in a bad mood today.
Because only that morning he was moved away
From his cozy home at the foot of the bed; 
In Joey’s room with a view of the shed.
But that wasn’t the only change in store,
For Walter the Bullfrog’s home on...

Here, arrogant Dr. Walter Frieze
Who in idle boast, cured every disease;
From illness, could never go blue
Lies cold, felled by common flu!

Some folks are misguided to sincerely believe
That what they hear on the news is fact, indeed,
I hope this poem will help you, friend, to relieve
That dreadful notion, for the “news” is suspect
Of being more commentary than cold, hard fact,
I have found journalism, rather recently, bought
And,...

Theater of Utter Charm Part 23
sometimes you have to look after your sanity
and try to understand the laws of sequence
where before and after absolutely must preexist
perhaps consciousness cannot access its source
but we're not automata and we've come a long way
through lunacy and habit and clutching
to the point where we have...
