Best Wary Poems


Jan You Wary
The Russians, of course, think its cool
To jump in an icy-cold pool
But I'm not a fool
And made a Mule Rule:
Dive only where warmth greets my tool!...

A Wary Woman
I’d love to say that ‘Crusher’ Webb is one good mate of mine,
but old ‘Crusher’s’ temperamental and can act more like a swine,
and it don’t take much to set him off; that’s when we all show fear, 
so we don’t know how to take him,...

Jan U Wary
The British sky is seldom blue
And love divine is seldom true
But come on, girl!
Give life a whirl
There'll never be another you!...

Ain't no wonder we're baffled about eatin' - ever'thing is taboo.
We're deluged by self-appointed gurus toutin' their points uv view.
Can't they desist and find somethin' more productive to do?
They can eat their tofu and water cress-  I prefer a hearty stew!

The experts can't determine...

Limerick Be Wary
Busty lusty was dusty
Fiesty fairy musty
Along came Flirty
Looking all dirty
Randy Rusty got gusty!...

Wary of Snakes and Possums
Five free range chickens surviving earth’s natural selection...
Spring flowers began to emerge while “Hefei” and hens explored.
Wary of snakes and possums, they moved about with caution.
Hunting, pecking and scratching, together in one accord -

One hen snuck into a pitched tent to lay her lovely eggs.
Behind...

When I am visiting a house
with no cobwebs or dust
I know for a fact
this is not someone to trust;
For if they meticulously clean
every single cranny and nook
then I am sure they examine me
with too discriminating a look.

You see, I myself have a cobweb or two
tucked...

Be Wary Berry
Merrily cherries were chatting with berries on bunches of bushes below;
the cherries were scaring the berries with stories that every new berry should know:

"Beautiful cherries are succulent very so we became fruit of the sky,
but pitiful berries on earth where you tarry cannot please the...

Pig-eye gaze
Twitch-n-twist smiley
Neuroglare scrape

Oilclump wart

Shrug-n-hug troll
Dirtgoat kissy

Battle Wary
I can't stay here...
nightmares, eating me alive.
Living jar, full of demons.
Humanity can't possibly survive.
Finding interactions painful,
pushing me to hide.
I cry often now.
I can't hold anymore inside.
Craving beauty,
I just want to live in art.
Where did the destroyer go?
Did my protective layer depart?
True strength found in weakness,
I...

Wary As One
Wary as one is, but merry nonetheless.

Heavy, once, my heart was but now all is cheery.

I know I have the cherry, though I shall

not tarry too long....

This intensive cat
   — with night-gray fur —
Steps out wary
   — as if the grass
     had turned to tacks…
Alert to find
   — that!
The strange noise 
   — startled!
Breaking a nap!
