Best Whiz Poems
Gee Whiz
I ate a sandwich made of wurst
with four large beers to quench my thirst
because my clothing was of worsted
I was extremely hot and really thirsted
I drank some more and nearly bursted
I ran to the john to relieve my pain
I had to wait for I wasn't firsted
when it was free I hurriedly ran
the whiz came out like heavy rain
after relief I repeated the act
and then went home for another snack

Whiz-bang the Frog
Whiz-bang the frog
And Toodles the dragonfly
Sit by the pond
Watching the caddisflies
They sing La Ti Da!
They sing Fa La La!
And then Wah-Wah Woo!
A chorus of Doo Wappa Doo!
They sing with the zebra fish,
Under the moon,
And buzz with the skeeters,
Staying in tune.
Knats strum the reeds
Like beats on a bass,
The crickets chirp in
With tunes from the knotgrass.
Damselflies, water bugs
Harmonize a tone poem
And hum serenades
In drowsy overtones.
Skater bugs scat
All over the pond
While Whiz-bang and Toodles
Lead the pond sing-a-long.

According to www.Positive Words that Start with "W," whiz-bang is one word.
They had a whiz-bang chatter this morning.
A grandma grandson yackety-yak
Chatty Chat Chat Smile Laugh Laugh
On Facetime, an I-phone application
It was waggery talk
Mischievous but harmless
Nothing offensive was said
It brought a calm to both parties
The FaceTime concept less intimidating than I thought
At first it had bewildered and perplexed us
Grandma did not want to try it until this morning
Now she says “Who shall we call next?”
Used to be a whiz at chess way back when
Not a world class player but enjoyed myself, no end
Losing wasn't an option
That proved a problem
Had to be restrained, d'ya know what I'm sayin'?
Goofy
Old Goofy surely knew the score,
Dumb and dumber maybe more,
Staggered about with Mickey Mouse,
Thought old Donald was a grouch.
But we loved a dummy sure.
Black Pete would give Goofy a slap,
The Beagle boys joined eyebrows at,
Mickey handled them bad chaps,
And Goofy walked with glory,
Goofy looked more like a dog,
And Pluto never looked agog,
Both were happy as a frog,
Dog to dog no fighting,
Shucks said Goofy at the fair,
“I plumb fergot to comb me hair,”
“Couldn’t find it anywhere” ,
Uncombed now is the fashion,
Dumber was an dumber is,
A funny guy, or dog it is.
With Goofy, everywhere.

Many questions come in life, some cut like a knife.
If had a crystal ball,
I would know who to call.
When young we know it all, maybe we should just hold our doll.
Middle age was our working days,
I feel like I was living in a maze.
Then came marriage, with all the baggage.
If had a crystal ball,
I might not feel so small.
Everywhere there are kids,
time flies by like a whiz.
Now in old age,
I have been let out of my cage.
Just like a bird soaring,
now I am roaring.

Feeding a child with what he knows already !
Hasn't this been in many good schools steady?
A child finds it fine acting unconcernedly,
Teacher is sure it's time to be unfriendly,
The child soon humming tunes or shuffling his feet
Wanting to another chap in mischief beat...
All these right under a teacher's sorry nose
With his bulging bag hitting another close.
If teacher flogs child as good as the sacked!
He should have the lips of tasted French wine smacked!
A child who could answer his cruellest questions
And where he had messed up made suggestions.

The Geo-Whiz
It is my second day in high school and I had signed up for Geography.
Nearing the end, our teacher gave a simple pop quiz test
... guessing that she was gauging us. She said to get out
our pens and paper and list down the alphabet's on the
left side of our paper.
She stands next to the classroom globe pointing at it and told us to write down any place on there that we may know about, except Hawaii, then write our answers to the corresponding alphabets on our list.
I live out in the country, far from the village high school.
We have no electricity but an AM transistor radio, basically,
it's entertainment for the adults. Now, that left us kids to
do whatnots. Mines was reading ... comics to encyclopedias.
(The completed tests were turned in, graded, and returned.)
Marked in red, she gave me 99% and an A.
The lunch bell rang and I went to her desk and said that she made an error and that she had crossed out my 'O' and replaced it with an 'I'.
I told her, "I did not write about a country but about a city in
Algeria that is larger than Honolulu." After showing her that
place on the globe, she changed my grade to 100% and an A+.
In regards to that correction, just add 'ran' to those alphabets to know what had occurred.

A Math Whiz! A veritable Einstein!
Quarky and quirky, a tangent his Shrine
He never combed his hair
His sockless feet were bare
Experts wondered: Would this guy's stars align?
Used to be a whiz at chess way back when
Not a world class player but enjoyed myself, no end
Losing wasn't an option
That proved a problem
Had to be restrained, d'ya know what I'm sayin'?
What are you up to?
You

Our inventions long ago surpassed the wheel and fire
paper, compass, printing press, penicillin, rubber tire
vaccines, light bulbs, electricity, radio, and colored tv
rockets, air conditioning, fiber optics, printers 3-D
we always think everything ever invented already is.
Until someone proves us wrong, usually a kid with Whiz.
You did a whiz bang job honey
An expert could not have done better
Thanks Dad, Kathy said
But I am an expert
That’s why I have doctor in front of my name
And the hospital pays me to do this surgery
I studied all night long.
I think I aced my math test.
Numbers dancing in my head.
