Best Wrapped It Up Poems

I saw a young lady today who had a tattoo that covered up her arm, 
It wrapped it up completely but it only added to her charm. 

The tat she had was bold and it caused me to do a double take, 
Because on her...

I know I am a man
and I fnacy young women here and there,
but I have a big heart,
and I care for wasted things.

Today I had seen a lonesome dress,
hanging on a green wire,
asserted by two clothes pines.
I sat there for an hour looking, and studying...

Born in 1921, somewhere in Wyoming, born to ride wild stock
Started at sixteen, hung up his spurs at 53
Thirty Seven years  of riding broncs and bulls
Made his home aboard outlawed livestock
Riding with broken bones and paying his fees
Night after night, on them old bone...

In our first year of wedded bliss we were very tight on cash,
Some popcorn and a jigsaw puzzle would be our Christmas bash.

All that year when Friday came a date night plan was born,
Together we’d work a jigsaw puzzle and then we’d pop some corn.

As...

Brownie broke her beak today
Purloining potted prawns
Despite Will’s whistled warning words
To only eat from lawns

But  Brownie boldly battered
that toughened  tin top jar
and broke her lovely beak in bits
she’d pushed her peck too far

but wily Will he had a way
to triumph testing trial
so searching...

I have open my heart and free my mind
I become one with us
And one with time
I have connected to life
As it connected to me
Oh my lord I turned 17
Yes a age
Of happiness an joy
R rated movies will be my toy
Curfew is lifted
As I am old
This...

My husband has a running joke
About his perfect gift
And since his birthday’s here, I thought 
That he could use a lift.

A horse is what he claims to want
And we all play along,
For living in Manhattan, well,
A horse does not belong.

And then I had a great...

I 'm dragging it with me everywhere
covered in sandspurs and broken glass
a plastic bag of gold and trash
  Slop is scraping in a line
a snails track, putrid,green with slime
My uncle wrapped it up for me 
starting out when...

Dear all the ones who have hurt me
Did you enjoy it?
Did you feel joy, while I felt pain?
Did you smile, while I frowned?
Did you laugh, while I cried?
Dear all the ones who have hurt me
You were awake, while I slept
You were aware, while I was...

I won't leave you Bluebird 
Forever I will be
Your troubadour in waiting 
Where no one else can see
My heart is yours, it has been
I penned a little note
Then hid it in a fencepost 
So many years ago
It started with an inkling
Resisting, still it grew
I wrote...
