Best Yankee Poems

Now picture this little scene if you can
On our wedding night, a little humour I had planned
Came into the room looking svelte
Wearing only a Yankee cap and a belt
Needless to say it broke the ice and the night turned out grand...

I'm a Yankee Drooling Senior
Trousers pulled up nipple high
Poop stains on my shirt and in my hair
Happy but I don't know why

Got to go to see my doctor
Really painful when I pee
All you people hear me farting
Better hide the children
Cause I am about to let...

Who’s pitching tonight?
Him? – Oh he’ll do alright
His curveball’s so tight
Yankee Fan

Be it Clemens, Mussina or Meyers
Pettitte, Rivera, Villone
He’s willing to bet on his pitcher
Especially if pitching at home

Jeater – now he’s really something
And A Rod – no equal is found
They cover the left in...

The spirits come for a late night ethereal visit
the little girl announces her presence

Breath in Breath out
there is nothing to forgive
Your pain is validation you still live

With that... all sense of hearing dissapears 
next comes paralysis with its icy grip, breath chocked by irrational fear
Now...

Yankee Doodle went to Maine
Riding on a snail.
By the time he reached Bangor,
He was old and frail!...

I stared at all the jerseys
Worn by Yogi, Mickey, Lou,
The Babe and Derek Jeter,
Thurman Munson, Roger, too…

And I realized all these Yankees,
Those alive and those who’ve died,
Wore those uniforms, no matter when,
With dignity and pride.

For so many baseball players,
Playing ball was all they knew.
They were...

blowing balloons signaling 158 years since Appomattox
(Alternately titled always look on the bright side of life)

Armageddon would be morbidly amazing,
   concluding (reign of *****Sapiens)
   fascinating albeit simultaneously catastrophic boon
dog gull to accompany

Having no colour honour or even humour
such a shame on you 
liking glamour honour and favour just for weddings
and there the colourist painters
anaemic thoughts let us not be paralysed by our difference
like in the aeroplanes above
we do both now travel 
and dream of the Broadway...

Grant this civil yankee to doodle till Lee gets blue in the face 

blowing 99 red balloons April 9th, 2023
will signal 158 years since Appomattox
plus what would have been ninety sixth birth 
of the late Boyce Brandon Harris,
whereby yours truly the biological byproduct
when secular parents...

Yankee Doodle
had a poodle,
and its name was Tony.
He fed this dog on fish and chips
and lots of macaroni.

Yankee Doodle
lacks a poodle.
Now he has a terrier.
Every day it learns new tricks.
The more it learns, the merrier....

Early Snow in Yankee Land

By Elton Camp

How glad I am to live in the Sunny South
Though I must hear, “Well shut my mouth.”

“Youse guys” have an early start this fall
October snow has knocked out power & all

With heavy, wet snow and gusting wind
Limbs have fallen...

I'm a Yankee Drooling Senior
Trousers pulled up nipple high
Food stains on my shirt and in my hair
Happy but I don't know why

Got to see my family doctor
Really painful when I pee
All you people hear me farting
Better hide the children
Cause I am about to let one...

Yankee Doodle Dandy

It’s where I’ve fallen and where I lay.
Ashes to ashes, cradle to grave,
Where drums roll and the fife played. 

Where the bell tolls, it tolls for me.
Dust to dust pray tell, “It’s Liberty!—
It’s Yankee Doodle dandy.”

It’s where I lie and where I’ll be
When...
