Best Yogi Poems

There once was a snowman named Pipes
who liked breaking stereotypes.
He once wore a Toga     
and in it did Yoga -
Hysterical folk needed wipes.


The children there stood upside down 
for pleasure, and Pipes hid a frown.
“They laugh at my shape -
I’ll make...

THE YOGI BERRA SONG
    IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER
One run behind and I'm at bat, 2 are out,
I'll be damned if I don't get a hit.
I tell the catcher I'll be home in a while,
But he grins at me just for...

The Wandering Yogi 

From city to city, from every  town to town
Catching every smile to smile, every frown to frown.
His allegiance goes to the exalted one, not any nobility nor the crown.
The mysterious venture itself is a compass – forever trailing...

Yogi Bear was named after this famous New York Yankee
Twas Yogi Berra, hearing him speak you never be cranky
A real fun loving soul
With a heart of pure gold
His goofy wit had his teammates forever needing a hanky

A yogi named Haridas, in 1837
provided a powerful demonstration.
He went into a trance.
Was buried alive.
Wax filling his eyes, ears,
mouth and nose.
After guarding the grave
for forty long days.
He was dug up, unharmed and arose.

A hush of silence settles down,
Broken by the soft gurgling waters,
Mellowed by the yogi's muted chants,
Without a soul to hinder his prayer;

Intellect perceptions intact,
Awake to supreme joys of knowledge,
Remains calm in tranquility,
Unhindered by all the worldly lusts;

Attains eternal peace within, 
Karma of knowledge and devotion.

which will make your country happy and proud.
Blood of youth got filled with enthusiasm,
he taught them truth...

I want to find a Boo-Boo 
for my Smokey Bear
So now that you’re aware 
of this just stop your 
staring at me
Please hear my plea
Next time you
talk to Yogi
ask him ‘bout a
Boo-Boo Bear for
Smokey

The forest fires burn
burn, burn, burn, burn
Keep tryin’ to contain them
but those...
