Chomp At The Bit Poems | Examples


Young People

Written By:  D. Collins 6/4/24



Please wake up and open your eyes.
To a man my age abortion doesn't apply.
Confederates outlawed it because they lost the war.
The sons they lost somehow had to be restored.



Young People, are you listening?  It's directed at you.
You're right back in it, so it ain't nothing new.
They will chomp at the bit until nothing is left.
Through the "YouTube" phase the whole lot of you slept.



You won't know it until you have lost your vote.
Which is on the agenda of the Supreme Court.
Young People, pay attention, it is in the mix.
Get out and handle your business on November 5th.

Stick With It

Stick With It


			The going can get tough
			And life itself is rough
			Don’t chomp at the bit
			Stick with it

			The world can be mean
			A lot of changes in the scene
			Don’t chomp at the bit
			Stick with it

			Prayers are never heard
			People are absurd
			Don’t chomp at the bit
			Stick with it

			You get no more than yes
			At the why’s you have to guess
			Don’t chomp at the bit
			Stick with it

			In life you just don’t quit
			On the sidelines, please don’t sit
			Don’t chomp at the bit
			Stick with it

			Life has twists and turns
			And we have to be concerned
			Don’t chomp at the bit
			Stick with it

I Pleaded the Fifth

There's a story from Dixon
About some ole drunk
Who came in the courtroom
Drunk as a skunk

When asked by the judge
Sir how do you plea
He pulled out a 5th 
And said this ones on me

Unsure what he meant
The judge threw him in jail
Without that ole bottle
Without chance of bail

When his attorney asked him
Why cause such a rift
He simply stated
I pleaded the fifth

When word of the meaning
Got back to the judge
He released him the same day
It caused such a buzz

All the people in town 
Still chomp at the bit
To tell the story of Barney
And how he pleaded the fifth

Unsure what he meant
The judge threw him in jail
Without that ole bottle
Without chance of bail

When his attorney asked him
Why cause such a rift
He simply stated
I pleaded the fifth

The day Barney died
The judge came to grieve
Said here you go Barney
This ones on me

So if you pass through Dixon
Or just stop for a bit
You'll hear the story of Barney
And how he pleaded the fifth

When the judge found it funny
He chose to acquit 
And old Barney won 
When he pleaded the fifth

when a table for one scares you
or one menu has no allure
i'll be your ‘soup de jour’ 

when you have worries
and life stresses you out
when friends don’t understand
and you chomp at the bit
i’m your ear ‘no bout adout it’

or for a pause your self-worth
if your mirrors lie
points out an unlike
i'll fix your psyche

if  ever you're lonely

if you need arms that hold 
and lips to lock on too
