Local favorite Brian Swinehart
Covington, Ohio's kind heart
does comedy at a cozy coffee shop
with Philippine food in the backdrop
The barista pours out the coffee
her daughter sits out the toffee
as Brian don's a smile
bringing people in for miles
His latest guest (Nicholas De Santo)
an Italian on a quest
from London he came
hoping we can remember his name
+Brian is a friend of mine that does comedy and I do the poetry every third Saturday of the month at our favorite coffee shop North Star coffee station in Piqua, Ohio. He is a traveling comedian that has lived in California and was a backup actor.
Red Skelton, they say,
Gave laughs away every day.
As Gertrude and Heathcliff,
he’d squawk and he’d stare,
Leaving feathers and giggles all over the air.
Henry Winkler was the Fonz on Happy Days.
Mister tough guy and"Ayyy!" was his favorite phrase.
With his leather jacket and girls on his lap, he was the coolest dude.
Now, an old man with a warm, fuzzy, and funny attitude.
Jackie Gleason, known as “the great one,”
When “The Honeymooners” brought lots of fun!
“One of these days...POW! Right in the kisser,”
To his wife, Alice, he'd scream to dismiss her!
Dwayne Johnson known also as the Rock,
is a larger than life man who smiles around the clock.
His movies whether action or comedy are hits but he is humble,
wacky roles, always with humor and banter- and action with not a stumble.
There was a man named Chaplin,
early films he did make happen.
To the world it was just right
that his bum was black and white!
Wild-eyed, wild-haired comic, Phyllis Diller
Here’s why her female fans would cheer her:
“I heard housework just might kill a gal,” she’d pout
And then: “I don’t want to be the first to find out!”
Winnie-the-Pooh, from Hundred Acre Wood,
Love living there, carefree, doing a lot of good,
But his pastime favorite was eating and being funny,
Sitting and slurping globs and globs of delicious honey.
Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka
Seemed sturdy as a *Tonka-
Yet he gave kids minty sugar blades of grass
While fizzy lifting drinks made them rise with gas!

Shrewd, sly and savvy Jack Frost
Paints the world in shining icy ghost,
With his snowy glittering art,
Amidst his peers, plays a bright frosty part.
Rudolph, the leader of Santa's reindeer,
adjusted his nose and gave the all clear
to steer Santa well with his braced flashlight.
But one Christmas Eve, he sneezed during flight!
The Grinch
has habits that make humans flinch.
One is rubbing himself with onions to create his favorite scent,
knowing but not caring it is public torment.
Our old friend Elmer Fudd
thinks he’s quite a stud
points his gun square at Bugs Bunny
‘wascawwy wabbit’ not so funny

There was a tiger named Tony
his passion was for tasty macaroni ~
For some obscure reason, the powers that be
decided bowls of frosted flakes it would be
