Snackables

Would a snack-happy
happy snacker
with a snacky itch to scratch
be a happy snacker
if he snacked a happy snack
such as a happy cracker
or could there be a catch
as it was not enough
healthy happy snacky stuff
and he'd need something to munch
with a much more succulent crunch
a Grannie Smith or Golden Delic'
a happy snack-like pick
happily snackily
should really do the trick

Cracker Jack

One of my friends recently suggested
I write one called “Cracker Jack”
Who better than the cracker himself
Who's wheels have left the track

I've never professed to be poet
In the ilk of Browning and Keats
A rebel, a renegade, an enigma of sorts
Marching to a different beat

A bit of a “cracker” I've always been
Take pride in being off beat
Don't have a choice, it's who I am
Travelling down a different street

Always write in the purest of forms
Simple verse most of the time
Since a very young age, always thought
Of poetry as a needing to rhyme

Forever been one to revel in creativity
Searching new vistas each day
It sure turns my crank and floats my boat
Wouldn't be happy any other way

Thank you my friends for the inspiration
To express what makes me tick
We're all cut from the very same cloth
Till we find a pathway that clicks

Song of The Cracker Butterfly No 4: ABAB

Mountains, and forest, but wetlands, favored,
but what do they know, they're just their pinups.
The whole South to Arizona's, bordered ...
trees and boulders serve their choice of hole-ups.
Cracker Butterflies, wings flapping sounds named,
be protecting domains or mating calls.
Speckled species ruse camouflaged proclaimed,
hangout mid-afternoon, ... plus, if rainfalls.
Twenty of their kind, perched heights notes which kind.
Birds are the death of them, ... Jacamars, lead,
--shared realms. Defense-like poison is defined
as pointless, hence, disguised tactics succeed.
Diet: fruit rot, dung, and tree sap-sweet gum.
Placement perched will measure the life of them.

Ah Nuts-Cracker

I lost the sticks
To play my drum
Missing a fist
So, yes a thumb

Still have a head
Though am real flawed
With a bent lever
That moved my jaw

Missing those things
Is a pet peeve
Since was stepped on
Last Christmas Eve

My friends have faults
Like missing poles
That used to fit
Their hands with holes

Some lost a shoe
And therefore feet
But stand there tall
To meet and greet

The team player
In red gym shorts
Though with no ball 
Still’s a good sport

The fireman’s hose
Is short a spout
But he’s ok
And doesn’t pout

A nutcracker’s job
Is standing tall
Even when broke
From alcohol

Which all began
Last Christmas Eve
When drinks were poured
By Grace and Steve

And someone said
Let’s break some nuts
Which was the launch
For those wingnuts

Coz Leo barked
Hey look up there
High on the shelf
I’ll grab a chair

Grace yelled get down
They’re for display
They don’t crack nuts
Steve joined the fray

Nutcrackers fell
Into a clump
Followed by two
Half tipsy chumps

Steve landed on
His coconut
Yet Leo got
His broken nuts

I'M As the Cracker Jack Box

                            open me up
                       there's a different 
                                prize

                              i meant
                                 line

                            every time

Poppy Corn and Cracker Jack

Poppy Corn, Poppy Corn
Sally has a face forlorn 
Cracker Jack, Cracker Jack
Sally has her smile back

Christmas Cracker

That was a cracker

Pull the other one

I haven't laughed as much

Since last Christmas

Cracker Jack Pop Tarts

You have not had a pop tart until you have had a crackerjack pop tart.
I had never heard of them, but I am game for everything.
What is the difference?

They do a high dive out of the toaster and land on your refrigerator.
Do a mean tango, dancing so hard they put marks in your ice machine.
I want to see this I told her, but at your house.

Oh, no, she said. I will not have them back.
They tore down the chandelier the last time.

Cracker Jack

Popcorn and peanuts
Candy coated to taste sweet
That's called Cracker Jack

Cracker, With Notes

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Cracker


    My roots run quite deep
    crack that whip at the wild cows
    get along doggee


     GINSU-KNIFE    EASTPORT , MAINE    USA 

   What is a "cracker"?   Really.
  Worth a look as to where it started.
  Dont be mislead by many false descriptions.
   It may not be what you think.
   Patrick Smith wrote a great book touching on this.
    "A Land Remembered"

Scrambling Down To Cracker Town

Scrambling down to Cracker Town
I’ll have a Ritz, a salt, a round.
Can I come too? Asked a blue tick hound.
If you promise to not make a sound.

Triscuits followed us all along the way.
Wheat thins so jumpy, they could not stay.
Had no idea what else we might see.
Butter, peanut butter, cheese spread, and me.

Georgia Cracker Who Was a Hacker

a Georgia cracker
who really had been hacker

Jim Horn

Where is your sense of humor
in suspense and very dense?

Animal Cracker Soup

Animal cracker soup
  Full of sugar and goop 
Served it to my playgroup
  When one kid let out a whoop 

The animals had started to grow
  They'd filled the insides of each bowl 
In a flash, all the bowls overflowed
  Then that same kid said, "Watch out below!"

On the floor were a bear and a lion
  Which really set my playgroup to crying 
In a voice deep and low, the bear growled "Hello"
  The kids raced out the door; they were flying

My own feet seemed glued to the ground
  'Till that lion let loose quite a sound 
Next thing I know -- all my kids on my bed
  Peals of laughter and smiles all around

Cracker Jacks

there is a craving
in my heart
an anticipation
that keeps me going
propulses me
to greet each morning
with the same excitement
and childlike hope
as when I'd open
that new box of
Cracker Jacks

Transparent Cracker

my hospitalities
over nobilities
above abilities
belittle me

but

hesitantly yet
ambitiously
you need
to agree

that

speculativly and
for sure most
abstractly
so lets

get

down to earth
and agree that
the moon isn't
made of cheese

so

fabricating by way of 
picassoticulating
stolen blocks of
braque cubes

i'd 

like to fondue fork
that one and dip
it's spanish
flavor in

to

a van Gogh 
american
cheddar
yellow
