Giggle Poems

Your counter is my hunting ground
But you get mad and pull me down.

              Try leaving that baloney out again.

A virile young lass and her beau
Sought to share their true love in a show
They covered their faces, and hid all the places
Where cameras would film status quo

Dear Editor or Shreditor
by Michael R. Burch

Dear Ed: I don’t understand why
you will publish this other guy—
when I’m brilliant, devoted,
one hell of a poet!
Yet you publish Anonymous. Fie!

Fie! A pox on your head if you favor
this poet who’s dubious, unsavor-
y,...Read More

Dear stranger it's odd to call you that but you are one to me at least. See I don't remember you very well.  Only heard stories about you the last twenty-four years now.  Most of the stories make...Read More

I want to play but you say "shoo!"
So I left something in your shoe.

           I thought everyone liked tootsie rolls.

I bolted to a public loo
Dyin for a numeroux 2
After smiles about my walk
And an unwillingness to talk

For fear of the warm and runny
It really wasn't funny
Couldn’t get admittance
After paying my remittance

So with exploding eyes I steamed
For hours, or so...Read More

It was an up and down night
We could hear them running up and down
The stairs outside our bedroom door
Why do they call it a slumber party? My husband groused.
None of them are slumbering.

Some might have been.
It was hard to tell....Read More

It’s a new year;
In its second month;
It’s a new season;
A love month;
Filled with strawberries, red roses, honey, laughter & warmth.
Where are you?

You are beautiful;
I just love been cuddled by you;
It feels so peaceful been in you mist;
You are heart fulfilling...Read More

The Sandman woke me up late last night.
I rocketed myself from the pillows.
Seeing him I groaned,
and slid back beneath the hood of blankets

He walked across the bedspread;
Knocked on my forehead with his cane.
With gritted teeth I sat up straight.
I explained...Read More

Seem so simple, trivial these books but aren't.
Firstly, humans are picture people. Always been so.
Young minds forming memory, cognition.
Before kids can read, they can conceive images.
Just not speech or actual words yet.
Feelings, however, do register.
And mirrors do stump babies for...Read More

Among our three dogs of mongrel breed
that mingle well with kittens 
in their jubilant mood
our African birds give us delight
cheering us while in their cage, verily secured.

Through their guarding prowess
our dogs keep us physically protected
while barking unceasingly 
signaling presence of...Read More

There once was a dog who could fly
But only when fed apple pie.
So we added honey
And he became runny,
Then morphed into a pet housefly....Read More

Satiny paw pads tap my cheek
and I awake to the tickle of
whiskers upon my nose.
With another morning begun,
a lulling purr produces a giggle
and I open my eyes to my furry friend.

Breakfast is a matter of egg-sharing;
but she prefers a little...Read More

I watched as you toddled, giggled and played
dancing around with the new friends you made
crying for plasters when you grazed your knee
my little angel- the whole world to me
as you grew older I saw something had changed
prayed you would ask...Read More

There once was a hot-tempered fellow
Who fell into a vat of jell-o.
Where he chilled through the night
And imagine the fright,
When shipped to a luncheon in Oslo....Read More

On a very stormy day,
During summer holiday,
Three little friends 
got together to spend
A day in-doors,
To while away their time!
They said they would write
 the story of their lives.
And they would call
Their life story
An Autobiography!

Said one with a doubt
Rubbing his red...Read More

There once was a salesman from Nice
Who'd soak all his work clothes in grease.
He would slide through town
With nary a frown,
Til someone would call the police....Read More

The Strange Truces of King Arthur
by Michael R. Burch

Artur took Cabal, his hound,
and Carwennan, his knife,
and his sword forged by Wayland
and Merlyn, his falcon,
and, saying goodbye to his sons and his wife,
he strode to the Table Rounde.

“Here is my spear,...Read More

Hearty laughter of blissful ripple

Freely causing bursting of dimple

He tickles with delight

Chasing in wheel chair’s might...

My special child’s joy*: greatly simple.

Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright...Read More

What on God's green earth is an enigma
Does it really have anything to do with ninjas
Is it Asian in nature
How far back is it traced
Maybe it's got something to do with my charisma

Toilet paper with teddy bears!
Bought by rich women with other wares.
Sold initially at world's fairs.
Amid joyous laughter in the airs.
Some people looked with ridiculous stares.
Such nonsense found at world's fairs!
Soon they will be coloring apples and pears

Screaming red, green with blotchy blue,
What it says I have not a clue,
Imagination! call it art,
If you have some then get a start!
Is it woman with child in arm?
Or some cattle in country farm?
warring soldier with loaded gun?
The guessing game...Read More

It’s hot in the car 
squashed beside my brother and sister,
I can’t breathe open the window
no, they giggle and whisper.

We arrive at the horse stables
I am fearful I begin to cry,
The horses are too big
my sister tells me don’t be...Read More

my heart smiles with you

when I see you smile my heart smiles also
when I hear your laughter I harmonize with you
when I see you sleeping I wonder if you dream
when I see you waking up my heart does also
