Hickory Poems - Poems about Hickory

Once Upon A Time

Still a child at heart
tho' older are some other parts
and only for a lark
back to my childhood here I hark
I remember a rhyme
in the far reaches of my mind
hickory dickory dock
the mice ran up the clock
the clock struck one
the mouse fell down
luckily the plucky other ducked
shucked and jived
escaped survived
got out alive
and ran away
to live another

Yes, I'm smilng

Yes, I'm smiling wide,
Sunrise blooms in my heart's glow,
Hope dances with light.

Hickory Dickory Dock

The clocktower that we chose to climb

Had ten minutes before it would chime

First up was the winner 

The loser bought dinner 

The outcome was a race against time

Hickory dickory dock,
The mouse wound the clock,
At half past twelve
The clock said it was one
And so the clock was wrong

Hickory dickory dock
The mouse wound the clock,
With each twist it smiled,
Knowing this clock would decide,
When its cheese would arrive!

Hickory dickory dock
The mouse wound the clock,
Gaining

Hickory Dickory Dock
The captain ran up the deck,
When the storm rocked the ship.
The sailors swayed losing grip.

With no one to direct, the ship hit a rock
Into deep waters, it started to sink.
All got drowned before they could wink.

Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse hushed up the clock.
But Cuckoo caught him by his tail,
Now mouse is serving time in jail.
Until once more the clock will chime, 
And with both hands, the march of time
Then mouse might leave his prison cell,
However, only time will tell.
When parole, could be his saviour,
Quick release, for good behaviour.
  

Hickory, Dickory, Dock Parady

Hickory, dickory, dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck nine,
It was past the deadline!
He missed an interview,
the job fell through.
He fell sadly to his knees,
no paycheck – no cheese.

The Rest of Hickory

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one and down he run,
Hickory Dickory dock – Tik Toc,

The end of Hickory Dickory you don’t know,
when up the side of the clock the mouse did go,
He chewed through the wire and started a fire,
To fix that damage, Hickory paid through the nose.

The Vanished Family of Hickory Sticks

A chilled-to-the-bone night in October
During a fog hovering over the hills,
A West Virginia family came up missing
The story still gives neighbors the chills,
Seems their clapboard shack went up
In flames, there was nothing anyone could do.
Six people died in that house, supposedly,
No fragments were found sifting through,
No bones, no hair, not a single remnant
Testifying to the

Hickory Dickory, One O'Clock

I resided in a beautiful old home, on the sunny side of the street;
And I had friendly neighbors, offering hellos whenever we'd meet.

Often when I was off from work, I puttered in my house or garden,
As cool breezy treetop swings, are the select favorites of red robin.

My friends and I would sometimes gather, for backyard

Hickory Dickory
Marion Morrison
crafted a cowboy name
to fan his flame.

His new handle, John Wayne
instantaneously
launched him as a star of
western film fame.

Hickory

Take you no bread nor wine.
Craving will die in time.
For those who endure rime
will know a joy sublime.

Hanging from windswept tree,
know yourself, know your deeds.
Drooping now over scree,
suffer in bitter glee.

Many days without cup.
Many nights without sup.
Riddles and truths unstuck.
Screaming still, take them up.

Cut down from hickory,
rise now in victory.
Feat for the century,
spread now your

Hickory dickory dock, the mouse got an electric shock
Thought he would die but only his ears interlocked
Could hear himself think
His life on the brink
Surgeon said, “try giving your head a good bop”

A Bacon Flavored Poem For My Sweet, Hickory Smoked Friend

you never changed
you have always stayed the same
i just want to thank you
i am not used to the acceptance
days turned into months
months turned into years
though we have never met,
my heart still smiles at your every reply

it would have been nice to feel you in my arms
it would have been nice to taste every end and
