High Jinks Poems | Examples

Premium MemberIgor needs a bigger lab IX

Don is the ultimate user
His deals seal you as a loser 
When Trump holds the cards
The lives now in shards
Bear witness he’s an abuser

The Don has a trick to reveal
He’ll dick you and cancel your deal
Like hands on your neck
Trump voids your paycheck
And feels ecstasy when you squeal

If acts are life’s indicator
Don’s a classic woman hater
Though cratered with flab
Trump will pussies grab
As rapist and a dictator

What will show how Don’s dick-brain thinks?
Trump’s thrusts come with lies and high jinks!
Amid this disgust
Some high and non-plussed
Have heads up his rump with what stinks!

Premium MemberThe Latest Soup Scoop


Stop pulling your mischievous high jinks - currently, the wind of change stinks

Winds of change are not always good - they can be grossly misunderstood

Winds of change are just blowing smoke - spouted by a deluded bloke

Don’t believe a word from Blog bullies and blowhards - they won't change their ways

PS encourages creativity – poets CAN post ten per day

I got fed up of snide little digs about people who write poop poems

I am not stuck for turds - I'm saving my witty words for my next book

Premium MemberThe Dance of Jealousy

Daisy danced the wild dance of jealousy 
Her dancing was her revenge weaponry
She did the can-can
To excite her man
Whom she had caught enjoying revelry.

She had been queuing at the bar for drinks
When suddenly Daisy had an instinct 
She turned and what shock
He was in lip-lock
And most certainly enjoying high jinks. 

So she danced, for her man was a loser  
Should have left the alien much sooner 
Her Dear John letter 
Said she'd done better 
And found herself a huge hearted bruiser.

The governor’s up to high jinks
updating state document links;
seems Huckabee Sanders
now no longer panders
to pejorative terms like latinx.

Premium MemberSpring High Jinks

spring high jinx

lusty sunbeams jive
 rowdy clouds do fandangos ~ 
  gusty winds kiss kites

ducklings surf the pond
 fuzzy goslings in high jinx ~
  willow trees hula dance

spring stars waltz the sky
 wink at comets streaking by ~
  corn planting moon sighs

rowdy zephyrs whoosh
 corralling spindrift laces ~
  crazy clouds spiral

shifting clouds speak riddles
 guess the shape of changing clouds  ~
  new green shoots tickled

whirlwind pranks tumble
 hijack dandelion puffs ~
  moonbeams tease midnight

Premium MemberHigh Jinks

I wondered if a poet could be jinxed
   perhaps by switching her inks
perchance a drug to alter her thinks
   or just denying her a full 40 winks...

I thought I'd find out last night
   at or around midnight
But boy, could that lady fight
   bit my hand ~ now I can't write

Friends Come

Friends come; those amiable creatures;
But as offerings, smug-found.
Like bow-tied fawn or pony, proceed
Then to follow us around!

Boys or girls, with what stamps their needs
For such high jinks and horseplay
Are we entrusted. While pledged to
Never set loose; turn away.

That which on our doorstep was first left
To reach out, as it were, for
At the end of a day's free-roaming
Will draw breath there as before.

Tomfoolery and High Jinks

Oh let's do something crazy
Let's go moonbathing at night
and we can knock on doorbells
and then have a rainball fight

Or let's go on a rampage
of destruction of all fear
We'll wreak some anti-havoc
spreading harmony and cheer

People need to drop their worries
go outside and play
a good old game of hide and seek
and we can lead the way

It's time for some tomfoolery
and high jinks to abound
Too many people lose themselves
in troubles so profound

So let's try something crazy
Oh I know what we can do
We'll skip some pebbles 'cross a pond
and climb a tree or two

We'll take your heavy burdens
and just toss them in the air
and then we'll dash through flowery fields
without a single care

Life is getting very short
it's time for boisterous fun
And many will not understand
until their time is done

Tomfoolery and high jinks
are the order of the day
We'll throw in some shenanigans
while laughing all the way

Merry Rudolph

When asked why his nose was so red
Young Rudolph looked flustered and said:
Those elves love high jinks
and spike all my drinks:
The rum tends to go to my head!'

Beware the Coming of the Minx

She’s not averse to forty winks
But afterwards she wakes and blinks
And to her privy corner slinks

As enigmatic as the Sphinx
She sits atop her tray and thinks
Up some mischievous new high jinks

The sound of Mum preparing drinks
Dad washing dishes in the sinks
“So tired of waiting” wail the Kinks

This rings a bell with hungry Minx
Who from her empty food bowl shrinks
As ice in Bombay Sapphires clinks

It’s not the time for forty winks
Young mice frolicking in the pinks
Beware the coming of the Minx!

Premium MemberDear Tapan

Dear Tapan.... 

I find myself hoping that you'll stay a friend
In whatever venue you happen to end
Though demons get high marks in your repertoire
The one who serves God Sir is really the star

The thrill of Saint's insight to me is a blast
And high jinks of demons a boring repast
Success is not virtue but reward of Grace
The goal of my life is a smile on God's face.

For tearing down things is a walk in the park, 
The coddling of evil a big question mark
To understand God is the Saint's only 'biz, '
Rejecting man's pride to give praise to what IS!

Premium MemberShe Wast As Inscrutable As the Sphinx

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

   (She with face inscrutable as the Sphinx.)

      Although she was nay forthright,

         Shakespeare wast somewhat polite,

            But saw through her nefarious high jinks!

The Plumber

There once was a man, a New Yorker
Who was truly a cocky corker
He loved best his wife, and fixing bath pipes
With Bronx accent, a hearty talker

Fifty years he’d labored and toiled
Keeping pipes un-rusted and oiled
When no water drained, the women complained,
“Come fix it!   ‘Cause the floor is now soiled!"

With light in hand he crawled under sinks
Slithered and slid among all those chinks
He worked for the money for his honey
No more teasing or joking high-jinks

Water flowed; it’s time to retire
Move South where old people perspire
Riding on 'trikes with high flying flags
With large baskets for folks to admire

He never thought he'd have such sore bones
"Tho he's always been accident prone
Pedaling by his now startled wife
He's riding through three time zones!
