Legless Poems | Examples


LEGLESS

LEGLESS.

A giraffe and another giraffe
Drank a whole load of booze for a laugh.
When they got to the dregs
It had gone to their legs.
They were helped from the bar by the staff.

Stoking a burnt out fire to rekindle the flame, is like riding a legless horse.

I had a dog once
But one day it went missing,
It didn't have legs

Legless Reptile

The Legless Reptile 
The ruin made of stones ended up a home, rock by rock rebuilt 
on a hillside overlooking a valley of gentle dreams and orchids 
 so rare they only grow here. The man of the house had 
a boa constrictor, in the basement, he preferred its company
it was quiet and curled up most of the time. He fed it rabbits,
chicken and occasionally - near Christmas- a life goat or two.
 Often, when there nothing on the TV, he went down to visit 
his friend in the basement and stroked its firm muscular body.

 The man was not seen, people went to his house, perhaps he 
was ill, they found a hungry snake, which was given to the zoo,
 the man had disappeared, maybe he would return some day.
The house, left empty fell into decay and the roof blew off 
a stormy day and water reduced the house to a ruin, which 
proves a boa constrictor knows nothing about companionship.

When did
the lizard
become a snake-
the ring links the end of
the tale.
