Libbing Poems | Examples


Premium MemberLoves at risk on other days

Love is at risk on other days.
When expectation 
flags to stale bread.
When hearts 
steal a glance 
before eyes are read.
For love seeks no script, no stage, no cue,
It's better ad-libbing than being spoon-fed.
For the dullness of routine settles as dust.
when tomorrow ups, 
and leaves the room,
hoping for better 
times ahead,
on other days.

Curly and Shemp

*Jerome Lester Horwitz,
often dimmer than your wits,
famously known as Curly Howard, one of the three stooges,
his slapstick comedy split our sober from laughter like being in centrifuges.

*Samuel Horwitz,
a mind filled crackers, no ritz,
Lithuanian Jewish mom says "Sam" with her accent came out "Shemp",
like the original three, ad-libbing and wisecracks, **filled baby bro's shoes as his temp.

*Five brothers; Irving, Benjamin, Samuel (Shmuel), Moses (Moe), Jerome (Curly)
**Curly's ill-fated stroke caused Shemp to return as his original stooge self or Moe and Larry comedy series would have ended.

Church

I would be her doormat
and steeple. Her pew and pulpit.
Rap sermonically with it.
Worshipping all of it
Ad libbing 
a little
salvation on the side
Sinning way past Sunday
Hoping one day
I might see heaven
through earthly eyes
I don't even sing but
I'd be on that My, my, my
Now turn to your neighbor
and make it plain
She is praiseworthy
and worthy to be 
forgiven for what
 we are about
to partake in

Who's Line Is It, Anyway?

"Welcome to Who's Line Is It Anyway?" is the opening
A show that was first shown on the British Tele...
Drew Carey brought it for the U S to see
Now in reruns, a MUST WATCH for me.

If you've ever done any ad libbing
You'll know how hard it can be...
The comics of this show are so good at it
I don't know why they took it off TV.

The make fun of every kind of situation
From President's Press to goofy songs...
And with the cast they assembled
The show could do no wrong.

Now I can only watch the reruns
But they still make me laugh with their "Ho Downs"...
When I watch them ad lib everything
You know they're just a bunch of clowns.

Ryan, Colin, and Wayne were the regulars
With a different one mixed into the cast...
For 30 minutes you couldn't beat them
With laughs that last and last.

The reruns are on the comedy channel
If you ever want to take a peek...
11 PM Central is the time they're on
I don't miss, because I'm glued to my seat!
