Long Gets my goat Poems

Coming home late from wandering in my sleep
In search of that which goes ahead of chase
i saw the image of my form stretched on my bed
His looks – minus my glasses – through an impish...

When things go wrong,
Seems it sort'a cascades....
You sigh in sad acceptance...
Yet you're always amazed...
And it's seemingly relentless,
Before you know it, you're crazed...

Like losin' a remote,
Sounds like a thing trite,
But search, and search,
and search as I...

Well, here I am.
I never expected it to happen this soon,
but I passed away last weekend.

Stupid horse,
I told them I didn't like horses,
too much power for an animal that gets spooked so easily.
But I blame...

What Gets My Goat - By Noah Kidding

Though I shy away from drink,
an unexpected case
of DT's finds this ace
of spades (also known as the spadille)
bleating heart liberal,

airing how disgrace
full the Tommyknocker of zee prez
doth aspire...

Is there bitterness or anger locked deep in your heart?
You can’t forgive and revenge you seek as doing your part.
Your thoughts are consumed by the hurt incurred,
Your vision now blinded, your judgment blurred.

You want to...

Down these mean streets a man must go
  come shine, come rain, come hail, come snow;
a trenchcoat, gun and cigarette,
  with hardboiled charm and gumshoe sweat.
Pink neon signs light up the place,

He was the Yodelling King of Whitby.
On a calm clear weather day
You could hear his practice yodels
On the cliffs at Robin Hoods bay.

He would stand there at the bar
In his Tyrolean feathered hat
With dark brown...

Behold the humble Cowbird, such an evolutionary quirk.
Somehow nature taught this bird to be a first-rate jerk!
When it comes to low and dirty tricks no other bird can match it;
She lays an egg in her...

Promises, Promises...boldy broken
I spite these words when hastily spoken
The act pledged is almost never the issue
  it's the scanning of priorties...somehow they missed you!!
You would never have held breath and waited
  But the...

For several years I've been a raftsman every summer,
      ferrying herds and noisy folks across this gray river

Evidently Voting's Trivial
By Franklin Price
9/2/2016

Evidently voting's trivial
I discovered so today
Learned from my on line trivia
This is what it had to say

Of the U.S. Population
That are qualified to vote
Only 66% are registered
This answer really gets my...

Well and This Feeling Inside can't be denied
Although you're gone my love for you goes on
All my friends say find another but how can I 
Give my love to another when there just might be

I gave my neighbor a poinsettia plant as a gift
At Christmas two years ago, but now I am miffed!
His apartment is right next door to mine.
The gorgeous red blooms were just divine.

Now he still has...

I know my Damsel waits for me
Perhaps chained to some balcony 
If I could only find the Key
I could set her free

The castle walls are high, I hear
Guarded by some guys, I fear
How to get...

Many things annoy me 
fools are top of the list 
you know when they make
same mistakes time and again

Or  spout utter rubbish
just for something to say
no meaning or purpose
just verbal diarrhoea

Injustice of any form

Dexterity, the fluid ease of two-a-penny vamps,
Their fingers locked as vices, seize the stomach cramps,
Abruptly tug and lobster squeeze the strands of flesh inside,
Felled down upon the scabrous knees with tongue and muscle tied.

Knot that...

Rising, if the sun prides making high noons,
I’ve often turned life’s winters unto Junes.

What if my pen fetches no stars at first?
It knows to fight back, bargain fair fortunes.

Getting best from pen oft gets people’s...

(a response to a provocative post)

Your voyeuristic anal post
Has got me choking on my toast
I should have better things to do
Than commenting on sex and poo
Whilst everybody likes a joke
‘Tis somewhat niche, the anal poke

Promises were made when you sought my vote
I swallowed your lies and it gets my goat
The changes you vowed did not come to pass
Where are those tax breaks for the middle class?

Civilisation's got me down
taking me to the tail of my tether
driving me round the bend
I'm not going to stick it out
to see where it will end
I'll do my best to regress
back to the stone age

Everywhere the white man put his foot
unerringly on unwary locals he stepped
'til they became downtrodden
unable their customs to accept
physically mentally financially
from top to toe stern to stem
to his own advantage
he used abused and exploited them

The Old Maid Gets a Goat

By Elton Camp

Miss Prunella found it too hard
To continue to mow her yard

For a solution, she asked all around
“Buy a goat,” was the advice she found

They said, “It’ll keep your...

I’ve never been what you’d call outspoken; 
my approach is to hang back and take note.
Perceiving injustice my heart cried, “Quit!”
Fearful, I lingered, silence unbroken.
Unwilling, my voice stayed stuck in my throat -
apathetic, reluctant, unfit.

Insults...
