Long Hot cross Poems

My bestie blind dated big Humpty
His hairstyle resembled Don Trumpty
He was constantly rude
Foul mouthed and so crude
No wonder she soon ditched the numpty!

10/15/18


Your bestie's blind date was a weird one
An hour of boredom and she...

He left behind symbols of the torture to which He was subjected 
To remind us of his sacrifice 
With the belief that they will suffice 
What symbols are these you...

...Baum’s men were caught in a hot cross-fire,
many quickly were sent to the grave,
their Indian allies wisely pulled out,
seeing no victory to be had that day.

The militia just kept pushing closer,
and destroyed the Hessian powder...

Another Easter spent
feasting on Jelly Bean Martinis,
sculpting butter lambs
with Nana’s mastiff Escort
snoring by tabletop fire.

Aunt Bea smoked lemongrass,
shading wooden eggs 
with Dappled Willow shrubs.

A whimsical Slovakian cousin
suggested we whip each other with willow rods,
sprinkle ice-choked...

Miss Velociraptor knew she was scary,
she’d be rich if for each scream she had a penny.

Grandad says that Easter isn’t funny
You won’t find him at parties
Dressed up as the Easter bunny
He’ll not be scoffing chocolate eggs
Or anything like that
He’ll be putting on his Sunday best
And dusting off his hat
For Grandad...

The Easter Bunny 
 
Easter Eggs, in the shops galore, 
Buy just one and you’ll want lots more. 
One for Mum and one for Dad 
And all the children, that’s not bad.

When I see a cross
On a hot cross bun
It reminds me of god's love
And all that he has done.

He sent His Son Lord Jesus
To die upon a tree
And took upon Himself my sin
So I could...

Jack and Jill have just arrived.

Came to greet them and high-fived

Found a spider in her whey.
Even though ‘twas itsy-bitsy,
Humpty Dumpty saved...

Hot Cross Bun
(Now figure out that title)

In poetry will we finally reach a phase
When all of our poems truly amaze
Ourselves and others reading them
In front of fireplace when light is dim.

An old Abe sure you...

It was as if all vengeance 
was set to touch down here 
upon the blazing waters
of the bay. The air turning
fiery red and a big sun burning 
through into the sealed
catacombs of the head.

Well he's had quite a few you know

My grandson’s in the band this year;
He’s playing the trombone.
We wondered how he’d handle it
Or get those deep notes blown.

The instrument within its case
Seems hard for him to schlep,
But we watched as he assembled it

News spins around my head.
Killings, a brave puppy dog
saving a kitten,
rape & heroic deeds
done by cop and villain.
October surprises loom,
we are led by the nose
to suppose
he lied
or tried hard to tell the truth.
Forgive me for...

Frost on the pumpkins and oak leaves are floating
Chills from the winds and no one is boating
Camps are closed and ice cream stands boarded up
I have marmalade on muffins and hot chocolate in a cup.

just me and my young son.
It was to be a lot of fun,
then home for a hot cross bun.
We waved to Mary's grandson,
then it had all begun.
