Long Practical joke Poems

I've lived in Idaho before they turned our state sideways to resemble a gun
Seen lively conversation stop midsentence aftering catching a glimpse      Of the sun

Yeah and some may say we...

I was reading Dragon a book, like to children, you should always do.
Yes, it was about a fairy princess and the dust she scattered everywhere, too.
Apparently it added magic, wherever she scattered it, as along,...

You’ll never guess whom the cat drug in; have a day where you just couldn’t win?
He came strutting in, smacking his gum loud, dressed to the nines Goth Punk style.
Tats trailed down his left arm,...

Dynamic reef flexion within the restless Earth

Continental drift spelled birth
once spelled Pangaea, 
in early geologic time,
a supercontinent that incorporated 
almost all the landmasses on Earth.

While rifling through mine 
treasure trove of poems,
yours truly chanced upon...

Dynamic Re: Flexion Within The Restless Earth

Blame Neptune for unleashing
     Indonesian tragic phenomena
     just by his innocent wink
merely intended by regular
     casual reminder

Hungry for munchies, on his way to the lunchroom, 
a rambunctious, persnickety,“fuss-budget”, elderly
jittery, fidgety, geezer, named Cassidy…
whose questionable dexterity, aghast by a massive sneeze,
teeter-tottered precariously. 
at the edge of the thingamajig, ...jigging one way, jagging...

All dressed up with no where to go
No place in my heart, colder than snow.
Falling away from those whom I love
Knowing I do harm to the people I shove.
Forgiveness doesn't exist to my sad soul
When...

Devastated at the news I've heard.
Totally shocked this is absurd
The passing of a Welsh legend
Proud to have served my butty friend.

He started his long career
As a proud Welsh infanteer
He then transferred to the Corps
His knowledge...

We named her Miss Sundae, our cat with a cause
She looks like a princess in 'Dairy Queen' sauce  ...
(Vanilla ice cream, and butterscotch paws)
A calico lady of gold, brown and white
Her royalty reigns every...

Modest swimsuits, bathing boxes
 White-blue flesh ice cold
Scratchy towels, sandy sandwiches
 Pots of tea being sold
Foxford blankets, picnic baskets – 
A donkey ride on the strand
Flowery summer frocks, mischief brimming 
 A practical joke being...

Wedding day—or day before it—
But always someone else’s;

Someone else’s tears, someone else’s smile.
Three times a bridesmaid never a bride.
Never a bridesmaid, never a bride.

Sister’s getting married they said
Only parents get married I think.

I smile when...

Imagine the amount of love
it takes to hate so profoundly.
How hot the "Brutus" kiss must burn 
to reduce that bridge to ash.
The most brilliant star.
Grace of the horizon.
Torn down like so many
tawdry Christmas ornaments.
The keeper...

Isn't this brilliant?
Isn't it just gay?
Life is so resilient
With you gone away!
But I won't think about that now
No, not just right now anyway
For I've come to see the clowns
And they're laughing today!

It is kind of...

The bell rang—the courier.
But the ring rang a bell—an old story:

Once there was a young, enthusiastic priest.
He was assigned to a parish,
With a caveat: the villagers were all ruffians.
The young priest took it up as...

I am in charge of a nominating committee.
I nominate what I believe the entire nation should eat,
and I nominated cheeseburgers and was supported by the democratic party.
Fried Chicken has always been a favorite of the...

Mmmm - to have a good old soak
In bubbles in my bath
But someone played a practical joke
It isn’t funny, so do not laugh

Tell me when this happened
When did this occurrence occur
One day I could climb...

The Practical Joker

By Elton Camp

Joe, by a paving contractor, was employed
Practical jokes were what he most enjoyed

When an extra pair of boots he spied
Another of his inane tricks he tried

With paving he covered the tops...

Her name is Sundae, with four white paws...
Whatever her scheme whatever her cause
If I scan the newspaper, digesting the news
My effort is vain, ...there is simply no use!
Perhaps it is Sundae's practical joke...
It seems that...

The Joker of the John

By Elton Camp


When the dispenser gets empty, all will fume
But won’t put paper in the executive restroom

To put on a new roll is just way too undignified
And it would become the...

Winter’s chill creep’s up on us each year
The unforgiving frost start’s to appear
Spreading through the landscape
With little warning, nothing can escape
The dark encroaching on the daylight
We are living in constant night
The street lamp’s illuminating every...
