Long Snarly Poems

The Game of Hockey 

By Government decree, lacrosse
Is Canada’s national sport,
But in the hearts and minds of Canadians,
Hockey rules supreme.
Hockey is a winter sport enjoyed by Canadians since 1875,
When the game was first played, on...

My love, have you finally found?
That my steps don't even touch the ground?
My head's always wrapped in fog,
And I'm caught singing to the dog?
It's all because you thrill me.

I chase you around with a crazy...

The poison parrot is repulsed by me, hates my art, laughs at my poems.
sneers when I enter my imaginary world, pokes fun at it.
She throws roadblocks into my mood zone,
destroys my great ideas as fast...

When she walks around this Rocky Mountain downtown;
With a pretty-in-pink style Mohawk;
She doesn't look like an eighties version of a bad hangover.
While she obviously indulges in ballet classes,
As well as the occasional psychedelic drug that...

Sheesh! I think there are ANTS IN MY PANTS! The strange kid yelled.
The rest of us started laughing like our HEARTS were going to fall out.

Krampus is coming right up to your bed
He will give you a slap or thump you on your head
He is evil, a devil, and he does what your parents ask.
So if I were you, I...

We were alarmed when we saw the FBT on our video feed.
The Flying Bug Things (FBT) are from outer space, Planet Mead.

To do surveillance, and determine...

Day-248 “Winter’s Wrath”
From out of the north
The cold winds blew
Hell’s inferno turned blistery cold
The Devil himself all 
Bundled in ice coated steel; 
His snarly, crackling laughter
Piercing the barren air.

His staff, a brazened fork,
Pierced all who...

I fell forty-two feet into the time travel well, sadly.
And ended up barely alive, at the bottom, gladly.
Followed a crevice to a hunky macho caveman’s lair.
He had all kinds of ugly, cranky, snarly filthy hair.

Shockingly,...

An evil spider dropped down from behind. Help me! Help Me! She cried!
Oh white Knight… Can you save me? I’m on my tuffet trying to make a rip tide.
Where is he? Where is he? I...

she’s never been right, tripping over everyone’s laces.
it’s like a laser field, where she bumps into every bruise.
she ducks and limps, with charlie brown, circling bases.

her braids tangled and barely reaching the rescuing prince.
to make...

We are sluggish and miserable and fighting and mean.
Our collie is dragging, she's angry as any lop-off-your-head queen.
The temperatures are heating us up in a variety of ways.
Our attitudes match the temperatures, there is no...

Once upon a time there was a particularly snarly frog named Jade.

He called her...

Snarly ghost gargoyle, spook and ghoul.
Boast that they’d boil Ole Luke McCool.

With sock dummy fruit flies, all quite mean.

Don’t hold your breath, I beg you please,
As soon as the cow jumps over the moon
I’ll write you a note, hoping to appease.

Gorgeous Mr. T.W. Dog taught at the cat college, a big mistake.
They were snarly and growly, and many were totally fake. 
He tossed one meowing student out the window, she landed in a pond.

It was our sixth move.
We had been married three years.
My husband is always dissatisfied.
Thus we are perpetually moving.

He had this great idea.
It would be faster if I stood on the sidewalk
He would throw the things...

In tiny steps i climbed aloft
With chambermaid and pepper pot.
To see the Wizzle of the Snad
Make umphle of the ichybad.
'Tis oft the beast that burdens both 
The hunter and the Gruffalo,
For from its jaggy jagged...

They were gnarly and snarly and mean with sticking out tummies.
I think they are horrible, nasty, mean, and maybe they’re dummies.
That is not a nice way to be, my mother told me, give them a...

A merry old pole was she.
She called for her wipes and she called for her mole,
And she called for her diddlers three.

As good natured as any animal can be.
Nothing rattles him or makes him nasty.
He never loses his patience or his joy.

It's 3 a.m.  The universal witching hour, so of course, I'm wide awake.
The snarly opossums are on the porch, fighting over a delicious corn-fed steak.
Sophie Dog is on the back of the couch, growling...

We are snarly, and we’re gnarly,
We’re twisted, and we’re mean.
We smack you with our branches,
And we keep our real selves unseen.

We’re awful, and we’re terrible,
You had better keep your children away.
Because we’ll hold them, and...
