Long Squirrely Poems

Summer magic, Winter delight, Spring fresh, and beautiful Fall.
The diverseness of the assorted seasons tends to delight us.
Each has its own ambiance and nuances, after all.
Some years they arrive with less fuss and muss.
Summer is...

Farcical fancies,
Woodland rhymes,
These are not just
For bedtimes!

Farcical fancies,
Wait and see;
You’ll repeat them
Back to me!

Woodpecker, really,
Won’t you hush!
By now, aren’t your
Brains all mush?

Woodpecker, silly,
Watch your head!
If I did that,
I’d be dead!

Polliwog, Bullfrog,
Here’s a joke
It’s so bad,
You’ll...

Born into a mafia family,
with his umbilical cord in a knot,

Like a living statue, the age-old tree
stoically stood there—anchored
and silently growing in majestic being.

At the tree trunk’s ground level, stood
a tiny squirrel—the happiest
of its anchored tenants—manipulating
its prized find with animal dexterity
mimicking that of a seasoned...

    Talk about strutting your tail-feathers, 
and using your assets to get what you want,
when calling card
is no gambit or bluff to flaunt-
In the crimson sky, read taled, 
"Glinted Eye", air siren...

From the the first time we saw your tiny body

You put such a huge smile on our face.

Your crazy squirrely eyes and zest for life

just took us to a brand new place.

You didn't just eat...

All was well in the kingdom until squirrely
Burlesque queens with raunchy, yet
Candid sense of humors and delectably
Delightful appetites of various natures began
Eliminating unappreciative uptight relatives and fair weather 
Friends who could not empathize and did...

I have a pet visitor who loves  cherry  tomatoes and finds them succulent

The contrast of the
bluest sky to be 
and the crispest green
seen. Make one enjoy
the colors between.
From the petals,
whites thru indigos.
Robins red; Grey
squirrely fellows.
Outside you'll
find enough
to inspire.
Brightest
desires.
Spring.

Now
Summers
here.
The sunshine
beckons all
to appear.
Wave hit beaches
invite feet's splash.
Woodlands call fourth
picnickers...

(This is a fictional poem)

When my friend watches TV and movies, he believes that everything is real.
He was eventually committed and now he's taking pills.
When he watched ET, he really believed that aliens had landed.

As I look down from here
I feel like I am falling
That is when I realize
It’s you my friend calling

I go out on a limb
To gather my harvest
I must make it through
Winter is the hardest

Snap the pictures,
get ready to be repulsed
Iron Man is on the nude again
	Naked lies,
wearing flimsy linguistic lingerie
Dictators don’t bother to disguise
what they think, do or say
Business man, 
	Tony Stark alter ego
Putin wannabe ...
		Strong man model...

Next Monday I get my peepers checked
Certainly couldn't be better timing
Bumping into walls, wearing Cathie's sciveys
For my 20-20 vision I'm pining

Fed our bird Tweety a big bowl of dog food
Fed our dog Rover some bird...

born with a caul I heard, born with a caul.
on the afternoon of the Omaha Squall.

Winter Begone: Ode to the Squirrely


I found myself outside braveing Winter's bleak
Snow lay deep upon the ground--long past a week--
As more flakes christened life on this frozen creek
I saw him standing quite still, puzzled and...

Most hyenas are not predictable but Squirrely was the weirdest of all
So strange, he was thrown out of the pack when he was a cub
He’s just so unusually and blatantly odd, said his sister, Maul

Imagine ... our continental divide,
seen by nose lengthers who are not sharp-eyed.
The Yellow-Bellied Marmots, host the most,
from the northernmost down off the west coast.
There are six varieties of marmots
that live in the area, and what...

Grandson Gideon’s three
and he takes after me:
a truth that is sometimes quite hard.

Just last night after dinner,
he pulled a real winner,
decided to poop in the yard.

It’s easy to laugh,
but he needed a bath,
and he hadn’t...

Leslie Neilson
Straight faced reveals a pun
But what surely made him squirrely
They wouldn't stop calling him Shirley

Armed with wit and naked gun
Genius buffoonery unparalleled
Save for what Peter Seller's Clueso upheld

He was a hatchet-faced guy with snaggle-teeth,
most said he was okay in a peculiar way.

It happens sometimes;
snaggle-toothed hatched faced guys get itchy,
the kind of itch you can't buy a cream for.

After his first three murder...

beak’s pecking away
chiselling wood from my side
hole reveals insides

is it work or play
pecker’s constant yammering
or to stir me up

plug up scab or slug
the critter who’s fleshing out
a home for squirrels

i’m feeling squirrely
running on a hamster...
