WILE E COYOTE Cartoon Character Clerihew Poetry Contest
WILE E. COYOTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With ACME’s ludicrous gadgets galore, in the desert Wile E. Coyote plots
Builds rockets and traps that his nemesis, the Roadrunner, inevitably spots.
*“Beep! Beep!” Road Runner zips past with a dare, and with a tumble and crash
Wile onto the desert does splat; undaunted, he sends ACME more cash.

The Looney At The Wishing Well
I spend most of my
days at the wishing
well, tossing in loose
coins and spare change.
One wish for them,
one wish for me,
one wish for them,
one wish for me.
Only thing I ever ask
God or the universe
for myself is to
keep the cash flow
coming in.
Only thing I ever ask
God or the universe
for everybody else is
world peace and
maybe just

Merry Melodies Looney Tunes Tribute
With a quick competitive descent,
Darling Daffy and his feisty duels;
No sportsmanship? He turns violent;
He’s a stickler for all of the rules;
Makes no difference if it’s a giraffe
or Bugs Bunny banging on that piano,
play the game fair or get cut in half;
This the challengers ALWAYS know;
‘A lower standard will always debase!’
screams a bar

Looney Lula
I ask myself
who is this socialist Lula da Silva from Brazil?
How did he come to win the recent election of his country
despite his being recently jailed for corruption?
I look online to find out why people form an L on their foreheads
when mentioning his name. I find nothing about that.
However, I DO find that he created

The Looney Toon August Moon
The Looney Toon August Moon
David J Walker
Blame it on the moon
The monthly insanities
The nightly vanities
The comings
The going
the longings
In lonely mornings
The Moon is to blame
For all of the insane
Things I can name and
It is as plain as day that
The night might
Or might not sway things
Another way
In the

Coyote and the Road Runner
Wile E. Coyote
would wear Acme “floatie”
wings so he could swoop from mountain bluffs,
but always crashed below to silent puffs.
The Road Runner,
like a tail gunner,
would down Wile E. into the deep
valley floor with his trademark “meep meep!”

Is She a Bit Looney
Aunt Gertie changed her home to unicorn land
The day our uncle ran off with a mariachi band
Unicorn paintings peer at you from every wall
A unicorn neighs when you use her bathroom stall
Is she a bit looney? My friend Dee asked one day.
Well what do you mean? I replied. In what way?
Dee then saw my

The Tell-Tale Bells
The bells! The bells!
My looney, tuney pals!
The bells! The bells!
They curse and vex and howl!
The bells! The bells!
I must escape them somehow!
The bells! The bells!
The clanging, banging swells!
The bells! The bells!
The peeling, reeling knells!
The bells! The bells!
Sending, rending me to hell!
Imagination my frustration,
At the tintinnabulation,
Of the bells in ministration,
Ringing in my ears,
Bringing phantom fears,
To their

Looney Tweets
Donald Trump just loves to tell "jokes"
Like, "COVID-19 is an hoax!"
When somebody dies
He tweets, "Its all lies!"
Trump ought to sign off, "That's All, Folks!"

Crazy Looney Ugly Bug Face
Crazy looney ugly bug face.
Lazy, croony juggly mug race.
Daisy June-y muggly hug mace
Hazy, moony huggly rug chase.
Playing with words is so much fun.
I like them to prance from sun to sun.
Thrill of poetry writing is never done.
Crazy looney ugly bug face has won.

Hey...! It's me again
Oh noooooo Lifting the veil
Whoa...!
Hard body: kids call me iron man
Whoa...! No plastic dolls and wooden toys,
Smartphones for those contactssssss!
Strange calls heard by the people
Ain't that him? No it's her!
Whoa..! If you don't transform than you transport,
Is it life...? Is it planned...?

If I Were Looney
On the bus I pass by a building
We refer to as the looney bin
I can’t help but be looking
I see patients that aren’t locked in
They hang out catching a ray of sun
While smoking with an air of chagrin
They never look like they’re having fun
I think if I were in the looney ward
I’d want to escape

Looney Balloon
Me and you
And the rest of the crew
Spinning through space
On a looney balloon
Filled to the brim
With the hot air of man
Knots and screws coming loose
Out on the fringe
Without a clue
Of who let us loose
Busting a move
On this looney balloon
As we flip and we fly
Slide side to side
This way and that
All along for the
