Nick Poems

Nick Knack Paddy Whack

Paddy was a hit man
for the Irish Mob
hired to be slick
and do a whack job
but he didn't have the knack
or know the trick
without being caught
and put in the nick
behind bars
but not the sort one might think
where a few jars
may be bought and he did so love a drink
more than one too many
was his undoing
the cause

Premium MemberDADDY NICK AND PAPA RICK

There was in a Christmas play, Daddy Nick
Whose role was to wrap presents surely quick
Dressed in Sta. Claus' best...
But while showing his jest
Special kids had chosen their precious pick.

So Daddy Nick joyously changed his trick
To act as fantastic, yet looking sick
The children prayed with zest...
"Lord, keep us glad and blest
Heal Sta. Claus, grant him well-being

Jolly Old St Nick

In a land adorned with tinsel and lights,
Where merry hearts danced through winter nights,
Christmas arrived, bringing laughter and cheer,
A time when joy and humor drew near.

Santa, the jolly old man dressed in red,
With his chubby frame and a beard widespread,
He squeezed through chimneys with utmost grace,
Delivering gifts at a merry pace.

Saint Nicholas, a legend from

I can laugh about it now
but it was a worry

Premium MemberDashing Ole' St Nick

I'm sending my love, 
And here's a hug too
Wishing nothing but
The absolute best for you. 

With love and esteem, 
We shall find our way
Hoping, and waiting for Ole' St Nick
Come and let's go play!

There's rumbling up on the rooftop,
And, the clatter was loud
Can someone, please, go up there
And have a look around.

We, nestled in our

Premium MemberJolly Saint Nick

It was late Christmas Eve
When awakened by a noise
I was hoping it was Santa
With a hefty bag of toys

Peeking from my bedroom
Caught a vision really wild
Santa covered all in tinsel
And giggling like a child

He spun around the floor
As if nothing else to lose
Stripped down to his boxers
Wearing ballerina shoes

Still whirling like a dervish
I guess he

Our Jolly Saint Nick seems quite sprite

With big happy smiles this fine night

He hands out his toys

And tween that enjoys

His old, faithful friend named Bud-Light!

Premium MemberThe Young Nick Rides Out

And was it not foretold from the days of my youth
Your lives predicted in an absolute truth.

You, Young Nick, spawn of the Old Nick, do that which you must do.
Do it quickly.
You have put it all in place; the people and the purpose. You have warped their minds,
Now do your master’s bidding.
Do you think you

A Man Hunger Has Been Kicking

He is an occupant of a room damp
And dependent on a rejected lamp:
The worst so far in their camp …

A room often not illuminated
But in it plants still germinated,
Selecting peeping spots in a cemented floor,
Daringly doing so back to the room’s door.

The room’s nearest neighbor a smelly dump,
To many microbes their Releasing Pump
And, sure, the

Premium MemberSaved In the Nick of Time

The thunder of guns echoed around the thick wood,
Dying soldiers trembled with pain, death understood.
I remember looking at the nightly bright stars.
Trying to find a freedom path, despite our scars.

Saved our poor lives as we crossed to the other side
Of the river. Another place now they could ride
Up to the mountain and hopefully search for

A Suitable Replacement

Whom I had decided to pick 
For the office was Dick,
Until I learnt that he’d been sick,
Unable to even his lips lick  
And on drugs to not seem a stick…


And I had to settle for Nick.
Now sure that it was no trick 
Like wonderful jobs, in reality ‘slick’,
Yet aware that Approved Nick 
Had been

Premium MemberOle Saint Nick Retired

While Rudolph and crew waited for Santa Claus, 
he got sprayed on by a big and annoying skunk.
Santa returned he nearly fainted, he had to pause,
And said, I’m going to retire and become a monk.

Premium MemberUncle Nick Cousin Pete and Grandpa

They came over from the barn as quickly as they heard.
They were going to be stern. I laughed and said “absurd!”
Two backed down quickly, Uncle Nick and Cousin Peter.
My grandpa backed up and away, about two centimeter.

We came to tell you to stop your wild women ways.
We want you to be your utmost self, no
