Podunk Poems | Examples


Premium MemberIf Only You Knew

If only you knew
The effort I made for you.

If only you knew
The sun and the moon
Were not always two.

If only you knew
How many flowers 
I threw at you.

If only you knew 
I had your back 
That whole way
At that podunk casino 
Back in Spanaway.

If only you knew
I was there 
When the tears 
Rolled down
Your daughter's cheek.

I watched you turn
Meek in return.

If only you knew
I carried you both through 
That heartfelt burn.

If only you knew
My name, my place, 
My existence at all.

But it hardly matters.
I'll always catch you 
When you fall.

Premium Member'twas the Night Before

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the town
It was totally quiet
Not one little sound

The air was still and cold
Nothing moved below
Everything in town
Was covered in snow

Then out of the sky
Came a large group of Whozits
Bringing with them
A few thousand Dontdozits

They planned to steal
All the gifts in the town
So on Christmas morning
Not a gift would be found

Before that could happen
Along cameYouaintgonna
The hero of heroes
From Podunk, Arizona

Youaintgonna told the head Whozit
Put those gifts where they belong
You and the Dontdozits
Know stealing stuff is wrong

You can't take what ain't yours
So I'm sayin' you ain't gonna
'Cause I am the hero
From Podunk, Arizona

That's how I got my name
And you cannot abuse it
So you will have to leave
Along with the Dontdozits 

Or you can stay and have some fun
When tomorrow rolls around
'Cause Whozits and Dontdozits 
Are welcome in this town

In My Mind Theres a Funk

In my mind there’s a funk
Does not mean that I’m sunk
If I drink then I’m drunk
Be as drunk as a skunk
Not so much that I stunk
Falling into my bunk
Never act like a punk
If I fail do I flunk
Hid away like a monk
Another myth to debunk
And sort through all the junk
Wipe up all of the gunk
My clothes have not shrunk
I’ve grown into a hunk
Full of vigor and *****
Keep your goods in a trunk
Store like a chipmunk
Oh my cake have a chunk
Or a cookie to dunk
What I wear is preshrunk
Did my engine just clunk
If I slink then I’ve slunk
Will I plink and then plunk
How did I get this punch-drunk
No I’m not from Podunk
