Poodle Poems

A poodle lives like a shadow.
It is not ill-treated, just ignored, 
so it moves from room to room
but stays away from her couch.

The place is littered with her underclothes,
discarded bras, panties, garters and negligee.
I had no idea
why these things all...Read More

I remember the time when I was four
A little child knocked on mother’s bedroom door

Mum can I have a poodle for my birthday
You see I am lonely and the other children are far away

And so my wish was granted that...Read More

Smelled of orange, dense wet woods and musk. 
Piercing bright blue steady eyes
Looked up theirs
Constrainted gaze upon his joyful face
So pleasant and entertaining
The Fro with the Negroni
His golden poodle alfro welcoming the bright sun
Stylish shoes, suits; a well groomed homosapian....Read More

If I could wrinkle my nose like Samantha Witch
in the old TV shows from the 60’s and get my way,
I would not ever have to clean a bathroom toilet again.
Anyone remember Hazel the maid? I would get her here.

After all...Read More

Through the eyes of one born in 1952:

1950’s TV craze
Muscle cars, blue jeans
Poodle skirts, class ring exchanges
Simple time, grandparents involved.
Girls want to be pretty, men call women girls

I Love Lucy
Topper, Loretta Young,
Show of Shows
Grandma’s house on Sundays. Grandpa’s teach skills.

Matzo pasta does not have noodles
  Kosher for Passover has rules by the oodles 
Even your collie or poodle has to abide by these rudles
  And eat leaven-free treats --- not exactly apple strudel

At first it's not bad,...Read More

A Current Nursery Rhyme

Hey google google
The cat and the poodle
The cow jumped over the moon
To be seen on Google sky soon...Read More

One criteria for heaven: Unconditional love for everyone
Not for only people who look like you
Or think like you
Not that there are any others.
Your religion, neighbors and family cannot help you now.

Guarantees you will get there:  A loving heart
Joy in...Read More

Deep at heart Tim is a dreamer and longs for 'that' dream

And still and in certain arrest he is a child of gone times

His parents Hans and Ida had told him in misleading terms

Janice’s Looks in the Mirror

Like a pendulum from an orange clockwork

The agent high above on raucous prayers

She hung high and dry suspended in drought


Resembling a shot of liquid poppies injected

The heroine succumbed in Noah’s wet arch

Until finally she could walk...Read More

"Run and play tag", they said.
"Go fetch the ball", they said.
"Go and get groomed, he said"
"Run with me to the mall", she said.

one day I said "no"
and then I was dead...Read More

Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop, Wop
Shoop, Shoop
Shoe, Wop

The moment I laid eyes on you
I knew it was true love
You were sharing a root beer float with your friends
Down at the soda shop

I looked debonair in my Pompadour
You cute in your poodle skirt
I...Read More

Les C. More back from the vay-cay holidays,
giving my poetry peeps
a look-see at an odd Klondike meet




He ain’t nothing but
small potatoes
Trying to live
big-talk lettuce large

His backsliding snowshoes
walk so holey
That short con grifter grin
spin tall tales — 
Green giant beanstalk
talk guacamole-y

Mucho...Read More

God we have appreciated and applaud;
Is our Holy one who we love and laud,
And we heard;
His every word;
Removed sins when from us were shod.

Always remember what we did envision;
We were determined to make a decision;
God must choose,
And never refuse;
Had been...Read More

THE CERTAINTY? 

Every Sunday at 10.35, whatever the season,
The elderly couple from down the road walk by on their way to Matins.
It used to be 10.45 in their prime but, as age creeps on, it takes more time to get...Read More

red rooftops appear to glow in rainy-day haze
lost in memories of pre-war bliss
     she looks up to watch them bleed

pain is its own reward sometimes
better than the numbness 
     she so desperately...Read More

Cool Dip In the Pool


The sun didn't hide, so it was hot outside, 

I could have baked a cake.

I decided to bum and  jump in the pool, it wasn't cool, 

my dog Doodle that was deaf was basking on...Read More

Romeo loved his "kit-and-kaboodle",

Kept it clipped like a champion poodle

But a glitch in his gland ...

Meant the thing wouldn't stand

So it hung from his gut ... like a noodle.

Ted’s libido has now gone astray
He refused a quick roll in the hay
So what could be the cause -   
It’s the male menopause   
He’s been grumpy and snappy all day!
 
His testosterone levels have dropped ...Read More

Marriage is not an anachronism
  Marriage is a bond

Marriage is not a calypso
  It is a marathon

Marriage is not a gentle breeze
  Nor is it pristine
    Marriage is a choppy sea

She’s a keen lady, well   she’s my poodle
One who ‘d roll only  in the guestroom,
With quirky  manners  of caboodle
And whistles proudly ,   so out of  tune:

Once we dashed to her classy stylist
For...Read More
