Roscoe Poems - Poems about Roscoe

Roscoe

He stands 11inches tall,
his eyes are black as coal!
He wears an enigmatic smile,
and he has no heart or soul!

His given name is "Sawyer",
but, I decided, that don't fit!
So, I'm gonna call him "Roscoe",
don't know why, I must admit!

He has his limitations,
of that I'm well aware!
He's not a human being,
he's just a little Teddy Bear!

He gives

Roscoe Gets a Shock

Roscoe Gets a Shock

By Elton Camp

Roscoe is zealous for his rights
To assure ’em he willingly fights

That his conscience be respected
Is absolutely a right to be protected

To his legislator he did say
“I won’t do business with a gay”

“Now pass a law to that effect
If my vote again you ever expect”

In his state, Roscoe gladly saw 
Discrimination

Roscoe and His Ex

Roscoe And His Ex

By Elton Camp

Years later, it still did vex
The wrongs done by his ex

After she’d taken all his dough
With another, away she did go

His car she drove away, too
That they wed, Roscoe did rue

It nearly drove him wild
When she had a little child

Another wife he couldn’t get
He was still paying off her debt

Since

Roscoe Feeds the Birds

Roscoe Feeds the Birds

By Elton Camp

Roscoe enjoys spreading bird seed
To give pigeons the food they need

To his favorite bench they fly
When they see him passing by

He tosses the seed upon the ground
While a flock gathers all around

One day, the birds seemed strange
In appearance there’d been a change

For no pigeons clamored near
Vultures! Old Roscoe did fear

Roscoe Had Too Much To Drink

Roscoe Had Too Much to Drink

By Elton Camp

Roscoe drank so much that he felt unsteady
To drive home in his car, he just wasn't ready

"If I should get caught by the town police again,
The case, with the judge, I'll never hope to win."

So he left his car parked out back of the saloon
Roscoe was headed home

Roscoe Learns Not To Cheat His Uncle

Roscoe Learns Not to Cheat His Uncle

By Elton Camp

It’s been years since Roscoe income tax has paid
As a man who is self-employed, he had it made

From many of his clients, it was cash he demanded
He felt not reporting it smart, even if underhanded

“The government just wastes most that they get.
They are not going to miss

Private Roscoe Schlink Redeems Himself

Mr. Roscoe Schlink was drafted into the army in Bean Blossom, Indiana,
And was sent for basic training at Fort Fumble in the state of Louisiana.
He was given innumerable shots, yelled at a lot and shorn of all his hair,
Taught to salute, do an about face and issued baggy fatigues to wear!

He aspired to be a

Private Roscoe D. Schlink's Ocean Cruise

Dear Folks:  I pen this note as we ply the dark and stormy sea.
Thanks to Uncle Sam I'm cruising on the Queen Mary, all for free.
You'd think we'd travel in style on such a luxurious tub,
But I'll tell you about life aboard and what we eat for grub.

As usual, the officers and nurses live

Private Roscoe D. Schlink Arrives At Fort Fumble

Dear Folks: Here I am at beautiful Fort Fumble, Louisiana.
I sure wish I was back on the farm in Bean Blossom, Indiana.
Already I've learned the army pastime of "hurry up and wait!"
And that sergeants ain't very nice - they just love to berate.

Sergeants met us at the train depot and herded us on a truck.
They

Private Roscoe D. Schlink's Induction Day

Dear Folks:  Just a few lines from your homesick army draftee.
Just twenty-four hours in the army and if it was left up to me,
I'd just as soon go home and forget the whole blamed thing.
I feel I've been sentenced to life in the barren walls of Sing Sing.

My first train ride was exciting for

Private Roscoe D. Schlink

The Army was getting desperate in nineteen-forty-three,
For warm bodies to fill vacancies in the good old infantry.
Alas, the draft board beckoned causing his heart to sink.
Thus, began the notorious career of Private Roscoe D. Schlink!

He was a naive country boy from Bean Blossom, Indiana.
They sent him for training to Fort Fumble in Louisiana.
Only five-feet-four, he

Goodbye Roscoe

This is the end and though I didn't shed any tears I still feel like 
something was torn from my heart and my soul.

 This one thing has kept my midnights filled when I was feeling so alone and helpless.

 I felt like I didn't have any one in the world, Lonley high school was
