Short Bailey Poems

George Bailey, the depressed.
Most of his life, he was stressed.
Thankfully, he changed his life
And didn’t disgrace his wife!!!...

Big dreamer George Bailey
Read the Bedford Falls daily
Making him want to hurl
Until he kissed the girl!

Of  Bailey a  dram
Then some Irish Cream to taste
Cuppa coffee warm

Taste buds awetting

Looking for the blues of news
Every one a David Bailey
Selfie mad and share me crazy
Man and woman dog and

Now thee months since that day has passed,
Things going smoothly, nothing aghast,
Until a letter came addressed to, I. P. Daley...

Back in my birthplace, though it has no dazzle 
Jays still fly gracefully by its castle
By the olden hill it stands
As the mill in the hinterlands
Is turning in the wind
Like a tough rhino's skin 
Earthen fortress, tough front wall
Yield? Never! I am a barrier tall...

The infernal bane of Private Beetle Bailey,

   Is Sergeant Snorkel who pounds him daily!

      Beetle has mastered the fine art of goldbricking,

         And somehow manages to survive his daily licking!

A dog named Bailey
Is a basset hound
She would eat all day
If it could be done

She always wants food
Her stomach is never full
At night when tired 
Her bed is made up

In the laundry room
a gate to block the door
the whines to what seems
Like hours on end

Whines so loudly
That seems like hours
Only ten minutes
Until it all ends...

Brittany Bailey 
To create something new, 
You must abolish that of the old, 
In order for things to grow,
There are seeds for you to sow.
You cannot go from nothing-
To something
In the blink of an eye.
You won’t get from here  -
To there if you won’t try.
So let it all out -
Plant something new.
You never know what you can find to be true....

Bill Bailey the bagworm
Had more than enough
As bagworms go
He had plenty of stuff

His home was a castle
He’d lined with care
Stacking higher and wider
Than bagworms should dare

But one day Bailey sneezed
And it all tumbled down
Of the proud old bagworm
Nothing was found

But a heap of junk
That was pleasing to see
For all the other bagworms
Who collected with glee...

Your smile is brighter than the sun...
It makes my heart want to run...
How i feel for you i cant explain...
Thoughts of you are the only thing on my brain...
When you are not here there is pain...
Without you what is there to gain?
Your the anchor that keeps me here...
Your the wheel that helps me steer...
Losing you is my greatest fear...
If that happens then i will shed a tear........

Bailey is getting worse
Her illness is cancer
She is brought to the vet
We gather around the bed
Everyone pets Bailey
With tears being shed
Everyone says goodbye
While the vet doctor 
Injects the final shot
A Basset Hound so sweet
She will be missed by love ones
Such a gentle dog and quiet
She was loved by all
A dog like her will be 
Remembered always
So difficult to say good bye...
