Short Biff Poems

There was a thrill seeker named Biff
 Who got married on a cliff
 Honeymooned  in Niagra
 Overdosed on Viagra
 Now the poor fella's  a stiff

At Ellis Island there were tons of lines
If you stood too long you were given fines
Your name easy if
It was Rose or Big Biff
Mine was misspelled about a hundred times...

I am the major general Hare said with a sniff
An ugly rumor had sauntered by with a whiff
He felt rage, consternation and a bit of miff
this gossip-y story came from his weird cousin Biff...

The cause of the newlyweds' tiff
occurred when he told her, 'I'm stiff' -
he didn't explain
his neck was in pain
and sulking, she gave him a biff!

Lots of mindless prattle and giggles from Cindy’s room
She was sweet-talking our next-door-neighbor Biff on Zoom
Some future Saturday they may become bride and groom
At ten, they are happy to laugh about silly things on Zoom...

A peculiar middle name, all my life I've been burdened with
Twas “Byard”, that's even worse than “Archibald” or “Biff”
What were Ma and Pa thinking
This name is still stinking
My name of Jack saved the day and made a big diff!

Super hero’s are the best
I love to wear my superman vest
Pretend I’m saving all my friends
Fighting the enemy, battle to the end

Other kids try to make me frown
My superpowers take them down
BIFF, BOFF, BAM, ZAP
My moves so fast, they don’t see the SLAP!...

A peculiar middle name, all my life I've been burdened with
Twas “Byard”, that's even worse than “Archibald” or “Biff”
What were Ma and Pa thinking
They must have been drinking
My nickname of Jack saved the day and made a big diff!

Queen cat had a collar that was so stiff
It hurt my neck to see it said her cousin Biff
On her head she had a measly pearl crown
Poor, but her lips did not often curl into a frown

I am satisfied with my life Queen cat said.
Happy with whatever enters my poetic head.
When she came to visit, she slept in my bed.
I took the couch gratefully said her brother Jed....

I had no idea that bears had a ceremony I said.
You are hilarious! Yelled my nature loving cousin Fred.
How do you think they get married? He asked with a sniff.
I didn’t know they did I said, which tickled Aunt Biff.

How do they have children then? She asked me Tuesday.
I guess, well, I think……………………….in the usual way?
Without marriage or preacher? You are a scoundrel she said.
So, I attended their wedding. Their colors were pink, honey and red....

A sunflower stands tall, enthrall,
A hidden  gem in an empty field,
High on its long unbranched, stem,
Plate size, hue yolk-yellow, full face,
With a mild, sweet,  nutty scent.
A  drop of red-berry jam on its hem.
Ruffled young dragonfly raced,
A wild attraction of folly feast.
Sherry, the little fairy sat in its place.
Dragonfly, raises its wings, weave, flit,
Stopped and hovered, got a sniff.
Biff, tiff, turned its nose and flew off.

A masked crusader
leapt off the screen
and stepped into 
my nightmarish dream

and with a Biff! And a Boff!
he fought off my foe
from the kind of dream threats
we all know

and then he turned 
quickly looked me in the eye
and said; “this is where 
I have to say goodbye!”

“But ..but you can’t leave!
I Screamed, I Ranted
in a panicked sorrow;
what about tomorrow?


And as he tore away
his whispered echo said

“you know your on your own now, and I know

you can find your own way home.”...
