Short Botch Poems

Each life-giving push do not botch
Control CPR with a watch
This patient has socks
Knock them off using shocks
And zap not the heart but the crotch...

A gunslinger carving a notch
Slipped, sticking the knife in his crotch
Of course it drew blood
But more like a flood
So right thar lies Cassidy Botch...

~So sad and depressed
My ferment notions 
Botch up emotions,
realized I'M BLESS~

A blooper, a blunder, a bungle, a botch
A miscue, a misstep, misjudgment and more
A faux pas, a boo-boo, a bumble for sure
A miscalculation, a miscomputation, grade goes down a notch....

Hear That They Have Been Coming

We heard that they have been coming;
And all the songs they were humming;
TV watch;
Sometimes botch;
Up things about them must be summing.

Will Watch Trump Botch


Trump up many things he will botch;
Does like to lie and then others watch;
Stim to stern,
While they churn;
In his lie belt has put another notch.

the moon tails off
remnants log off
And wings  cool off
On the cloud lei 

Sleepy cats botch
Sitting on crotch
Divine night watch
Ascent of dei

Watch All Other TV Stations

Except FOX, all other news TV Stations watch,
Because all up things Fox does seem to botch;
Whittle away,
Night and day;
More irritation caused when Fox carved a notch.

Hooked onto the jugular notch
is a ray of light under God’s watch,
that soul’s ascent ego may not botch.

Noticing the happenstance reoccur,
with bliss magnetism we concur,
as nodes within, in joy purr....

When driving through a downpour
You must keep a careful watch
And hope your driving record
You won’t have a chance to botch.

You have to raise your highway skills
By more than just a notch
And once at home, the thing to do
Is have a shot of scotch!...

New York City is overrun by rats!

   And is driving the poor citizens bats.

      Guv'mint will botch extinction.

         They ne'er act with distinction.

            I'd suggest they bring in legions of cats!

I Hit Your Car


I hit your car in the parking lot. 
I was there and you were not. 
So I write this note as the people watch, 
and my licence plate they will botch. 
And now this driver he must go. 
I don’t want to be here when you show.

Who can see this happen? I'm scared
It moved me and made my heart feel snared

But I knew I could only watch
Blood splattered violently across the botch 

While you are engaged in an endless game
Everything is unfair, I kept thinking, what a shame!

Her Love With Me Will Share

My darling dear who I find so fair,
Does have fine face and great hair;
Bells will ring,
When does sing,
And her love for me she will share.


What did happen was they did botch,
Something that occurred on my watch;
By gone;
Was on;
In belt had carved an accident notch.

When an uptick in violet crimes
Made the front page of the New York Times,
Seems the cause of the botch
Was the proof of the scotch;
Now the checker hawks greeting card rhymes.

On God's Watch No Botch

Throughout history
On God's watch no botch may be
Except maybe me.

Don't wait to delude
Read my poems and not exclude
Spirit will exude.

Run interference
For my facial appearance
Hope disappearance.

At times my poem bores
Wish they were as good as yours
Coming out my pores.

Sounds like some great ideas to me.

My little brother cut his hair on my watch
I decided to fix it, the best I could do.
He was squirming, it’s uneven, a job of botch.
Not my fault I told my mom, blame it on Hugh.

Hugh is three, mama said. I blame you, you, you.
That made me angry, now I am irritated with Hugh.
When a little bro cuts his hair, what’s a big brother to do?
I have to tell you, now we are both in the doghouse too....

She wasn’t a beauty
though pretty enough
Her gait charismatic
 with looks to rebuff 

He wanted to stop her
he waited and watched
For light in the tunnel
one chance not to botch

At last she took notice
his heart beating fast
Their eyes locked together
a fleeting repast

Time was suspended
new love in the air
As she boarded her plane
—leaving only a stare

I've never learned to change a tire.
It's not a skill I wish to acquire.
If stuck I'm always going to hire..
Also, can't change my car's oil,
perhaps I was a bit spoiled.
Cooking I botch, even with foil..
Couldn't dance til I took aerobics.
I've always been math a phobic.
Don't have the patience to be stoic..
There's just one skill I'd like to hone,
speak Chinese on the phone, so
telemarketer's will leave me alone......

I have a friend so dear
though clever she's not clear
to life and these things
her phone constantly rings

but to answer it is she don't
when to be somewhere she won't
if so she's surely late
even for a date

she has no sense of time
that doesn't seem to chime
I always behold the watch
I'm dependable don't botch

I ask myself this though
is time just a show
so we will be swift chasers
one day we'll be time erasers...

Well versed
    rehearsed
    Best man
    began
    He joked
    provoked
    Each word
    was slurred
    Blah blah
    faux pas
    Defamed
    and shamed
    The bride
    soon cried
    Now crushed
    she blushed
    Red faced
    disgraced
    Without
    a doubt
    He put 
    his foot
    Inside
    his snide
    Wide scouth
    loud mouth
    Not quite 
    contrite
    Ashamed
    he blamed
    His botch
    on Scotch.
