Short Bran Poems

we had a bran
born on a farm
no mesh
everything fresh
its  was so cool 
to eat that soul food
thinking my mind toots
its my
SOUTHEN ROOTS...

I once bought a box of All Bran,
But I tipped it down the loo pan.
It was destined for there,
So I didn’t much care,
And I cut out the middle man....

They named their baby Brad to be grand
But with a typo it came out Bran
How's that for luck
But then it stuck
Now they're raisin Bran I understand...

Forced to eat bran she kept candid
Due to the great new job she landed
Though she conceded
That it was needed
She didn't want to reveal she was bran-ded...

There was a woman who had a birthday
No age would she ever give away
Everyday she ate bran
Now regular on the can
A strong odor she did display.

There once was a man named Griff Gruffen.
Who lived for his daily bran muffin.
When the bran ran out.
He started to pout.
Now poor Griff starts his day with nothin'....

Wake up feeling fresh
Have a shower, dry my flesh 
 Out my window bran new day
I love my morning Saturday 

Playful day lots of fun
Underneath summer sun
Plenty daydreams walking dog
Some come true, some get lost...

Some days shine like a diamond, some like a stone
Today is a diamond day, all my troubles have flown
What is life's master plan
Maybe a bowl of All-Bran
It could be as simple as more time on the throne...

If becoming  "regular " is your goal
Pour some All Bran in your cereal bowl
It does taste just awful
Rather have a waffle
But not to much or you may lose "control"

o youth,where did you go
those yesterdays,still glow
pure white,as virgin snow-
whose face is this I see,
is this really me;
where,where did youth flee-
inside,still seems bran new
my youthful outlook,stays
albeit,passing days-
a future lies ahead
beyond the grave,He said
the narrow path,to tread...

I have a hole in my shoe
I don’t know what to do
I could buy bran new
I could try some glue

Maybe a plaster or two
Silly me there for fingers and knee
I got to think hard 
Maybe some leather and tar

Mastic works on sealing gutters
Mutter, mutter to myself
Think I’ll ask an elf 
If he can’t do it, he can wash the delph...

Sid suffers from bad constipation
This causes his wife aggravation
You should eat some bran 
Exclaims his wife Fran
This requires his co-operation

But stubborn Sid won’t copy Fran
Who adores eating healthy wheat bran
And he won’t eat veg
Like their grandson Reg
So Sidney spends hours on the can

Dinas Bran

tell your tales 
share them with me
I have travelled far to listen

your walls remaining 
huddle forward like greyed old men
around a warming fire

let me sit quiet as the night
in your moon shaped shadow 
and dream as you do

walk across my thirsty mind
flagons filled with stories
I will not fear your ghosts
they just want to be heard....

Little stray dog
Lost in the fog
All skin and bone
Where is your home?

Got no pet-food
(YOU ain't no prude!)
Just want a smidge
Let's look in the fridge...

Scarf down sweet-pickles?
(The starvin' ain't fickle!)
Raisin bran gone
Still here at dawn...

LORD, you gettin' fat
As a lazy house-cat
But you're just a loaner
('Til I find your true owner)...

Cheerios lacks sugar
Alphabet cereal needs marshmallows
A wise one invents Lucky Charms
I eat all the colorful marshmallows out of it too

Wheaties and Raisin Bran are awful.
Daddy eats them
I have no idea how
Is there a sugar swamp in the bottom of his bowl?

In the winter we have Cream of Wheat
Malt-o-Meal
Coco Puffs
Nothing is special about Special K...

PEOPLE   I   WILL    NEVER    BE

  
A pregnant woman  -  cos I’m a man
President of Nigeria   - only a Nigerian can  
A tall blonde model   - cos short and dark with deep tan
Dancer at Folies Bergere  -  cos   I can’t  can-can
A sex symbol  - on my picture would be an aesthetic ban
Some  health nut…....I never eat my breakfast bran
Singing star…....with my voice, my wife’s  my only  fan...

o youth,where did you go
those yesterdays,still glow
pure white,as virgin snow

whose face is this I see,
is this really me;
where,where did youth flee

inside,still seems bran new
my youthful outlook,stays
albeit,passing days

a future lies ahead
beyond the grave,He said
the narrow path,to tread

in a resurrected body,new
for what I did for you

quote by Phyllis McGinley (1905-1978)
“Time is the thief you cannot banish”

Eternity waits:  Your end, tyrannish.
“Time is the thief you cannot banish.”
Days then weeks begin to vanish;
whole months stolen in a span
as your brain turns to bran.
You don't remember
whence December.
Who am I
to die?
Aye.

                                     There once was a great cereal Kashi
                                        Enjoyable for it is not squashy
                                      It's so much better than just bran
                                    That looks and taste like plain ol' tan
                                   Much more delightful than simple dashi

"AS THE MISTY MOON RIDES HIGH"
Hoots from hungry owls' echo through the valleys 
With the morning sun half awake 
A bran new day opens eyes 

Surviving through another night 
Chipmunks, squirrels, possums, and hare 
Play joyfully- until the sun sinks... 
And the owl hoots again 

One less hare- but three new baby kits 
Jump out from their nest, next morn!  
With the mist just about to ride high again 
SWOOP!  Breakfast at Tiffany's...for Mr. Owl

Get that tooth out! My husband said.
He’s a wussy; yank it from his head!
The grandchild was shrieking; his name is Jack.
I could not do it, so I held myself back.

My husband came at with him pliers now.
Oh, sure that will work; the kid had a cow!
The tooth fairy is in no hurry I said to my man.
Back off; you are scaring him. Go eat some bran.

The tooth faerie came by and said, “Come on Frank!’
She was a grouchy, weird crank.
She took out her pliers and gave it a yank....
