Short Bump On A Log Poems

A Sloth's Life

I'm your lil sloth hanging on a prayer
The bump on the log without any flair
Hail Mary full of grace
Leave me from this rat race
Indifferent I suspend of any care

Aging is not easy, some days one feels like a sloth; lethargic.

Sometimes one feels as though eating is, a dreaded and exhausting chore.

But, one day you’ll realize, that bump on the log, is yourself!

I’m somebody!  Who are you?
Are you somebody too?
Then there’s a pair of us – do tell!
We must advertise – you know!

How dreary to be nobody!
More worthless than a frog
Who without a name - croaks all day
To be a bump on a log!...

To be a bump on a log!

I took the road less traveled
to hear if a falling tree
with no one around
(aside from yours truly)
does make a sound
but lost my way
veered far astray
and for the life of me
couldn't see
the forest for the trees
but if I could
it would feel so good
not a bump on a log nor lump on a stump
as then I'd be out of the woods

You Should Through Trump Out

When you are in doubt,
You Should Always Through Trump Out;
Start to twist and shout.

Has he really been a road hog
Or a Republican Demagogue
Who drains up likes to clog
Gets lost in fog or much smog
We should run over like a bump in a log.

Sometimes I think; sometimes, I do not
     Sometimes I can’t remember what I forgot,
Sometimes I wonder whether, or not
     Sometimes it is merely an after-thought.
Sometimes I am either coming or going
     Sometimes I am receiving or bestowing,
Sometimes I am lost in a mental fog
     Sometimes I feel like a bump on a log.
Sometimes doesn’t mean always, you know
     Sometimes I merely go with the flow.

The tortoise sits like a bump on a log
The people think his mind's in a fog.
But really, he's seen more than you think.
Enough to make you shock and rethink

He's seen battles of war,
Invasion and more.
He's got a hundred years more
Then you have been born.

Seen presidents and news,
Happy times and blue,
Styles and songs,
Rights and their wrongs.

But now he sits in a cage
Passing his days
As children stare in awe,
He waits for the call....
