Short Carton Poems

I’m
not an
expert in
marketing,
but if I was to
start selling milk -
the carton would have
to be shaped like a boob....

Honors to the missing bestowed
Soured milk carton full of toad
Milk from the carton did unload
Through white puddles a black cat strode...

On a quest for a warlock or wizard or queen
We’re seeking out blizzards, or so it would seem
One look at the queue
It will melt ‘fore we’re through
I’m going inside for the carton ice cream

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sometimes 
I feel like an expired carton of eggs,
like a library filled with books that no one reads anymore,
obsolete
like a carton of milk whose expiration has long past...

Sneak, sneak, power, power.
My little carton of milk.
God protects him.
All over the Ned.
Sneak, Sneak, twizzle of eye.
Light light, almost on.
Light, light, candle option.
Of course, rubbber.
Coming close.
Ned catches you....

Milk, the white fresh beverage
Is far too underrated
Lost in the depths of people’s mind
Kills the thirst or spice

It is what I call a drink
So creamy and smooth

Greatness in a carton or glass
O blessed cows
O blessed drink
Do me a favor and pour me a glass...

“Where is your egg cozy?”  She asked me.
Recliner? Couch? Bed? Pillow? Fluffy blanket?
I did not really know.
“Maybe in the egg carton in the refrigerator?” I guessed.
I knew below an egg beater 
or 
dropped onto a floor 
were certainly wrong answers.
She laughed....

Michael likes iced milk coffee
And drinks a carton each day you see
There is only one he likes
Farmer’s Union is just so right
And at the end of the day
It’s Farmer’s Union right away
So lift a carton and drink it cool 
Iced Coffee and Michael is just the rule!

I popped out of a pink egg carton on a fine Monday morn.
Entered an eggbeater contest, ended tattered and torn.
Drank egg cream, did the most marvelous egg dance.
Started to England and ended up in a chateau in France.
Had a swig of fancy eggnog, Italy is where I landed.
Turned into an exaggerated egg-atic, sneaky, devious, and underhanded....

Empty


Empty,
 a crushed milk carton
tossed in the trash,
small amounts of liquid still lingering
in a far off corner at the bottom
souring by the minute

And as I look
down into the wasteland,
the photo I see,
in black and white,
bent and misshapen,
creased through the middle
as the one missing
from my life…
is of you


Then I realize
it is I who am…
empty...

The strangest act by a loved patron:
Inviting police and his baton
Over missing drinks in a carton
Reported stolen by a matron.

Now, dragging down club Electron.
She shall change her name to Neutron
Or, still nice and as sweet proton;
She might be sued if it's "Citreon".

But this is lesson for Miriam,
Who would into a cellar ram:
Loved for being a workaholic
Disliked for being Alcoholic....

tried to save a honeybee
three times yesterday
heard him buzzing
he was close
maybe in my paintbrush towel
discovered him upside down
on one of my canvases
had he gotten stuck in paint?
captured him in a cottage cheese carton
using heavy paper underneath
took him outside three times for release
was amazed each time when he was not there
up on the moment of release
a spirit animal?
possibly...

Call your mother once a day
Or she will hunt you down.
She’ll send out scouts
Enlist the cops and a sniffing hound

Call your mother once a day
Or you’ll be sad to see
A video of you on the news
And on a milk carton your picture will soon be.

Call your mother once a day, daughter,
Or your life will have less laughter.
You think getting married will stop her?
No. Now she has two of you to go after....

The crazy befouling animalistic urges
Life beyond character
Carton of sulphuric acid
A calm third gender walks out
A person called Chex
Female, Male and Chex
Chex are vemonous
A creature or (person) of infinite ability
Not manly
Not feminine
Just the perfect being
Not god of course
But the third gender
Not a confusion or a mix of both
But the Perfect Gender 
Who makes this third gender?
Human kind...

don't hold it to long 
exhale a cloud 
go ahead grab a beer
it won't be long now

every ten minutes
back to that room
watch other friend's 
crush it up in a spoon

it's a big pink chunk
break's down clearish white
grab your boot's 
get ready for a ride
a carton of cigarette's later
only three or four night's

this is not a reflection 
of how i get down
just my conception 
of thing's I've been around...

The engins running the road is calling out for me,
and my heart is sayin, 
" let's get away from the beatin' and the fightin' and whats all this yellin' 
about?? let's get to a place where we know we're aloud."

I wont be the face on the milk carton I wont be forgotten about.
I'll be on billboards I'll be in magazines
I'll be loved 
I'll be taken care
And that's all that's matters to me,
 cause then i will know i am free.

Let us the issues finalize:
Two more topics just analyze
One can narrative summarize;
On dryness water canalize...
Why ghosts in places crystallize:
If dreams through them materialize?

Ghost I'd seen of carton color,
Its look that of obvious pallor;
Had good money in carton;
While human dropped by a Paton
"You come back with it in a week!"
But killer drugs had him made weak...

Now Ghost keeps repeating"Carton"
And sometimes"Sorry, Sir Paton!!...
